I had all new tyres all round today,
I used to have Landsail tyres on the Elgrand but found they rolled about with the weight of the car, so I fitted these this time, commercial van tyres 215 60R 17C.
You know, she is a new girl on these. Feels more sturdy and can't believe how quiet they are too.
I know they are cheapish tyres but done a few miles today and I'm impressed with these tyres.

Take care everyone.

Useful to know - I had thought commercial/van tyres might be more appropriate given an Elgrand's size/weight - last longer but not as good dynamically?. I also thought van tyres might be noisy. What make/brand are they?
 
many years ago I had Michelin van tyres fitted on my VW T25 as Costco said they wouldn't fit non commercial on it. They gave a harsh, noisy ride compared with whatever came off, so I hope they have improved...

My local independent tyre place who everyone in the area uses has always recommended van tyres for my Elgrand. Great mileage from them as well.
 
Any downsides with van tyres? Ride quality or noise?
