Hi there,

Continental Vanco 2 lasted 44,000 miles.  They were on offer at the time I bought them (buy three get one free) so it was a no-brainer that turned out to be a very good choice.

Currently running on Firestones because they too had a deal on when I changed the Continental tyres.

Here's a useful site for you to check what is available for your van ...

... even if you end up buying and fitting them elsewhere.  Whistle1 Whistle1

Hope this helps. allthumbz

Best regards,

Tyre Recommendations Empty tires

Post by millenium falcon 2016-01-24, 20:12

Hello there.

Just before christmas I had to buy a new set of tires and I asked about the M/S type, I was told by a co-worker that the problem with the M/S type is after driving in summer the ashfelt is warm and the rubber used in the tires is of a softer mix thus loosing a few millimeters in the summer. This has a slight effect in "polishing" the surface of tread and causes sliding on corners and hard to get traction when going up slippery hills and slopes. I have used M/S on my van and I have been stuck many times but for how much snow england gets and how often I would NOT use summer tires anytime. Better to be safe than sorry. safe driving  up!
