Trying to find some tyres today
But all the part worn boys only have 97 load rating
Would I get really really done if I slipped a pair of those on instead of 101s?
Or perhaps I could melt the 97 off with a hot knife and write 101 in its place :?

What's the load index on the van? 18s yes van is a 290 swb?

97 is 730kg x2 gives 1460kg /axle +10% so 1500kgs /axle to be safe ish.

What axle weights does your van show?

Not really possible to do anything wrong. The fittings were already in place on the floor. I trimmed the mats as required and the fittings clipped in fine. However the fixings on the passenger side move around a lot even though we're factory fitted. Also the drivers mat almost seems too wide.

You sure you weren't given mk7 mats?
I have cheap eBay 1 piece carpet and it fits perfect with the 4 clips it locks.
