Commercial tyres are rated for carrying weight they have thicker sidewalls, so was wondering if all terrains are strong enough? mind you i dont carry much weight just my tools really

the tyres would need to be rated to the weight carrying capacity of the van, regardless of what weight the van is carrying

As long as the tyres were marked LT (Light Truck), then you should be fine.

Well they get fitted to 130's which must be a good 2 ton+ before ay load / towing.
I really couldn't see it being as issue?

The 130 has a MGW of 3500kg, the same as almost all Transits, so as long as they are rated for the correct load, they are legal.

Used to have an old Tranny with Town and Country tyres on the rear.
With a bit of weight in the back, it was amazing where that thing would go off road.

agree trew, had an old V4 ex london transport swb side loading door van
that too had T & Countries on the back, used it for mobile mechanics for a time & used it as a tow vehicle for me bangers and stock cars,
and some of the track pits were "the pits" too - tyres dragged us all up through it all too.

Most transits and I fact most light goods vans are only rated to 3200kgs, they really are not made for heavy weight just bulk...

yer vans aren't meant to carry really heavy loads, thats what trucks are for I cant see why you would have a problem. Good 4x4 tyres generally have a good sidewall and carcass to withstand off road use.
