Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

General Grabber AT3 255-55-18 Volkswagen Crafter 20,000 miles September 6, 2026

Very happy with my Grabbers good grip and wear, being an AT tyre. I was worried about road noise but pleasantly surprised on how quiet they were
Running them on my VWT5 on now on my New Crafter
Definitely recommend them

Hifly Super2000 205-75-16- Volkswagen Crafter 20,000 miles January 16, 2020
Hilly super 2000 on my motorhome, absolutely junk, unsafe, separating and forming lumps, and blow without warning. Loadrating of 1000 kg but nowhere near that. Do yourself a favour and buy a proper manufactured tyre like bridgestone it Michelin if you don't want to jeopardize your safety!!!

Nexen Roadian CT8 235-65-16- Volkswagen Crafter 20 miles November 24, 2018
Nexen Roadian CT8 are the tyres I bought instead of previous Infinity tyres, which were horrible.
CT8 are actually great choice for the price, I will most probably buy them again. Two seasons done perfect with them, I believe around 30.000 km.

Pirelli Chrono Winter 235-65-16- Volkswagen Crafter 2,000 miles March 19, 2017
Ok, I have a VW Crafter and had Infinity tyres before these ones. Those were horrible. Dangerous even on dry, not to mention wet, mud or snow - on snow I would rather rent another van and leave my own at home.
Anyway, I was looking for a cheap way out to buy tyres because this van is not the primary vehicle of mine. Hence, found these Pirelli Chrono Winter at half price because 6 years old DOT, but new ones: were stored at good conditions in the seller's storage.
Never had better tyres. They grip on mud, wet, dry, snow, ice, they look great, are quiet, lowered fuel consumption, and I can't really think of one complaint. I've put this van back in business. Highly recommended tyres. I'm hooked to Pirelli now.

Infinity INF100 235-65-16- Volkswagen Crafter 20 miles January 31, 2017
Well, they were cheap. We had some other Infinity tyres on another van and were pretty pleased by them. These tyres on a VW Crafter van were not good. The van is very light at the rear when empty and with these tyres I could make a drift. Good thing we are good drivers, me and my bro. Maybe they work better on some smaller or heavier van.
