Sorry for another tyre thread, but i would like some info on the wear and drivability of the above tyre before i decide between them and the agilis camper, my front two need changing.
any info would be appreciated.

I thought the Vancos were fine for normal use on my Benimar/Fiat, but I thought the Agilis gave better mud/snow grip.

Don't know whether these are the same Vancos I had fitted to a Murvi some years back, but found the ride rather hard & noisy.

Hello there,

I have driven a Panel van with Vanco 2 tyres and found them excellent all round. However, looking at the new Michelin Camper M+S tyres they do seem like a better but much more expensive alternative.

Why not look at the Bridgestone R630 tyres? not as expensive but a far better all round tyre than the above.

What base vehicle are you fitting the tyres to?

I have Vanco tyres but NOT the Vanco Camper. I think the earlier posts may be referring to the standard Vanco as the Camper version has not been around that long. The recent Continental line-up has been, in order of age, Vanco (marked Vanco 8 on the tyre wall), now replaced by Vanco 2. Vanco CP (or camper) are different again.

I have Vanco 8 on the back and Vanco 2 on the front. The older pattern V8 has a more pronounced block tread and the newer V2 has more water drainage sypes. I think it is a quieter tyre too. I'm happy with them.

I use Vanco tyres (not camper ones). I have found them fine during 4 years of use and cheaper than camping tyres.

Another vote for Vanco (non camper) tyres. Very pleased with them after two years, and find them quieter and slightly softer riding than Michelin Camping. I remember they came top in a test run by a German magazine, which is what persuaded me to fit them in the first place. That was a while ago, though, so others may have caught up or overtaken them.

Decisions, decisions!
