Tyre upgrade

I have the General Grabber AT2’s that are wide & heavy rubber so less bulge. Check these in your size if they have them-

increasing the width to 265 from 215 will mean you'd have to reduce the aspect ratio to more like 55% otherwise the speedo will be way out.

but surely the payload is the payload what ever tyres are fitted .... 🤷‍♂️

Hi Norman ,I’m afraid your options on 15” tyres are very limited,what is the load rating on your tyres ,I suspect the load rating on most of the 15” commercial tyres is the same so even if you did manage to find another alternative you wouldn’t gain any benefit.When I get into work tomorrow I will have a look and get back to you..But my advice to you is stay o that size . Thinking about it you could possibly go to 225/70R15 but I will check tomorrow if the load rating is greater and there would be a benefit to you.But be aware that even if the load rating was slightly higher it would not permit you to carry more weight.

Ref.Rocky2 comment , the General AT2 is a 4x4 tyre and is no way suitable for your Vechicle, he is talking about a towcar and your Vechicle is a Motorhome .

BJ-I have an Isuzu DMax(4x4) pick up, my comment was what I(me) has not what N16 should get👍🏻. I can well understand now why a lot of folk refuse to offer help, there are way too many nit pickers🤷🏻‍♂️☹️

Wow I’m not even going to respond to that

 🤔🤔

Brian & Jo know what they are talking about! You could also look to SV Tech because they will know what your chassis can take.

I uprated my Hymer 504 through SV Tech to 3850kg without changing tyres but the axle plates remained at 2000kg front and rear. I had Goldschmitt semi air suspension on the rear.

Hymer advised me that my alloy wheels would not take 225/70R15 tyres and I would need to replace the wheels. New wheels would still only mean a max of 3,850kg but the rear axle would be greater than 2000kg.

Of course, if you go above 3,500 kg max, you need a C1 licence entitlement, you have to inform the DVSA so your 'log book' is updated and have a new plate attached to the vehicle (SV Tech help you sort out both these), and inform your insurers (my premiums did not go up).

Was it worth it? Not really. It ensured I did not break the law by about 100kgs when I was carrying two batteries, a full water tank, and/or second passenger. We did this for a couple of years but now we are back to using sites, one passenger, 30l of water when travelling, and thus under 3,500kg. I will down plate before I reach 70.

How does that help the original poster if they are not suitable for motorhomes? It's surely  not nit picking to point that out?

I cannot agree with you in this case R2B. BJ was just clarifying a point.
