Hi folks
To run with my super singles, I need to have my chassis weight plate changed to reflect the reduction in rear axle load rating due to the fitment of 137-rated tyres. This is done through the DVSA, who are the governing body here in the UK regarding heavy goods vehicles. They require that I 'obtain written confirmation from the vehicle manufacturers Homologation department that the alternative Wheel/tyre combination you are proposing is covered by a Type Approval' so that they can proceed with my application. My choice of wheel/tyre is the 265/70-17.5 (really my only choice here in the UK without resorting to expensive importing), which is much closer to OEM size than the popular 285/70-19.5 or 37x12.5-17. Surely for the likes of Australia's strict ADR and Germany's TUV to approve those combos, the approval from Mitsubishi must already have been sought?
Any help or direction as to how I can successfully obtain the required information will be greatly appreciated - I do not want to have to go back to 205/75 duals.
Thanks, Brad
