Tyres advice sought

[Wrighpm]

Hi I have a Burstner Nexxo Family 660. Based on Ford transit mk7 (2008).
The tyres are pretty old Continental Contact 100's Size is 215/75/R16. They spin when pulling away on a slope on damp roads.
I have two questions I need help with....
1. If travelling in summer months to the continent do I still need Alpine rated all season tyres?
2. Is there a budget option that anyone can recommend to replace these tyres?

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Answer to both questions is: NO.
I can recommend Michelin Agilis Cross-Climate (215/75/R16 fitted a few years ago to the front wheels on my Hobby on a Transit Mk7 and will have them on all four wheels when the rears are replaced.

I've recently put those on the front of our 6m pvc Kev, nice and quiet compared to the contis that came off. Very pleased with them.

I put my reg in and I wasn't offered ANY tyres at all!

just put in the size you want. I entered my required size - 225/70R15 - and got lots of choices.
