Does the caddy need van rated tyres? It's not exactly a full on van like a transit is it?

Yes it will, due to the load etc plus insurance would take a dim view of tyres fitted that with not suitable for a commercial vehicle.

Be interesting to llok up the max laden weight of the caddy vs the passat estate etc. If it has pukka van rated tyre son it now though it would suggest it need them.

As long as you declared the mods the insurance wouldn't give a stuff. I ran my old T3 on merc rims with car tyres and this had to be declared when I insured it and they were fine. The tyres were not commercial tyres but they were the right load rating. There are plenty of road cars out there that will have the same max laden weight as the caddy, it's just if they run 15's or not as to whether tyres are easily available.

As for my old rims, they are NOT a Extra load rating tyre so were pushing the weight limit of my wagon as it was .
