They replaced the tyres after some to-ing and fro-ing, but countered with paperwork to show that the Connect is a Class 4 vehicle, and only Classes 5 and 7 are required to have correctly rated load index tyres for MOT purposes. I asked another MOT place to confirm this and it appears to be correct.
So, in short, you can legally have 91T rated tyres on a LWB Connect, and still be within the law..........the grey area being that you could be carrying weight within the limits of the vans capabilities, but not the tyres! And I don't yet know what would happen legally if that were shown to be the case.
Happy motoring!
