Davanti Tyres - Unsupported on/for Motorhomes? (1 Viewer)

[RowleyBirkinQC]

Anyone here contemplating Davanti tyres on their Motorhome, as I was, or been advised that Davanti tyres are suitable for their Motorhome? If so, you may wish to be aware of the following caveat published by Davanti via a link on their commercial tyre offerings…

See ‘Improper use of Davanti on motorhomes’ link on their commercial tyre pages, per
following DX440 example…

The same link is present on the following Davanti tyres which I’ve looked at…

Interesting I wonder if the same applies to all van tyres, we was going to replace our tyres this year, but our mechanic who services our motorhome said our manufactured 2016 Michelin Agilis Camping tyres are OK legal and no cracks for another year 79000 k ( he is a motorhome owner ) and only used the new spare and added another new one at that time.

So was thinking 5 tyres next year, and because we don't do winters buying van with the same rating 225 / 75 / 16R 120/ 121. Bob.

Thanks for posting this. This gives me a major problem I've had these fitted on the front of my motorhome as I wasn't made aware by the garage fitting them.

But it also does just seem to be davanti who are saying this check out avon tyres web site.

 

[Bobby dazzler]

Doesn't just

 

[Just smiffy]

It’s because they know motorhomes can sit around for some time and the tyres start cracking…..

Yeah I get that but what does that mean improper use? How do they define that could any manufacturer claim that. Can of worms springs to mind especially insurance claims

 

[Bobby dazzler]

I mean could a insurance claim get thrown out cause they say oh you had tyres on that the manufacturer doesn't recommend for your vehicle

 

[meanders]

I have Davanti's on all round, and that warning did not exist then plus they were recommended by tyre experts. It is a worry though.

 

[Bobby dazzler]

Yes exactly I was not informed by the garage that there was no warranty. I will be seeking advise.

The Camper Tyre Lovers will relish in this one.

You don't need camper tyres. Make sure you avoid Davanti Tyres.

Is AVON, also a UK based head office that only manufactures in china too ?

 

[Chris]

If that was sarcastic, then I am sorry but those are my thoughts - avoid Chinese tyres.

Just ‘cos he doesn’t like foreign stuff doesn’t mean he’s wrong in this case..,

I would avoid Avon tyres anyway put the on my car just had to change them after two years all 4 cracking between the treads.

 

[Carpmart]

So I’m confused now…

What tires should I fit??

Black ones.

 

[Gaston aires]

I fitted Davanti to our Burstner and they simply weren’t up to it. After letters and inspection by their own independent inspectors they paid me the cost and the replacement cost of all tyres fitted before small claims court action.
Do not fit them to motorhomes.

I suppose the moral of the story is research all tyres. Make sure there's no caveat on there Web site.

Oh dear I better change my less than one year old tyres on your advice, not.

He’s a lawyer, he must know what he’s talking about.

It appears to me that there are a good many high quality well represented Tyres and Manufacturers but at a cost, why do people look at the price first and the quality second.

Black ones.

And round ones, with a hole in the middle, like a giant polo.

Well I suppose you have answered your own question price I suppose when a product is branded as mid range it's kind of misleading. And it all depends how much cash in the bank u have

 

[Bobby dazzler]

Thanks to the original poster for bring this to light I will help alot of people I am sure

Most quality branded tyres are made in china

Michelin - Shanghai, Shenyang
Dunlop/GoodYear/Continental - Sumito brands with various plants in China
Bridgestone - Shenyang
Pirelli - Yanzhou and Shenzhou factories

Well a well respected member here posted a review of various tyres a few years back and the Divantis gave the best ride and were the quietest IIRC. Others said similar about the Toyo' but they were unavailable at the time anywhere near here. I then spoke to the well respected independent tyre fitting company who do a lot of work with auto events etc..I looked at the Divantis website before ordering and having fitted at the same independent tyre place. So mine were far from the cheapest on offer, and indeed were less than a tenner each from Continental CP's and came twice recommended. I have previously had both Continental CP and Michelin's as fitted new to two vans. Both harsh and noisy rides, and the latter were appalling on grass, even when very firm but with some morning dew.

I think a little less of the holier than thou and slightly more research is called for before jumping to unfounded conclusions and criticism of other peoples motives and decisions please.

As for a good many alternatives, please share. I think there are about a handful maximum of CP rated tyres but am more than ready to be educated.
