No - early radials

 

Brown trousers time!,,

 

New tires all round..Went with the Continental Contivan 1 We’ll see how these hold up. Sanded the wheels down and paint them up as well

 

Wow, looks scary! Glad you're ok and great looking wheel.

 

How are you liking the Conti Vancontacts? I am in the market for new tires and they seem to be the only option in Canada for our 14" rims.

 

And a spare and a jack.

 

no issues and decent handling,,, so much play in everything, steering etc. so hard to tell . But even wear and no defects. So far ... and haven’t drove the bus in a few months for winter.etc

 

I rate them highly
Running a set of conti vanco contact 2, since 2014 with no issues (touch wood)
Mine are 15" wheels, so the best weight rating I could get were 92T RF (RF = reinforced)
185 65 R15 92T RF

92T is load rated for 630kg (plenty enough for me and i've been on a weigh bridge fully loaded to check)

I previously had Conti car tyres on my van with a 88T rating.
They were fine for 10 years, until I learned more about correct weight/load ratings on here and changed them for more suitable tyres for the vehicle
