I used to run Michelin Agilis. These are not quite as grippy in the wet or dry. However they are perfectly good and wearing better than the Michelins used too for half the price. I will definitely buy these again as they are great value for money. If you drive your work van like a racing driver these tyres might not be for you though.

Driver’s 2nd review
  • Reviewed on: 04/04/2025

Overall i would say the tyres are very good, the only down side being loss of traction in the wet when trying to pull away quicker than normal. For example when pulling out into a gap in traffic, the wheels can spin quite easily! Wet braking on the other hand has always been great, on the odd occasion where a sharp stop for whatever reason was necessary, the ABS has never had to get involved :-)

Overall they perform very well, the only niggle is occasional wheelspin in the wet when pulling away to the left or right. I'd expect that with older tyres, not so much when they have maximum tread depth.

Very pleased with these tyres, which have performed well previously, particularly as the motorhome is stationary for a few weeks between trips away. I would recommend them for this type of vehicle.

They are ok. It’s a van. You don’t expect super cornering on a van they spin a bit in the wet

Feel confident with these tyres fitted on motorhome. Vehicle feels planted and road noise from tyres is very acceptable, this was a concern as the vans acoustics are not the best to begin with.

Softer ride, a lot quieter in the motorhome. The Continental tyres were a hard ride, often difficult to here what was being said. Vast improvement on the old tyres.
