Welcome to our website Van Tyres. Here you will find a wealth of information about Van Tyres, which ones are the best and which provide the best value for money. With a massive range of suppliers selling Van Tyres it often difficult to make a decision on which tyre is right for your van.
There a number of important factors to take into consideration when selected a tyre. For instance, are you likely to be driving the van in snow and should you choose to buy Winter Van Tyres or are you fortunate enough not to have this problem. You should also consider the amount of weight your van is likely to be carrying and can you tyre handle the required PSI.
Economical Van Tyres
Economical Tyres or Budget Tyres are always the cheapest and can be found as little as $40 per tyre. Many people believe that these Van Tyres are a false economy and you get more mileage from more expensive tyre manufacturers such as Michelin.
Surveys have also shown that economical van tyres offer less performance than higher priced alternatives and even have an increased breaking distance in rain or gravel surfaces, which should be taken into consideration.
Premium Van Tyres
If your budget is not so limited then it is definitely worth investing in Premium Van Tyres, that offer more durability, better performance and peace of mind to their owner and these are often recommended by the garage.
Some manufacturers who offer these van tyres are Michelin, Pirelli and GoodYear. But prices can range anything upto $500 per tyre if your van has large wheels.
Part-worn and Second Hand Tyres
There are many companies that specialise in part-worn van tyres, which are usually taken off other vans during their annual service and maintenance at the dealership. Great deals can be found with these, and premium tyres are sometime available at a fraction of the price.
However, a prospective buyer of these van tyres should be very cautious and thoroughly check the tyres before fitting them. Firstly you should check that the tread remaining on the tyre is legal in your county. Another important thing to look for is bubbles on the tyre wall as this may indicate that the van has hit something, which would significantly increase the chance of the tyre exploding at high speed.
