  7. I think the Michelin and Hankook have a good reputation, so do the Firestone Vanhawk which I chose.

    Never buy cheap tyres. Tyres and brakes are the most important items on your van.

    Compared with the high cost of our vans, tyres are not expensive.

    Fit the best.

    I bought some Goodyear van tyres for mine because they were the quietest I could find.
    Never worry about wear - the softer the better IMO as I've never met anyone who has worn through the tread before the side walls cracked with age. Understeer does that. :eek:

  14. Me too. Ive got Whoflungdung Ditchfinder Generals all round.

    I can go sideways into any corner with ease!
     
  15. No power oversteer?:p
     
  16. Had the Hankooks on mine for the last year. Really good.
     
  17. Booked in to Costco for the Michelins. I played one supplier off on another until I got formula 1 down to £69 ea fitted then Costco matched it this morning plus I'll get another £25 off in the form of a credit note for buying 4 that's £62 per corner for Michelins! I'm happy with that

  18. Our bus is on cheapo Runway's made in China. Handles like a donkey on roller skates in the wet, Hugh under steer at very modest speeds :eek:. Tyres will be changed as I complete a light resto over the next couple of months.
    £60 a corner for Michelin sounds ok :thumbsup:
     
  19. I roll michelins on my motorbikes . That companies improvements over the last ten years is unmatched , you pay for what you get ...
     
  20. Costco started at £75 ea! I just got one company after another to price match each other. Odd thing is the AA tyres wrote me a quote but didn't drop their website price so anyone else will still see the old price! Naughty AA!
    Tyres on the drive did the same! Tut tut.
    Formula 1 and Then Costco were instant.
    Costco are just holding their £25 offer at the mo!
