I have a 2010 XTR with 215\55\16 tyres. I have my winter tyres off my old 2004 Multispace which were 185\65\15. The wheel and tyre combo will fit the XTR but are not as tall when you put them side by side obviously, will this effect the gearing and speedo reading because of the different size ratio or will it make hardly any difference ?

Remember to check load capasity also. I used Xsara's winter tyres on Picasso and had to put 3 bar pressure that they where drivable.

Pressures seem to make a big difference with the berlingo. Had mine a week now and TBH I wasn't impressed with the handling, seemed very vague, to the point I was thinking the tracking was out or I had a ball joint away!
Checked the pressures when I filled her up today, 30 all round, upped them to the recommended pressures and was amazed at the difference in ride, Very stable now. Berlingo pressures seem quite high compared to other cars Ive had, probably down to the van base?
