Time to crawl under and see what the spare is I suppose.

Did you check the size of the spare Nev?

There must be many Triton owners on here with circa 2006 vans. As you said in your opening post, it would be useful to compare the sizes with others.

I managed to get the spare out of the carrier (and what a bloody game that is)

So now I'm totally lost

Main tyres are 165 R13 91/89R ................load 580Kg speed 106Mph

Spare tyre is 185/70 R13 86T ...................load 530Kg speed 118 Mph

So is 165 R13 even the same size as 185/70 R13 ???????????????

Confused fed up peed off Now what?

When in doubt read the manual Which incidentally is all in Dutch (the perils of running an import)

Anyway it seems the spare is indeed original and the book quotes

For Triton 430 1000 Kg axle 185/70 R13
For Triton 430 1200 Kg axle 195/70 R14

For future reference some charts I "borrowed" from some website or other (I forget which)

If I were you I'd replace all three with 165R13C with a load rating between 88 and 94 and a minimum speed rating of P.

There'll be loads like that.

Late to the party but my 2001 Troll Dutch import is also fitted with 165 R 13 C 95/92, which date from 2007. The van is away in storage so cant pop out to look at the spare which I recall is an original supplied with the van. Like Hob, I'm in the market for new tyres at the moment and have been confused by the selection available that match that size. There are a range at different prices and I have no idea what to base any judgement on. After all, all they do is go round and round, cover, in reality, very few miles before they 'age out' so is there any reason to buy anything other than a budget tyre?

I'd be interested in any real experiences of that...

My reasoning is I buy the best quality I can afford, my biggest concern is to get not only the size but the load rating (how much weight each tyre can legally support) and to a lesser extent the speed rating (UK speed limit 60Mph abroad to 80Mph)

And all 3 the same.

Still not got any yet

There's a range here..
