No longer will there be any worry that the van tyre, Agilis CrossClimate, might deform after a month or two parked up over winter.

I think thats the current camping tyre and not this new one.
Having looked at the michelin website and the downloadable .pdf it seems the common 225/75/16 wont be out till summer 2022..
and says its A rated..

Trying to catch up with Continental they have had a 4 season camping tyre for about a year.

"To develop the new MICHELIN CrossClimate Camping tires, the engineers from the R&D center in Ladoux have worked on a problem unique to motorhomes: users who do not drive much, leaving their vehicle parked up for long periods. In fact, when the motorhome remains without moving for a long time, the tires can become deformed under the weight of the vehicle,"

That probably means a rock hard ride again, best avoided then, I'll stick with my winter tyres.
