So, currently researching tyres and I would like 175/55 R15 tyres on the front of my bus as a compromise between looks and ride quality, however, I cannot find anywhere that sells a 175/55 R15 tyre with a load rating of at least 85. If you know of anywhere, please let me know! :?

The closest size with an 'acceptable' load rating I could find was 175/65 R15 (load rating of 88 = 560kg, there is nothing between 88 and 84, with 84 = 500kg, so underspec'd).

So if anyone is running this size on the front of their bus, please post a picture!

couple of old pics, let me know if you want more


Great! Thanks! :party0047:

Lovely Bus! If you have more, especially without the white-wall, please share! (Not that I don't like white walls, I do, but it makes the tyre look lower than it probably is, so I cannot quite tell). :)
 






Best I can do as Boris is in the garage. These are Chinese tyres that came with when I purchased , hope this helps.
No rubbing at all.
