Hi all I'm a new bongonaut and am worried about my wheels being the same size all round? Will this damage my bongo? I have read somewhere that they should be different sizes front/rear! How important is this? All advice welcome?

Only difference in width
Front should be skinnier than rears

On 4 wheel drive bongos it is important to have the same height tryes ( rolling circumference must be the same)

Loads run the same size on all 4 corners as yours no need to worry

The wheels are the same size from the factory.

Original tyre size differs but what Gasy says is correct, if they're the same all round there will not be any damage.

A lot of us run 215 x 65 x 15's all round I have for nearly 13 years on mine anyway

There is a good fact sheet explaining about tyre sizes
