Tyre Choice for Estate (Load Rating)

Post by jerryfudd »

Hi,

This is my first time buying tyres for an estate and I mainly got the car to haul camping gear once a year and the car is maxed out in the boot, 4 people, dog and a roof box - potentially a trailer also(!). I'm thinking I should be going for the heavier load rated tyres (95) - does that seem over kill or sensible?

I'm not likely to load up the car and take it to a weigh bridge, but equally have no idea how much stress the tyres are taking.

Looking at the Michelin CrossClimate+ 205/60 R15 V (95).....

Dan
