The Ultimate Guide to Understanding your Sprinter Van Wheels and Tires 

Thank you brother we appreciate you more than you'll ever know!❤❤❤

Excellent video! Especially for the newbie - I really appreciate the detail and the careful explanation. Thank you!

Awesome content! Thanks for your hard work

Good information on positive versus negative offset, always confuses me. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming.

Very good explanation. One suggested addition would be the effect a taller tire has on axle ratio. Would apply more to 33” to 35” tires.

Great vId and excellent info.

excellent explanation. I leaned that a good quality set of stock tires will be prefect for my use, and probably for 90% of all Sprinter Van usage. Since most of the driving is on highways and city streets, most of these vans with KO2 tires and similar off-road tires are not only not required, but are the wrong tire for typical usage.

Excellent video! So informative - thank you!

Good Job! You need our aluminum elevating roofs in your offer!

This is the best explained info review that I've seen so far. What would be the tallest / widest rim that would fit on Sprinter 2500 with Hwy tires that will probably not get off-roading ?!

Great clearly explained questions.

THanks for a great video!

i am running 255/85-16 on black rhino stadium rims on my 2015 4x4 sprinter presently at 130K the only problem so far is cupping if tires are not rotated every 3 or 4 k , also with bigger tires than recommended the tire manufacture provided me with a calculating graph to lower tire pressure when increasing tire size this so far has gotten rid of the cupping on the new set of tires. i am on my 4th set of tires 3 sets of 255/85-16 toyo M55 i am presently trying out the Cooper S/t maxx 255/85-16 any suggestions? great informational video.

just a comment on the aspect ratio: it is the height of the sidewall, expressed as a percentage of tire width. for example, a tire with an aspect ratio of 55 has a sidewall that is 55% as high as the tire is wide. theoretically, a very wide tire can have taller sidewall with a lower aspect ratio number than a narrower tire has with a higher number.

Rim is the outer band on a multi piece wheel. Wheel is the entire tire mounting assembly.

Oustanding explanation

I currently have the 245/70R17 KO2’s on Method 701’s that came on my 2021 Revel. Can I upgrade to your recommended 265/70R17’s without messing up the ECU,speed control and safety features or enlarging my wheel wells? I have 50k on the van and currently looking to replace my tires. I really like this video and it was really well done. Thanks for all the work you put into it.

Excellent video as usual, thank you! I have a heavier build, not exactly sure what the final weight will be yet but probably in the 11k lbs range. Most of which is in the rear. You talked about this in regards to the rim but not as much with the tires. Do you have a list of tires you would recommend? I have a 2022, 4X4 170 ext. Thanks!

I have a 04 lwb tn1 daully...at some stage i would like to just upgrade the 6 tyres to a light off-road tyres

In my own experience on trucks at least, mud terrain tires (like KM3) have horrible stopping distances. I wouldn't put them on such a heavy van build. I have KO2 on my Revel and are great on and off road.

You indicated that the factory tire pressure recommendations were for regular tires. What are your tire pressure recommendations for tires such as the BF Goodrich KO2s for daily normal road use?

Great explanation and overview about Sprinter tires. I have a 2020 Sprinter chassis on a Revel. Would I have to do any wheel well modifications for 265/70/ R17 tires? If so, how large could you go without any modifications? Thank you!

hi, subscribed to your channel. cool apparently. Question, bought a new Sprinter 2500 AWD. I want to change the wheels to Black Rhino 1680ARS386130D84 16X8 6X130 D-Sand-BLK 38MM Arsenal install original all-season tires, I can't find the right bolts, I see you have bolts for 17" wheels, I can install them on 16" wheels

Been looking at Method Beadlock Wheels... Should I be looking elsewhere?

Would I be able to use the factory spare tire holder under the van if I get 265/70 R17. And will that size mess with my computer that monitors tire pressure, speedometer, millage ect

👌🏻

Nice vid. Was there a lift on the van.

Thanks so much. This wheel video answered so many of my questions and some I didn't ever know to ask! I have watched several of your video's and plan to look for others they are so Helpful! If you would like a suggestion for another video, it would be one on installing and programing the Nations aux. alternator with the Wadespeed regulator. Thanks

Not everyone considers 16 to 17 an upgrade 😉

3500xd dually is original can fit 265/70/R17 if no need cut mod？

Can you adjust the speedometer for the larger tire sizes?

Hi, this is a great video, very well presented and very informative. I guess fitting larger tyres will affect actual road speed vs speedometer reading? In your experience will 265/70 R17 tyres cause the speedometer to read slower than actual road speed? Thanks.
