Motorhome tyres

[Michael67]

Hi everyone looking for advice on tyres for my motorhome michelin crossclimate or michelin camper and feed back would be appreciated

I'd avoid using the search function and just go with what the manufacturer fitted and the pressures they give in the manual.

as dunnah01 or you will get a vast amount of advice , some conflicting , as no definitive answer too many variables open to personal interpretation , if you have a bit of spare time you could do a search on forum

Hi

I have run large fleets of vans and had four motorhomes.

With the exception of our first motorhome, I have run the last three on Michelin Agils Alpin Winter. I also run a Mercedes Sprinter on Michelin Alpin Winters too. Swear by them, never get stuck in snow, brilliant on mud, in rain and summer use.

I run an Audi A3 on Michelin Cross Climate 2/ They are okay in snow. But no match for a true winter.

Second choice for Motorhome would be Toyo H09. No longer made as they are now the new Model Toyo "observe"

Hi. I’ve just been through the same process for a set of new front tyres. The van had Michelin Campers all round, but I wanted something a little more aggressive and suitable for possible winter mud and snow. To cut the long story short, Michelin Cross Climate is the answer. Tests and reviews are amazing. Almost as good as a summer tyre and also virtually the same as a true winter tyre. I hesitated slightly as I thought they might be a bit noisier because of the larger more blocky thread, but after a return trip this weekend from Cheshire to Holyhead, I can confirm they are no noises than the Campers.
I looked around for best price and finally opted for Black Circles on the drive. Since they are owned by Michelin, it’s hard to beat.
Thoroughly recommend Cross Climates, especially if you plan to travel abroad where summer tyres are not permitted in the colder months.
Hope my hours of research is helpful and saves you some time.

michelin agilis camper tyres are rated M+S so shouldn't need to change to winter tyres on the continent. Not tried them in snow yet though.

You will find that M+S are not the same rating as 3PMSF (3 peak mountain snow flake) and will not be allowed where snow tyres are required.

3PMSF tyres are really just a second set - to run them all year and still have 4mm + left for winter is an ambitious goal

A three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol branded on a tire's sidewall indicates the tyre meets required performance criteria in snow testing to be considered severe snow service-rated. So, I figured this is a better solution than the M+S alternative. If you look at the tread pattern, there’s clearly big difference between these tyres with the 3 PMSF looking the most aggressive and able to ‘bite‘ into the surface.
As far as wear is concerned, long term tests suggest little difference between the two, but let’s see. They are on the van now and the first 200 miles covered. I’ll let you know.
