Re: What load rating needed?

GVW is 2500 Kgs.  Not quite sure about Load rating, can you elaborate?

I hope the attachment answers your query.

Cheers,

the unladen weight of a stock swb diesel is 1935kg rising to 2055 for the lwb. The 280 is 10kg heavier for each category, whilst the ge230 only available in swb in the UK  is 1880kg.

Re: What load rating needed?

Thanks for replies
I should have looked at vin plate first!
It would  seem my 460 is 2600k (1200 front -1400 rear )unladen  and 2800 laden- is that what they call "kerb weight"?
Therefore tyres I need must have load rating of 700k-which is about 96 on..
205 seems small and current 31"s are too tall for tow bar to sit right-I bought a used adjustable type but still think it wil be too high for trailer to sit level-so will get somewhere between 215-255 x16" with 96+ load rating
Again thanks for replies
