    Hi guys.
    What tyres you running on your vans please?

    Something I need to look into as my rear ones have pretty cracked sidewalls.

    I always find that round black one's seem to work best!!:rolleyes:
     
  3. Recently bought some called General - apparently similar to Continental - and C rated were about £65 each fitted

    That does really depend on the size of the hole in the middle. I mean, going on what your saying, my push bike tyres are ok to use?

    They got good grip for fields?
     
  6. Where do you get those round black ones?

    Ah! So that's where I was going wrong! Wondered why I was getting such a bumpy ride but I liked the colour so much.

    Falken Linum Van01's for me.

    Use them on both buses, not too expensive, correct load rating and they drive great in the wet or dry.

    Was thinking more ‘snow tyre’ type grip. Won’t be on the roads, too much, but snow tyres seem to grip good in damp fields. Also, was thinking of going oversized.

    Go for the cheapest poss, because if you don't use it to much , it's a waste .

    If you're still selling it, don't go oddball as it will put possible buyers off.
    There are a lot on here who still like to rough it / wild camp, but in reality I think buyers will want a bus that looks relatively normal.
    If it's a keeper, do whatever you like.

    Yes. I won’t be spending much on them, as I can’t warrant it’s use. It is handy as a second work van on occasion, when mine has to go in for service or something. We don’t really do the camping thing much now, tbh, but I have promised my youngest to take him , when he’s feeling better.

    Yes, they look like snow tyre tread. I have similar on my transit.

    If he really enjoy's it ...you'l be busy .
     
  20. Conserve your money and buy the cheaper tyres as suggested and remember above all observe social distancing where you get the tyres done or get tyre fitters to do them on your driveway as one of my neighbours did on his car.
