    Just cross check the van weight along with the usual payload you carry to the load ratings of your tyre, and keep the tire pressure in check to ensure that the low pro tyres keep up.

    Hahaha! Trade offs.

    Our GS is not really meant for heavy loading -- mostly it's for me, the wife, 2 young kids and 2 yayas -- so proper inflation on the low profile tires have been doing the trick.

    Have taken it to Dinalupihan in Bataan and San Juan in Batangas with my usual passengers + 2 more adults and gear. Will revert back to stock for an upcoming Baguio trip para sure.
