The four seasons 2 are totally suitable for your motorhome @Trout bum .Camper tyres are reinforced to withstand a lot of standing still, whereas van tyres are not.

Martin, just humour me! Why dont you keep the 4 seasons tyres on all year? Or are they not for the 4 seasons?Yes in my view as well Conti Vanco fourseasons2 are totally suitable for a motorhome, they are marked snowflake/mountain which is a better winter rating than just M+S BUT to answer the question NO they are not camper tyres if that matters!, some people say that the side walls are reinforced on camper tyres but I have a pair of Michelin campers M+S at 116 load rating and a set of Conti fourseasons2 in 121 load rating and there is no comparison in the sidewall rigidity (the Conti's win hands down) OK they are a higher load rating but 116 is as high as Michelin go in our size.

When we bought the van the tyres were already 6 years old, the guy that I use for tyres said "oh they are Michelin Agilis 81 so the carcase is good for a few more years but change the fronts this year if you want" so I bought the Michelin campers and put them on the front. Then we were at the N+B factory doing the tour and they were fitting the Conti Fourseasons2 to all the new Flairs and I thought "oh they look like a good tyre" and being fourseasons they made sense so I bought 6 when I got home. So you see we now have spare wheels so 8 tyres but only 6 places to put them hence the random swapping of the fronts to try to wear them all out.Martin, just humour me! Why dont you keep the 4 seasons tyres on all year? Or are they not for the 4 seasons?

If I hadn't already got the Michelin's I would just run the Conti fourseasons all year as the wear rate is good enough to last 5 or 6 years at about 8K per year, yes they are not campers but that doesn't bother me as our van was not originally fitted with camper tyres and they are fitting the Conti's in the N+B, Concorde and Morelo factories now, I guess partly because our their 121 load rating.Thanks Martin, i just thought, if you go skiing or winter travelling, would it be best to get the Conti 4 season and use them all year. Otherwise you would have 2 sets, like yourself.
The michelin camper are m&s, but are not so called winter tyres, but the conti 4 season are?
The Conti 4 season are not camper tyres, which seem to be the preferred option for many.
Nothing seems to be straight forward does it
Thanks Jerry
