Anyone running them on their van ? I've got Avon AV11 at the moment that need replacing , the Hankooks get a better fuel and slightly lower noise rating .

We've got Hankook RA18 Vantra LT on our Transit camper. Excellent tyres for our use.
The reviews reckon they're as good as the Michelins that cost 30% more

45k is a lot less than 'forever' - There are examples of Bridgestone Duravis tyres lasting 100s of thousands of mile - this [url= http://www.ebay.com/gds/mercedes-sprinter-whats-the-difference-which-model-/10000000001511966/g.html ]article[/url] mentions a set that lasted 8 years and 350k and in the end they perished rather than wore out out 🙂

My local independent garage has been fitting Jinyu tyres for a year or so.

I was initially sceptical, thinking it was just a Ditchfinder General brand but no, the owner (and a friend for 30 years) has them on his S4 and allows his children to have them on their cars.

I let them stick a pair on the front of my Vivaro at last year's MOT and I haven't found them in the least untoward.
