Right, my tyres are 5 years old, they came with the van. They're half worn all round as I've rotated them a couple of times. They're the usual 16 inch camping motorhome specific tyres & haven't overwhelmed me with their peformance.
My main gripes are the harsh ride, even at the correct pressures & zero grip on anything other than tarmac. My main use is in Scotland & never during the winter. So they'll never see any snow.
So I'd like something with a bit more grip & more compliant on the road. Can I use a suitably rated van tyre. I'd also like to be well within the load rating for weight. I've got approx 2.2 tonnes on the rear & 1.8 on the fron max, fully loaded.
Advice, ideas & experiences all gratefully received.
I can only suggest you try out the forum Search facility, which Nuke is making easier to use as I type.
Quite a few members have contacted tyre companies with various queries, and it might be worth checking which of the companies responded quickly and with useful information . . . if they responded at all?
Then you would at least know which ones might be best to contact with your query.
and see what options come up for commercial tyres. It's difficult to say whether grip will be better or not but I would look at reputable makes like Avon or Continental etc.
I went for Toyo H09 215/75 16C 113 R, which should be delivered (C.O.D.) on Mon 13th.

I have the Toyo H09s and have been delighted with them. I would say that they possibly do wear slightly quicker but I can't see that being a problem with our lowish mileage. Grip on wet grass etc greatly improved and they are brilliant on snow and ice!
