Hi all,
I've read through as many threads as I could find about switching out the default set of wheels from the MYP for smaller diameter wheels and I keep getting caught on the lower load ratings for 18" wheels, with some exceptions, such as the MW03s. Many people here have opted for 750kg rated wheels, and I do see that it works for most normal loads. However, I'm installing both a roof rack as well as a tow hitch on my MYP and every year I go camping with the car loaded up to max cargo capacity. I put a decently sized roof box on top, and will be attaching a couple of bikes to the hitch.
For those MYP owners who have a similar load, have you found that 750kg rated wheels and tires is sufficient? My second plan is to buy a set of Geminis, since their load rating is excellent.
