Mate, i would try to steer clear of the budget brands if i were you as the tyres are the most important part imho and in the wet and bad weather conditions the majority are just all over the place and stopping distances are just ridiculous.

If you don't want to spend a fortune the Kumho Le Sport KU39 is a great tyre for the money and is the only A rated tyre for wet traction unless you spend double the money.

My advice would be to check out some independent tyre reviews before you buy.

Cheers, Zed.

Avon zz3 has good rim protection

Again my ns20s have never let me down. Wet, snow, dry, ice all fine

Lets be honest its a van not a track car. Not even a fast car lol.

I use my van all day every day doing 500 miles a week so wouldnt use them if I didnt trust them.

And at 75 a corner are a bargain

i can get you a decent price and it would be at cost..

i run budget tyres on the van purely because the camber wear ruins them..
