Load rating for Viano tyres

[James Ireland]

Hi. I have a W639 Viano from new. I have noticed in the last few years that the front tyres don't last very well. Always wearing on the inside. Its not the tracking or air pressure. But I think its some issue with the bushings or springs. I now need new tyres again after just 15k. I think most people are getting much more out of theirs. Can anyone tell me what the standard load rating should be for these tyres? I have always been using 101W XL but I have a feeling that when the car was new, it came with possibly 97H. Thanks in advance.

I would think 97 would be too low. My Caravelle had 103’s on.
Lots of owners fit aftermarket car wheels and tyres that aren’t up to the job required by a van.
You’re manual / fuel filler cap should have the tyre size and rating

From new I cannot remember, but I am religious about things being 'right' so would have checked ratings last time tyres were changed; they are 101V.

The handbook will give detail.
Summer and all season 103 / 101T
Winter tyres 107 / 105T

But please confirm.
