Do Lidl or Aldi not do tyres? ?

 

[movan]

Do any dealers give MHF discount on tyres does anyone know? If so, then that dealer could prob give good advice too on type of tyre as well as being reasonably priced.

 

[HandyAndy]

Best at what though?
Best price
Best wet weather grip
Best rolling resistance
Best looking
Best lasting
Best noise
?

I'll start off with a recommendation, Toyo H09, winter tyres, great grip, good wear,snowflake symbol, not to expensive.
cracking tyres. Keep on all year.

99% Agree

Unless you can get Michelin Agilis Alpin for the same or less money

We have 225 / 75 x 16 Vanco Camper tyres fitted to our Burstner at 3850 kg.
They seem to do everything they are designed to do and wear well.

You dont want your tyres cracking
Mine are Continental Vanco four seasons which were oem, replaced with the same after 5 years.

Too hard a ride for us and we also need/like ‘all season tyres, which we run all year round as a good ride and great grip even on grass

My experience of Vanco Camper tyres on the front driving wheels is not so good, ie, next to useless on wet grass, snow, and ice. Also, wheel slip is often experienced on surfaces with white lining paint when wet, eg, junctions and zebra crossings. I never experienced any of that when the MH was wearing Bridgestone Blizzak 3 x peak winter tyres.
I would expect the Continental Winter Contact tyres to give more favourable results, than their Camper tyres.

I am on the lookout for a pair myself to be fitted before winter, and have listed, Bridgestone (obviously), Toyo, Nokian, and Hankook, and am just waiting for a quote from my local supplier of many years.

Cheers,

Jock.

From experience the vanco four seasons have good grip in snow, even six inches of virgin snow. Haven't had any slippage on any surface, but do have the advantage of rear wheel drive.

Had these since last year, recommended by Continental when I enquired about going up a size from 215/70 15 to 225/70 15.
Will be replacing with the same when the time comes if that’s recommendation enough.

We had the Blizzaks Jock on the big Hymer rears, found them excellent on wet grass, snow, mud etc, good winter tyre.
The worst tyres we ever had were conti Vanco summer tyres. Absolute rubbish on every surface so at least they were consistently useless.
