Recommend me some tyres

Recommended Posts

My Berlingo is needing new tyres (just coming up to 30k now). 

 

It seems that my desire to have modest off-road ability (so an 80:20 road/offroad A/T tyre) and all season capability is unusual. Very few A/T tyres seem to be all season rated, and I like cold weather grip. 

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. My tyre size is 215/65/r16

 

Thanks in advance :D

If bfgoodrich all terrains are available in that size (or similar, you might be able to jam other sizes under the arches even if you have to buy smaller/larger rims) then they are excellent for your requirements, and last seemingly forever (60k miles plus on everything I’ve nailed them to). 
Stick the proposed specs into this to see if it’s worth changing sizes (but make sure a smaller wheel will clear any brake calipers etc and the offset is correct for your van if changing rim size) -

I wasn't overly impressed with the BF Goodrichs I had on my Navara 10 years ago. They seemed a little skittish in the rain and snow. I agree that they lasted forever though - I got 75k out of mine. It was extraordinary 😲

 

I have the offroad/grip control pack on the Berlingo, so a bit more ground cleareance than standard. I think A/T tyres should be OK.

The new ones with the more aggressive sidewall seem better (KO2 I think) - they must have changed the compound. The earlier ones were rock hard but lethal on wet roads!
