Max Speed Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Michelin Agelis Camper Tyres or Continental Vanco Camper tyres, has any one used both over time and have a positive reccommendation, I have always used Michelin's ,however some positive comments re Continentals look encouraging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billggski Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The camping Michelin's are M&S rated, this doesn't seem make much difference on mud or wet grass, but they have worn much quicker than the Vanco camper tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my experience of Michelins, they quickly wear and don’t give, IMO, as good a ride as Continentals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Speed Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 The miches I have on at the moment seem to have worn down quickly to 3.0mm on front after only 22k miles ,mind the RV is front wheel drive and 3.0 litre grunt the rears are the same as swapped front to back some time back. I think I'll give Continentals a shot this time Thanks Guys Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve928 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 A quick Google search shows that about 50% of posters on the subject find the Michelins much quieter than the Contis while the other 50% find the Contis much quieter than the Michelins :-D Which I suppose means that they're about the same and that most of the reduction in road noise came from fitting new tyres to replace old and worn ones.

Billggski Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 ........and possibly the pressure they are inflated to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Pirelli also markets a ‘camping-car’ tyre - the “Carrier Camper” pattern. Whether it’s any better than the Continental or Michelin equivalents is anybody’s guess, but it is an alternative. Unless tyre-pressures above (say) 65psi are being used, there’s the option to use ‘commercial-vehicle’ tyres that might offer improved grip on poor surfaces and would probably be less expensive. For example, a Hankook Vantra RA18 215/75 R16C 10PR tyre should be obtainable for around £85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deffheads Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hi, If cost is not a problem, I would stick with Conti/ Michelin/ Pirelli certainly on the front, assuming your front wheel drive, but for the rear commercial van tyres as they are much cheaper and only follow the front.

Max Speed Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Have gone down the Conti route this time so 4 orderd from Mytyres, local mobile fitter here does a great job so will use him for the change over. Tend to run pressure at 65 psi all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to assume that braking performance and grip of CP-marked tyres are something special, whereas the 2013 “Promobi” comparative test indicated the opposite.
