Hi has anyboby used Falken van tyres on there camper? if so what are like .

Got a pair of Falken on the front wheels and they are fine. I'll have a look at the loading index but I think they are well in excess of the requirement. Wet grip is certainly very good.

Cheers

Mine are Falken Linam Van01 215/75R 16C , 114/116.

I used a trusted small, local tyre fitters . Another reason for going with them was the wet grip and noise ratings and I replaced all four on the car for the same reasons. Both the van and the car are noticeably quieter and give good wet grip. I do drive like fuel is really expensive though …

When fitting New tyres do you have the metal stem HP valves fitted ?

 

[winks]

In my case just new cores in the existing bodies. No sign of corrosion so I thought that was fair enough.

After having 2 out of 4 burst during 1 trip after only 3 yrs I had all the rubber ones replaced with metal stemmed pull in ones in Portugal. First one burst driving thru France second while sitting outside the van at Manta Rota next day all replaced

H, what's the maximum inflation pressure on those tyres please ?

 

[winks]

Did look at that when I fitted them but can’t remember. Is it on the tyre wall? I run mine at 65psi all round, Hobby tag axle.

Cheers

Yes it is, i run my rears at 80 psi because the weight upgrade all went on the rear axle.
Drives well and tyres wear even across the tread.
