Had the van for 3 years and still on the tyres the last owner fitted - T32 with load rated Davanti DX640 275/40/R20 all round. Rear curb-side has as a screw right on the shoulder so irreparable. Replace both rears or just the offending one? No Davanti dealers near me as I’d go like for like - any suggestions/offers worth knowing about? Cheers

CrossClimates? I’ve seen lots of commercials of various sizes with them fitted.

You can get a Davanti on line for £110 and then pay a local tyre place to fit (normally about £10).

Or are you looking to replace them all and want recommendations? Are you sticking with the 20inch rims? I run Avon AX7 in 235/55 R18 on my T6 which are 104 rated (Mine is a T30 but I think 104 is the minimum for a T32).

I’ve got them on my van, not sure they come in 20” though?

Also that sounds like a crazy size on a T6?!

db - def keeping the rims and only really looking to replace what I absolutely need to.
How do you find the Avon AX7 as they're a similar price to the Davanti when fitted?

Conti VancoContact, 215/70R15 is where it's at, surely.

You'd have a job stretching them over his 20" Gucci hoops. 😁

At that size I’d say go for whatever you can find as the choice is limited. Blackcircles have that size starting at £110 fitted but not Davanti.

I’ve just fitted new wheels to mine and wanted 255/35 r20 and there seem to be 2 options at best (the stretch on the rears would make most here split their sides with laughter….)

What does the van ride like on the 20's ? A lot of the fancy ones im looking at have them fitted.
How many miles in the last 3 years, and what is the tyre wear like ?
Cheers

@revs1972 20's is the look most people want, all the vans I do to sell go out on them. 275 40 20 is the most common tyre size. They ride ok, do tramline more and use more fuel.
