Get the offsets right and you'll be right.

I have no respect for Tempe tyres... except cheap prices.... just don't let them fit the tyres.

Btw, can anyone answer the original question pls!
OK.. report in summary
Talked to the RTA and they basically said, follow the ADR.
Called up Customer service in Melb... they understand the issue but don't have a solution.. go call up HBD in Adelaide.
Call up HBD, and they don't have an answer and if they were to refer it to the engineer that they'd say that whoever has given the information about the load index is wrong and that their product meets the standard.
But I am still in limbo in some legal mumbo jumbo at the end of the day.
hey there~!
I was stuck with the same problem when i was trying to fit 16" convertible alloys to my CD sedan. So I was a bit hesitant on fitting 87Vs on them, but finally ended up fitting Yokohama S306 205/50/16 with a load rating of 91V. As far as I can tell they are the right size and also the right load rating so would hopefully keep the insurance people happy! Only down side is that the grip on these things aint to exactly crash hot....but better to be safe then sorry.
And your rite....holden are no help on the matter, best advice they offered me was to order another placard from the CDX models which never eventuated now about 6 months later. And even if i did get it, they said changing it was at my own risk and they were not gonna be responsible for any future problems.
Yeah.. S306.. not exactly world turning rubber... and I refuse to use Silverstone FTZ in 215/50R16 90V... I might as well run Grand Rally S than that shit.
How much was the S306 anyway?
Btw, I have already changed the placard on the car... not that it makes it legal....
Sorry it's taken a while to get my information to you Smelly.
I'm driving a 2002 build MY03 CD 5 door; tyre placard states 195/60 R15 88H, which is what is on the car at present.
I'll be following this conversation with interest. Sounds like Holden's/Opel may have pulled another clanger! Hope no one here suffers because of it.
Ian.
Yeah....choices are pretty limited but whan can ya do when u have a stuffed up load rating? But if i recall correctly, I think i got mine fitted and blanced for about 170 each at bob janes and then like 30 bucks more for nitro.
Just happy that insurance wont be up my ass in the event that i have a crash
