|
|
Hi,
I have just had some 30/9.5 15 tyres put on my standard Delica rims. The tyre shop didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with doing this, but I have read a few posts where it is mentioned that this is an illegal combination and my insurance would be void.
I have read on here that Lewis has run this set up and was hoping either he, or others, could shed some light regarding the legality and whether I need to go back to the tyre shop and change them for a different size?
Many Thanks! |

That size is not a problem!
Having just gone through three Mot's, with a set of Cooper STT's on - The latest being last Wednesday - and getting a Pass each time, I would have been advised by my very strict Mot Tester.
On which posts does it say that it is an illegal combination ? _________________

Hi Lewis, really appreciate your response, I think i read that it was something to do with the standard Delica rims being 6 inches and the 30/9.5 15 Tyres should be on a rim with a minimum 6.5 inches, I’ll see if I can find the post I saw. Having said that, it looks like you are right as I contacted Adrian Flux this morning and they didn’t seem to have an issue with it! |

Hi Lewis, I haven’t been a member long enough to post links, but the thread is called ‘L400 Rims and Tyre 30/9.5xR15’ posted by ‘wernerber’ and the comment is the last one on the page. |

Not only can I not find the post; I can't even find that username in the members list ? _________________

Well it certainly helps when the right website is given. I don't go on that Deliclub website. I've enough on with MDOCUK.
HOWEVER:
That's Australia - This is the UK.
Different countries have different laws.
What happens down there doesn't affect us, unless it comes in a bottle or a can. _________________

Well, that's quite embarrassing! I didn't realise it was an Australian site! Thanks for your help though and at least I can sleep easy knowing I'm not driving around with no insurance! |

Some fit 31x10.50x15 tyres which could cause that problem _________________ 2nd gear low and go go go!

My L300 has 15" x 7J (7") wheels, with 265/70/15 tyres (10.5" wide) My very strict MoT tester has never commented on them. Original L300 wheels are 6J; are L400 not wider? _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |

Amazing how a 2+ year old post starts up again after somebody says Cheers! _________________
