Very good explanation. One suggested addition would be the effect a taller tire has on axle ratio. Would apply more to 33” to 35” tires.

Good information on positive versus negative offset, always confuses me. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.

Glad to help

just a comment on the aspect ratio: it is the height of the sidewall, expressed as a percentage of tire width. for example, a tire with an aspect ratio of 55 has a sidewall that is 55% as high as the tire is wide. theoretically, a very wide tire can have taller sidewall with a lower aspect ratio number than a narrower tire has with a higher number.

excellent explanation. I leaned that a good quality set of stock tires will be prefect for my use, and probably for 90% of all Sprinter Van usage. Since most of the driving is on highways and city streets, most of these vans with KO2 tires and similar off-road tires are not only not required, but are the wrong tire for typical usage.

Thanks so much. This wheel video answered so many of my questions and some I didn't ever know to ask! I have watched several of your video's and plan to look for others they are so Helpful! If you would like a suggestion for another video, it would be one on installing and programing the Nations aux. alternator with the Wadespeed regulator. Thanks

Rim is the outer band on a multi piece wheel. Wheel is the entire tire mounting assembly.

You indicated that the factory tire pressure recommendations were for regular tires. What are your tire pressure recommendations for tires such as the BF Goodrich KO2s for daily normal road use?

The same range is fine 70 rear/52 front.

Excellent video as usual, thank you! I have a heavier build, not exactly sure what the final weight will be yet but probably in the 11k lbs range. Most of which is in the rear. You talked about this in regards to the rim but not as much with the tires. Do you have a list of tires you would recommend? I have a 2022, 4X4 170 ext. Thanks!

An A/T tire with Loan Range E will work.

Would I be able to use the factory spare tire holder under the van if I get 265/70 R17. And will that size mess with my computer that monitors tire pressure, speedometer, millage ect

In my own experience on trucks at least, mud terrain tires (like KM3) have horrible stopping distances. I wouldn't put them on such a heavy van build. I have KO2 on my Revel and are great on and off road.

Hi, this is a great video, very well presented and very informative. I guess fitting larger tyres will affect actual road speed vs speedometer reading? In your experience will 265/70 R17 tyres cause the speedometer to read slower than actual road speed? Thanks.

Been looking at Method Beadlock Wheels... Should I be looking elsewhere?

Great explanation and overview about Sprinter tires. I have a 2020 Sprinter chassis on a Revel. Would I have to do any wheel well modifications for 265/70/ R17 tires? If so, how large could you go without any modifications? Thank you!

Yes you always need to do the Mondo Mudguard upgrade which isn’t too big of a deal. Unless you keep the 16” rim, you will need to do this mod. Also the rear mudflap mod is recommended but not required.
