Hi Guys
I have a set of Audi alloys which are running on 205/55/16. I want to change tyres to something a bit more reinforced. It seems 215/60/16 come with a better of load ratings, are these a suitable size or are there any other recommendations.

Thanks Kev
Also seen some T25's running on 215/65/16, 4x4 tyres, they look pretty good prices and even bigger weigh bearing walls.

I'm looking for something similar.
I have GM 16" 7j rims with 225/50 tyres. I'm looking for a 4x4 tyre for the rear (fedup getting stuck in fields esp Santa pod) and something suitable for the fronts. My speedo has a constant over read of 10% i.e. speedo reads 70mph but I'm doing 63, 40 is really 36.
I was thinking of using 215 70 16s?
My van's tyre plate states wheel size is 205/70r14 which is circ 2017mm
I have 225/50r16 which is circ 1985mm (-1.6%)
new size 215/70r16 is circ 2224mm (+10.2%)
Does this size work on my 7j rims?
Any suggestions for cheap off road tyres for pushing my van out of mud without defening?

Sorry forgot to ask if anyone knows of cheap purpose made 7mm spacers too.
