Bongo Fury

I can not find anywhere that sells a T135/90 D15 Temp Use Only space saver spare tyre for my S reg Bongo 4WD 2.5 Diesel camper van. The alloy wheels are all fitted with 195/70R15C 104/102R Nexen CP321 tyres but the 'spare' has a very old tyre on that needs replacement. Can anyone help with online suppliers? I live in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk
Thankyou

Your best bet is to source a 15" steel wheel and tyre.

This will be the same rolling circumferance as the space saver and will fit under the back of Bongy.

Someone did source a few new ones some while back but I don't think they can be had now, and a full size used steel and tyre will likely be a lot cheaper.

Note you may require different wheel nuts for the steel spare.

Hi,

A lot of people bin the space saver and use a full sized steel rim with "proper" rubber on it. Straight steels are frequently available from Bongo breakers and importers/owners who fit alloys. You will probably find that even if you have to buy brand new rubber and a second hand full sized rim it will work out cheaper than a space saver tyre.
There is plenty of room under the Bongo for full size rubber.

I have an old space saver with tyre on it. Free to a good home. Needs wire brushing and probably a new tyre too.

Its the tyre which is difficult to get, Cazz.

All sorted now I took BigPanzers advice and got a full sized steel wheel with a good tyre for £65 delivered from http://bongospares.co.uk
Thank you for all the replies

Sorted.

Thanks Bob

Hi Bob,
I see, not looked into it but now understand about the tyre problem on the space saver, I will probably
take it to the dump . LOL
Hope you and Sue are well and enjoying your retirement.

Both very well, thanks Cazz.

Oh yes, retirement suits very well.

Fun times. x

I managed to purchase a space saver tyre about two years ago. I was told that there were only two available at that time in the UK. It cost nearly £100.

Yes I can confirm the full size tyre and steel wheel fit at the back under the Bongo no prob. Definitely cheaper and better than the old spacesaver wheel and tyre.

On another thread weebrian is offering full size spares at £10 each collection only from Birmingham. Bargain - grab one quick.
