I agree, my issue which I haven't made very clear, is people spending many tens of thousands on a T6 then trying to save a hundred quid on the four bits of rubber that could save their life. I never consider price when buying tyres, if I was bothered I'd have bought a cheaper van instead.

I'd be looking at something like these in your position, 235 55 17 is fitted by VW and gives the same rolling radius, mine came on continentals from new and I couldn't wait to get them off.

I’m my also interested in the difference between contivan contact 200 and contivan eco .. I’m not sure which the supplier that I quoted was referring to but I showed him what I already had and asked for the same which are contivan contact 200 .
A quick google search shows the contivan eco are a little less expensive … so will be interesting to see which ones I’ve been quoted £146 for

I see, fair play. I don’t go the cheapest or the most expensive but what I do object to is paying more than I need to for the same product.
A few hundred here and there all adds up. Cornish blood I guess.
On the back of this thread… Nitrogen/air in tyres…last few time I’ve brought tyres I had Nitrogen put in….but that requires visits to my tyre dealer for free top ups…However I’ve always checked the vehicles levels/tyres prior to long journeys and towing in the past and so felt uneasy about trusting the tyres to stay at the correct pressure using Nitrogen….with the environment changing and extremes of weather we all now need to live with…is my faith misplaced…my guts say go back to the old system …Check and go back to air only… any thoughts
They are your only contact with the road….!
I’m old school….air please!
If you drive a Formula 1 car it's definitely worth it. Otherwise........
It's a good way to keep you going back to the same depot while they put a squirt of air in your tyre and tell you it's nitrogen.
When I was offered the same I told them that the air in my tyres is 78% Nitrogen anyway.
I run 78% nitrogen most days like everybody else
Why is it that we can remember that from school??? I can't remember much else though!
Didn’t want to hear this ….
Maybe the contivans have a more durable compound than the 103 rated or are they the same.. it's a minefield out there for tyres
