My 2 front Van tyres are looking like they need renewal , the van is currently Sorned and uninsured in my garden and MOT not due till Sept, so no rush, I currently have Continental Vanco tyres all round 215/ 70 / 15C , the C means commercial tyres I found out today, I have been running on them for six years now at 65 PSI,so they are up to the Job, they were new when I bought the van, we were in Portugal North for 2 months last year NOV DEC. and the roads were terrible in places so I believe that is what put the tracking out, anyway I have been to several tyre places today and also the local Garage that do my MOTs but none of them can do the tracking as their lift is not big enough except my MOT garage but they don't do tracking so he told me where they send vans for tracking and I called in there, good result they can supply and fit Continental Vanco tyres BUT Camper tyres for £120 each all in and the tracking is free to check but £30 if adjustment is needed so that seems OK to me, The tyres I have on the van now are available but only £5 cheaper so it makes sense to have the Camper tyres fitted, I enquired about the legality and MOT implications of 2 different tyres on the front axle and was assured that it is OK, So when we are out of Lock Down and can get mobile again I will put the van back on the road and get the tyres fitted , can't wait,,I was shopping around for the tyres today and all places tried varied in cost by about £10 , one place, National Tyres said if I bought on line with them and paid at the time and booked a fitting as well at a local Tyre Bay [National Tyres of course ] I would get them cheaper , so another consideration.
