The tyres won’t be exclusive to THQ.
Just wanted to add some input if you’re running low with a t30 I find 225/40/20 on a 8.5” is perfect for stretch and low vans and are almost the exact same rolling diameter as standard highline wheels within 1mm and load rated to 101 it isn’t the best brand tyre but I’ve had no issues at all with them on both my 20” wheels
I think I’ve read pretty much every blooming tyre thread but still gonna ask… current set up on my T32 4motion is 275/40/20 on 8.5 wide rims (inherited with the van, not my choice!). Some minor rub on full lock.
Considering 245/45/20 which are only 0.5mm bigger in diameter but obviously a lot narrower. Good move? Bad move?
Any recommendations for tyres in this size? I’ve seen some Pirelli all seasons with just a 69db noise rating for about £180. Goodyear Eagles a better bet at £200?
Seems next best option is 265/40/20. So a bit more clearance on both height and width. Is that a better bet?! Help! @BognorMotors you guys seems to know your tyres…

Good move. 245/45/20 on the front make the steering much easier, handle better, and you’ll notice that the van pulls away more easily. On my 8.5 on the front they sit very nicely with exactly the same overhang as the 275/40/20 do on the rear. They looked silly before with the 275 on the front.
Mine is also a 4Mo and that pairing front to rear keeps the circumference within a few mm.
Also, no more rubbing on full lock.
I've just moved to 245/45 from 275/40 on 8.5 front rims and the steering feels so much better. Have staggered wheels so 10" on the rear so decided to keep the tyres matched with Uniroyal rinsport 5. only difference is the load rating. the 245's are 103 rather than the 106 on the 275's but again going over pot holes or speed humps it also feels better, not as bouncy! when you change and drive you'll know what I mean
It’s stupid to ignore load rating, the load rating dictates the tyres sizes available to you.
Have you ever thought of adopting a less confrontational approach @MK2Golf24v? Most people don't respond well to being called stupid.
Wasn’t going to ignore it, I just wondered what size 20” tyre was closest to sportline size tyres. In my opinion some of the load rated tyres are too big.
Google Will they fit website , 255/35/20 is the closest I recall to the 18” sportline alloys
Thanks, I have used that before but figured rather than trying loads of different sizes someone might have the knowledge already.
Sorry have a T5 but interested in all T’s especially wheels tyres and suspension. Currently running 20x9 Navis Twin ET 42, lowered 100mm on Solows with 255/40 Front and 265/40 rear, no issues at all. Would need 255/35 or 245/40 on front if I went lower.
I didn’t say they were but thq told me they won’t just sell tyres on their own, without alloys .
