Hi, we have a VW T5 campervan and it needs new tyres. We have OE suspension and Davenport 17" alloys.Â
We do lots of singletrack and farmer-field camping, so would like a tyre that's maybe all-season or at least, OK with rough roads and occasional wet field. Albeit, most of the miles are on standard roads. Plus, I'd like something a little larger for simple appearances!
Seen lots of vans in the Alps with Michelin Cross Climates (I think) so a chunky version seems like a good way to go?
Any tyre recos that are van weight/load OK and critically, what's the max size I can go up to on my current rims without any rubbing?
Cheers
P.S. I'm pretty up with motorbike tyres, but found searching around van tyres a minefield!
We have Michelin Agilis Cross Climates on our motorhome. Served us well from muddy race days to Alps trips
And to add, current tyres are Continental Van Contact Eco 215 60 17 (and we haven't yet got stuck in a muddy field!)
Im about to put two new ones on our t5.1...
I too have had a couple of muddy fields. We almost exclusively drive rural Scottish ( and Irish) roads. I've not yet found current Goodyear Cargo's wanting. I've not got stuck. They've had no damage.
IMO, I am going the 99.9% use case.
So road tyres.
