Can any one recommend a good mid range tyre 215 75 R16 C camping. Our all six of our original tyres have side wall cracking but only done 7000 miles . We do not want Micheline again. The recommendation of replacing them every five years to me does not warrant top price brand name. One of our parts suppliers recommended us Avon reinforced ones but we do not know what these are like. There are some fairly cheap brands on the market, Nakang, Hankook ,Falkern which make tyres for vans. We cannot find any reviews for use as camping tyres even though they come up as suitable for camping/van.

I went for Toyo H08 which is a summer tyre but having rear wheel drive it does not present a problem. - I am pleased with them. For better grip there is the H09 which classed as a winter tyre

The above is only a personal opinion
I went to a good local tyre specialist who does loads of business and has a good reputation and in August 2008 he considered the van (Transit rwd base) the weight and likely mileage and recommended NEXEN CP321 8 PLY TUBELESS and fitted 4 for a total coat of £292.34.
He was fitting a lot to 'white vans' at the time and 'promised' that they would 'age-out' before they 'wore out'. He also recommended 50psi front and 60psi rear pressures. The tyre have been brilliant, ride well, hold pressure unbelievably well and show little signs of wear after 18,000 miles.
Why not go and have a chat with a local tyre fitter you can trust, he may well be fitting lots of vans with a current 'great value tyre' nobody has heard of - its worth a try and it worked for me in2008
Here are some more tyres I looked up for a friend on MHF Yesterday, same size. He is looking to replace his Michelin XC's with Michelins so you will find them listed too. The XC's were a very poor tyre in my opinion.
Here are some other tyres I have found in your size
* From experience, Event will not want to lift (jack up) anything above 3500kG's. Despite having two air jacks on board, Event Mobile Vans are not equipped to Balance tyres and wheels with large hubs (larger wheel centres). So if you have a twin rear wheel Mercedes/Iveco/Ford/Renault or Similar, not a chance. Event could not even get our Van into there Trafford Depot. If you have an RV, you are deffo out!
