I know the subject of tyres is a very personal choice, but thought I would ask for some guidance.
Have been up to see our new Van on the build line today at Consort, as they had an open day.
Our new van has been fitted with Continentals, which I had on our last van, and found them to be ok. Prior to that we had Michelin Camper tyres, which I hated! What a horrible ride compared to the Continentals.
Am thinking about getting some winter tyres fitted, as will be picking the Van up in December and plan to use it through the winter months.
My technical knowledge on tyres is zero, so would appreciate peoples views as follows
1. is it worth getting a set of winter tyres and then a set of summer tyres, and alternate them between winter and summer. As we plan to keep the Van long term, the additional initial outlay would balance itself out.
2. if the answer to one above is yes, what do people recommend? Is it worth comming away from Camper tyres and looking at correctly rated Van tyres?
3. Where do the Continentials fit in, ie, are they a good all round tyre?
i understand that there is not a right or wrong way to go, but value funsters experiences with different makes of tyres.
Many thanks.
