I have always bought pirelli or goodyear tyres for my cars because i find them really good but this is my first van, is it worth is for vans that don't do much motor way driving and mainly do small start stop trips Do you buy brand name tyres for you van or just the cheaper ones Thanks Paul
good commercial tyres...insurance companies wont insure otherwise
They should be van rated (not car rated) if you are driving a car derived van. Especially with the weight of water on board.As long as the tyres are UK legal fitted to MOT standard and within original manufacturers specs on size and strength (van rated) there should be no insurance issues.

Well I thought it went without saying that you fit commercial tyres to a commercial vehicle but obviously that's not the case.

With my Doblo I always get van rated due to payload.I'm not fussed about "performance" as much as wear.
