Hi,


I've had 16 inch wheels on my van for a while now and I am getting around to
needing new rubber again. Just wondered what others that have the same are
running or have ran. This will be my fourth set, don't get too many miles on
these tires, there just not meant for heavy vehicles, as far as treadwear.
Here's what I've used in the past:


Nitto NT450 215/55/16 V - very responsive, good grip in wet and dry
Pirelli P4000 Super Touring 225/55/16 V - more cushy tire, not as
responsive, good dry grip, wet is average
Kumho Ecsta 225/50/16 V - very responsive, great dry grip, good wet grip


Joe
