Bought 1998 Transit Duetto 6 weeks ago from large dealer in Scotland. Very happy with everything except the tyres. Tyres are all 195R14C with good treads but they are a right mishmash. On the front are Camac 8ply 106/104N made in 2000. On the rear are nearside Vanco 6ply 102/100Q made in 1997 believed to be original tyre. Offside Hankook 8ply 106/104R 2006. Spare Vanco 8ply 106/104Q 2006. I had a problem being blown about in a crosswind.Tyre pressures in the manual were for maximum loading. I have reduced them and have yet to check if the problem is solved. I found that Continental recommend that tyres are scrapped after 10 years because sunlight etc. can effect the rubber. I think for peace of mind I will replace 4 tyres. I have asked dealer to make a contribution but am not holding my breath!!!!!
