Slam Tyres Options

[holeydub]

took the van out for a little run the other day and baring the fact that im scrubbing out on any lump in the road im not 100% confident in the laoding in my current smart car tyres... they're not new and where already on my old 4.5 flat4 fuchs so would be happy changing them, ive seen a lot mentioning other sizes but noting solid on 4.5's any idea's or a link to some more info would be great

oh its narrowed 4.5 inches and slammed on the floor

If it's super low the. 165/50/15 should do I would think
And if your gonna raise is a touch then 165/55/15.
I doubt either of these are greater load rating than you have tho.

This seems to be the issue I've come up with

Use van rated tyres if you can get um it makes a hell of a difference on driving, steering, braking. I've been there done that but my tyres are as small as yours.

Search on here there are a few threads about it

Smallest commercial-rated tyres I could find were 185/60 R15C Continental VancoContact (load rated at 92/94)

We fit (and run) 165/50/15 XL which have a greater rating than smart car tyres (not by much) but never had an issue with them
