Bongo Fury

I have bridgestone rv 215 55 r17 does this sound right for the bongo??

no ideas on tyres!!

also do they still do these?

just got a price!!! 98w(which iam told is van rated) are 161 quid!!!!!!! omg

Hi
I get tyres from this guy:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Tyre-Depot ... =416822389
I only use 15" as the roads are bad here, and tyres are dear...including post, it's still cheaper than buying here.
Maybe a local dealer can supply the same tyres...

From £50 here,

but you'll need to pay about £10-15 per tyre to get them fitted and balanced.

Still a lot less than £160 though.

£62 fitted here

Feed in width-215, profile-55, wheel size-17 & 96 for load index

I am running 225/55/17's 101W XL tyres..... all fine and supplied by Wheelquick... Will pm you the details as a local Tyre company could get them.....if you have a "Just Tyres" I know they stock them....

They also offerd me,toyo 215 55 r17 98w for 120 fitted...i have alloys that have loads of allen keys to undo to get on the balence machine,last time it took 1.5 hours tochange 4 tyre valves!

is the above the correct rating??

Hi
Crikey....that's a lot for fitting!!!!!!...tyres might be dear here, but fit and balance is around 3 quid!!!!

The toyo were mid range pirelli top range they can do a budget but iam not keen..

tbh they will curse me when they start to do this!! these wheels are a pain to work on.They took ages last time..

is 98w ok?

another place quoted 228 fitted for maxus..but never heard of them?

I've never bought them....but I buy the cheapest...roads are bad here....I must get some photos up soon...Even off-road lorries don't drive on them...they (******) up tyres like nobody's business...most people locally drive on the fields rather than the roads

That is a bargain for four quality tyres.....I'd rip their arm off at that price....

Ha ha the 161 was perilli and that was EACH!!!!

prices each so far

budget sunny,or zetec 64

mid range toyo 120

top end 161 pereili

but my mate who is normally is captain safety said he uses budget on his t4 vw van..

looking at some of the reviews on sunny tyres say not good on wet and as bongo is rwd maybe not a good idea.

our front ones are road legal at the moment but expect them to be old..rated 93v so not really good enough for bongo.

may just put new rear ones on to get through mot

Hi
Type 4 isn't a Bongo...Sunnys work fine on mine...wet, snow, dry...and if I get too many punctures, chucking them isn't a loss
