Hi i wanted to know if a 91 load rating would be enough to put on the front of my t3, 1.6 d bus as most weight is up the back and have 100 load rated tyres on there, any advice? the reason for this is cannot find any 195-50-16 or 195-65-16 in a higher spec, with i would need to fit in front arches. cheers martin.

I just typed 195 65 16 into google and came up with
this
Perhaps you didn't look hard enough

No idea if they're any good or not but I was just intrigued.....

That makes a difference then
195 60 16 is still smaller than the standard 185R14 though, is that extra few mm that crucial, as there's plenty of them about. Good luck

Simple answer...no.
91 load rated tyres are only good for 615kgs each so even though you'll probably never have that much weight in...should you have an accident your claim would be up the spout as 1230kgs is less than the maximum weight!
If you're needing low profile tyres so the alloys fit inside the arches I'd say the offset of the alloys is too low?
