I had a pair of 14" Vredestein Transport Snows (185R14) and another pair of the same that were studded. When summer hit the front unstudded pair went on the rear, the studded pair got put away and one of the two new pair of Michelin Agelis I had went on the front. I purchased 4 Michelin Agelis, then before one winter got a killer deal on the studded Vredesteins - put then on and liked them so well I got another unstudded pair for the front. These are MUCH better handling tires than the agelis, and with gobs more grip - I'd run 4 year round (If I hadn't already shelled out the big $$ for the Michelins). The Vredesteins were rated to take the camper's weight and have a wickedly tough sidewall. Did a bit of off-roading when summers hit so I could find stealth campgrounds - never got stuck. Anyway, that's my 2cents and I've had nothing but great luck purchasing from that fish guy at Bus Despot! ;~) All for now! Tom |
