Van Tyres

Posted by Jim Davidson on June 4, 2015 at 7:52pm in Vehicles

Anyone no anything about tyres?

I normally go for new, budget tyres from the local fitters for my Transit. Cost about £80 each but feels like they don't last long at all.

Any advice welcome

    I use contin vanco four seasons 2 on the front. On the back a low rolling resistance good wet braking. My current tyres are all m&s rated and you could feel they were more grippy in the wet and cold!

    Pirelli or Michelin for me every time a lot more money but last much longer. Like everything you get what you pay for.
    I would have thought you could get decent tyres for 100-120 each for a transit

      Vanco fourseasons would be about £110 for a transit! The movano has much bigger tyres and they were only £120!

    Continental vanco former too, 25k miles on my transit and still plenty of tread! Budget are not a cheap option

    My neighbour runs a courier business so very high mileage.  I was shocked when he told me that he used part worn tyres.  He is convinced & wouldn't revert back.  He gets, what are referred to as grade A & they have a lot of tread. They are usually top makes & cost around 30% of the new cost.
