You need to say the size of the tyres,not the size of the alloys.

Oh and if you've not read previous threads regarding BRM's......they have the wrong offset for T25's and aren't weight rated either.

Starting with your insurance being null & void, how many more problems do you want.... I'd be putting it right asap !

Don't be thinking about the tyre pressures...be thinking of changing the tyres immediately because as well as the alloys not being upto the job the tyres aren't either!
No doubt the wheels are from Midland Wheels and it's one of their regular feck-ups....wheels advertised for a T25 that have the wrong offset,aren't weight rated and then they fit them with car tyres! :roll:

185/60/15's are 55mm smaller than the standard T25 wheel/tyre set-up so they will alter your gearing and speedo reading....not to mention the fact they are only 88 load rated(560kgs) and fitted on a commercial vehicle so your insurance is definately void in the case of an accident!

If you're intent on keeping the wheels then give yourself a chance and fit 195/70/15C tyres....now!
