[QUOTE="uber cool, post: 136123, member: 6242"] Oh, here's a hot topic. :shock: Implications of incorrect tyres taken to the letter are that you are not insured! Its a van and hence must have commerically rated tyres. 86 are car tyres, so apart form being not insured they will have increased body roll on corning as the side walls are not reinforced. Its not just the static load to consider, it cornering forces etc. That's why I cringe when folk use smart car tyres on a van. Having said that I used to run these on my old van. However now how low profile 185.65.15 extra reinforced, which arent commerical but better than car tyres. So I would guess even i'm not covered if an insurance company did not want to pay out.
