Have you done a search on the forum. (Top right hand corner of screen)

There are lots and lots of previous posts on this topic which will easily inform your decision.

Hello, I believe there may be a couple [sic] of old threads that have huge amounts of information encompassing many arguments for and against just about every brand of tyre, in short there's no clear cut answer,but you'll be much the wiser about tyres when you've read a few.

Or none the wiser but better informed.

As said, use of the 'Search' facility will bring up chapter and verse on tyre choice.
Here's a bit of info from just one of many threads on the subject...........

Totally confused over which Michelin Crossclimates to get

Too many to choose from, Agilis Crossclimate, Crossclimate CP, Crossclimate+, Crossclimate2 and on , and on. Bailey Autograph 68-2, never used a site yet, all off grid. Existing tyres Agilis (6mm Front, 8mm Rear)

I think one conclusion re tyres on motorhomes was to buy the cheapest, replacing them after the recommended 5 years when they are unlikely to have a great deal of wear. Continental Vancocamper or Michelin Agelas (?) seem to be the manufacturers choice when they are unlikely to pay what we would be charged.

Ok, I am going to wade in, Do you store your MH for long periods between trips? if so go for Conti 4 seasons Vancampers, if not then the Conti 4 season Vancontact (?) that’s their normal van tyre. If you are using the MH regularly you probably don’t need the extra strength and weight in the sidewalls of the Vancamper tyres.

Go for a decent van tyre I fitted Toyo Observe Van, they are a winter tyre but work well in the summer.
Camping tyres give a far too harder ride and lack of grip particularly Michilens.

Changed mine last year to Michelin Agilis Crossclimate Van tires, 225/75R16 121R. Find it a much better ride and run 65psi rear with 60psi front. Covered 8000mls on them so far with no complaints and would buy them again over a specific MH tire.
