ss ute wheel load

[Manticore]

Hey there folks, I just got back from local tyre shop really pissed off, the thing is I have gotten a wheel and tyre package that i have been waiting for 6 months now and thats a whole other drama, but the tyre fella wont put them on cause of the 95 load rating, doing a half arsed search for tyres seems that 100 is near on impossible to get.
Am I going to be uninsured if i put these wheels on my self, any advice appreciated ty.

new wheels are 20's-245 front 275 rears 35 an 30 profile
old 1s where 19s

If your vehicle does not comply with ALL ADR's (Australian Design Rules) that existed for your vehicle at the time of manufacture, then YES your vehicle will likely be illegal and therefore unroadworthy. No insurance company will touch you. Good luck.

What is on your tyre placard?

The tyre fella wouldn't put them on, because he didn't want to be held accountable for making your car unroadworthy, therefore uninsured.....If you put them on, you will be unroadworthy and uninsured.

continentials I believe are the right load rating for your ute

Says 100 for 19 inch wheels, but the guy at ian diffen morley said he definitely cant fit what i have, my mate tells me that utes need a bigger load rating than the sedans but even so these couldn't work for a sedan too apparently.

Generally utes have a higher load rating, because they are designed to carry more weight.....That being said, check with dealership (preferably one that deals with HSV'S) and find out what load and brand tyres the Maloo's run......This will help you in getting the correct load rated tyres

Spot on.......I'd suggest the OP try and get hold of one of these placards and fit it, so if he needs to make any insurance claims, or the local constabulary wish to query the load of the tyres, he has the placard to prove he is all legal
