    My sympathies for having to drive a Japanese van. VW rules.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    Last van had Supercats, they did well but then it was a non-turbo small engine diesel. Van before that had 5 different tyres from 4 different companies (from memory) couldn't tell you the brands/models now

    A mate of a mate has a new VW van. I'd aspire to that if I had money to burn. He does, partner accountant or summit. But I'd rather spend the money on bikes.

    If yer talking a Kombi, well, I wouldn't know where to start, but sympathy would have to overrule ridicule.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Hankook RA14 do very well, the Supercats I have on the LWB Hicube Transit are up to 18k and still have about 9mm on, it doesn't get thrashed but hauls a bit of a load

    Since there is a thread (and for my curiosity), which tyre would people recommend:

    AWD ZX Hiace, mostly on road, but occasionally rough stuff (not thick mud) like trails because of mountain biking? Is there a good road tyre (especially in the wet) that is also a little more useful in gravel/etc. Wouldn't mind sacrificing a little life for better grip.

    Volkswagen translated = people's car, I find that mildly amusing. My van is named after Karl Benz's daughter.

    It's a lot easier to recommend something if people put the fucking size of the tyres up
