Been having trouble with tyre walls failing on continentals when I first bought the van felt like 4 flat tyres increased pressures to around 49lb and I felt the 103v load rating as no where near enough so fitted 4 crossclimate 235/60/17 106v I'm very impressed so for anyone considering tyres make the load rating 106v world of diffrence

Just wondering why you went for the 235/60r17. There are lots on here that fit that size, especially the swamper type wheels. I was going to fit 235/55r17 to my Davenports this year as I wasn't sure about insurance for non standard tyres.

The speedo reading will be affected using that tyre size. 30 mph on the Speedo will be a road speed of 31.02 mph, 70 mph equates to 72.38. Some vehicles can have the speedo recalibrated for different tyre sizes, don’t know if the Cali can.
