Hi guys!
Hope someone can help me! I've some troubles to find some tyres which have the correct load index. If I'm right then I need load index 96 on the back and load index 87 on the front. I want to put some fuchs on my bus, but in 15" there is no big choice for tyres with the correct load index! :(
Which tyres do you fit on your bus? For the back 205/65/R15 will be an option. But is there enough space for the tyres? Front I'm not sure!
Perhabs 185/65/R15?
Thanks for your help!
Regards

I've got 88's 175/65/15 on the front and 92's 185/65/15 on the back both with reinforced side walls from memory. Been fine with fully loaded westy. Were about £70 and £50 respectively I think. Mines also mildly lowered as well.
Hope this helps.
 
i got vancos on the rear. 92s xload (reinforced) on the front. I run 15" 356 reps, when i went shopping for tyres i loaded the van and measured the weight front and back. 88's were plenty at the time so I went 92s and I have plenty of room to add some more (extra beer etc on the way home from france )
 
Thanks for your help! I will try 195/65R15 on the back and 175/65R15 on the front! Hope there will be no problems on the mot! The mot in Switzerland is much more difficult than in UK! :(
Best regards

This is the size I went for on the back, in a Continental Vanco, commercial with a 98 load rating I think.

Fronts are 185/60/15 also Continental Vanco commercial with a 94 load rating.
