all-round tyre recommendations.

[surfbus78]

hi all,

i am after 2 new tyres for my bongo, i'd prefer M+S but intend to run them all year round so want something that can deal with snow, are M+S okay to use all year round.

the van currently has 215/65R15 100H's all round with the 2 at the back marked M+S and they have good tread so i'll swap them to the front and put 2 new ones on the back, just need a recommendation for something suitable for all year round. anyone got a good recommendation. cost doesn't matter but i don't want to pay too much.

cheers in advance

M & S tyres, good one that,lol, a lot of us use acceleras, damn good tyres and at my local place £40.00 a tyre fully fitted, good luck.

lol, very droll!!

better not make any jokes about the label in my wifes knickers...ouch!!

the acceleras sound good, i will get a quote from my local stockist, any particular model of tyre i should ask for in order to get a winter style tyre.

cheers in advance

Do you want a winter "style" tyre or do want a proper winter tyre the will still grip properly at low temperatures?

M+S tyres are only tyres with a chunky tread they don't necessarily have the right rubber to work well at low temps.

I (and several others) use Vredestien Quatrac tyres - either Quatrac 2 or 3's - and find them excellent all year tyres that are at their best in cold wet slippy conditions.

These are some of the winter tyres available in standard Bongo size

That's 'cos we have more winter than summer in the UK, at least here winter tyres are better for more of the year than "summer" tyres.

Scanner, I don't know what I'd do without your knowledge of geography or meteorology
