I know there are lots of discussions already on ramps but I couldn't find the answers! I have 2 questions:
(1) If we buy short ramps (as they take up much less room in the boot) will we also eliminate the potential damage that could be caused by accidently driving over the top? I gather that if the longer ones flip up in this situation they would damage the van. We're looking at the Fiamma level pro level ups. I can imagine that the risk of going over the top is greater with a shorter, steeper ramp (especially with DSG gearbox as there is a bit less control than if holding on the clutch).
(2) When I look at the Fiamma ramps the instructions indicate that tyres must not be wider than the ramps (and indeed should be 10 mm shorter on either side). We've ordered all season 235/55 tyres, so I think this means they are 23.5 cm wide and the Fiamma pro short ramp is only 17 cm wide. On the other hand, even the larger ramps look like they would be 20 or 21 cm. What do other people do and is this really a problem?
