I’ve never had any issues with the four Michelin Agilis on my motor, Alan. Which is the only brand I use, so I can’t comment on other brands.

Canny go wrong with the Michelins.

 

[chrishunter]

Thoroughly recommend Michelins the van is 21 years old and i had Michelins fitted 16 years ago never had any problems.

 

[alwaysared]

+1 for Michelins

[Pudsey Bear]

Van every time for me.

Years back no one here would fit mitch tyres as known as skidwells, rubber way to hard.

Guess another for Michelin, although I will be sticking with BF Goodrich AT2's.

If I were to change, my choice would be either, BF Goodrich Trail-Terrain, Michelin Crossclimate Camping, or the commercial Michelin Agilis Crossclimate.
And as BF Goodrich are owned by Michelin, it's another for Michelin.

That's why they lasted so long but it was the same for Bridgestone on the early Jap bikes and now they are a premium tyre

I have the Trail Terrains not as noisy or fuel hungry as the AT2s

I would have to agree with that back in the 80’s Trev but I expect they have changed in the last 40 odd years

I remember Japanese bike tyres back in the 70's/80's Neil.

Say no more!

Michelin XC Camping say no more

Went over to commercial van tyres, they`ve been great and a fraction of the price

I still remember as if it was today, the day I fitted a pair of TT100’s on my bike back in 75/76 Rob. They were supposed to be the dogs danglies at the time. Jumped on bike outside the house with younger brother in law on pillion. Lots of people waiting at the bus stop opposite so I had to make it good. Loads of revs and dropped the clutch…

Bike didn’t go forwards one inch but shout sideways across the road with front wheel in the air. Inches before it hit the kerb and we collided with all the waiting bus passengers it bit and we were off forwards like a rocket.

Never did fit another set of them lol

I remember people arguing in the pub Neil about which were best TT100's or Avon Roadrunners.

They were definitely better than my Yokawackadoodles!

What ones did you get Wooie?

Prob round ones.

I just had these fitted today (225/75/16 BFGoodrich AT T/A KO2 All Terrain) on my Autotrail Apache front wheels, always had Continental Vanco Camper tyres up till now. Thought I’d try bought online from 4x4 tyres and paid for fitting locally. There was also a 5% discount code GIMME5 that I used, cost was £418 for two.
The tyre fitters did say that the best pressure was 50-60psi or otherwise they curve like a motorbike tyre if at 79psi like I ran the Continentals at.
Inflated them to 60psi and it was a smooth journey home

 

[Canalsman]

Prob round ones.

I think you mean circular...

Some wheelbarrows have round 'tyres'!
