T5 Build

[Andrew123]

Thanks Ivo, Purchased yesterday. To use with Bmw X5 18 inch wheels. I am starting to look around for tyres. Does anyone have a suggestion for a semi-practical tyre(cost & kms). I have read a few tyre reviews but not many people running around with two tonnes plus on their tyres. Also looking at lowering Van with Elbach springs.(30mm) Still want to be able to tow and after standing wheels next to Van It looks like it will be a bit higher. No real problem with extra height but I am wanting to loose some of the lean in corners.

I run Yokahama ADVANS on my VW Savana 18 inch rims.
I got 60,000 KMS out of the last set. Expensive but high quality, load rated sport van tyres.

Ha.. That isn't stacked.

I've lost the shot from the back of the van but this is what the side door looked like.

There was 3 bikes in the van, full riding gear for 5 people including leathers, stands, some fuel cans, tyres, tool kits etc. It was loaded to the roof and there wasn't any room left. also had 3 bikes on a trailer! note careful insertion of bags!
