Read quite a few posts about people seriously considering these. If anyone could give me some feedback on what they think of them I'd be most grateful. I'm reluctant to go down the Michelin route having read more negative views than positive, I guess other option might be the Continental Van Contact 4Season.

I am just about to push the button on 5 of these - the van is currently on Continental Vanco Campers and two of them are showing cracking at 3.5 years old …..
Plus yet another puncture - across my cars my 6th in 7 months ….
Excuse the state of the wheel I was on a muddy scout camp this week …
I should say I have just put Falken all seasons on my runaround / daughter car - Nissan Micra and they seem great on that ….

6 punctures in 7 months!
I would be getting suspicious or finding some other surfaces to drive over?
Let us know how you get on with the Falkens?

Yes - my neighbour has the worlds longest extension build - and we share access, and he and his builders do not always tidy up - but can improve it - no.6 punctures in 7 months!

Jsut asked them to tidy up and check my drive , but easy to miss a screw.
Or I could just be unlucky …..

Need new tyres on my Chausson, currently have Michelin 225/75R16CP116 (@80psi). Can I change these to Falken Van11 225/75R16 121/120R. My understanding is that the increased load rating should be fine, maybe even preferable as we run on 3500kg. However, am I worrying unnecessarily about losing the CP rating, which means designed for heavy commercial vans and motorhomes?

CP rating means they have "stronger" sidewalls. Most people who have changed to the Falkens seem very pleased with them and generally at lower pressure than the Michelins

I've changed to these recently as well. £540 at Mitcheldever. Can't fault them.

No need to worry, as the CP rating only applies to Campers/MHs, ie, expected to stand in storage for several months of the year.
You won't see a heavily laden commercial van with CP tyres on, but more likely quality commercial tyres which are C rated, and upon closer inspection are most likely to have the same number of plies to the tread and sidewalls, especially if they have a high load and speed rating. Both our MHs left the factory on quality commercial van tyres, and not on CP rated tyres.
HTH,
Jock.

thats a really good price, ive just been quoted at £194 per tyre fitted etc !! or perhaps its an average price and i'm having my hat nailed on where i enquired !
update - just phoned around and i can get them done locally for £640 aswell .... its Protyres - which is the same group as the garage at Micheldever - i thought id just search around to see where my local Protyres place is and they have 180 branches !!
let your fingers do the walking, as they used to say in the olden days of phone books and yellow pages LOL

Yes really good price - I was just going to get my puncture fixed and then buy some next couple of months to replace all 5.

Three years ago our van came with Continental Vanco campers all round, changed the front ones last year at 24K miles for Continental 4 season, rears have now done 34K and still have 1/2 their tread with no sign of sidewall cracking, the front give better grip in the snow ( we live in NE Scotland so necessary!!).
