T4 Axle Weights
Choosing suitable tyres for the T4 that comply with United Kingdom and increasingly standardized Worldwide "Construction and Use" regulations can be problematic, especially when choosing tyres for non standard and oversized wheels.
The following reference guide summarizes the maximum permitted axle weight for each vehicle "group" in the T4 range...
T4a pre facelift - from August 1990 (M) to December 1995 (T) model years
Van and Window Van - nee Kombi (including Kombi based Campmobiles / lwb Eurovan Full Camper)
front axle weight
Van (including 1200 lwb Eurovan Full Camper)
front axle weight
front axle weight
Please note that VW guidelines to specialist coachbuilders allow for a +/- of 40kg on either corner; i.e an axle weight of 1500kg can be 750kg/750kg or 710kg/790kg so long as the overall weight remains at 1500kg.
