Winter Tyre Personal Recommendations

[Blue Moon]

The question is in the title. There’s loads to choose. My Ducato Maxi 4.4T chassis has Michelin Agilis CP m&s, I understand these are not “real” winter tyres so I’m looking for your recommendations please.

We have Michelin all season, best of both worlds much softer ride than Michelin camping tyres

I don't rate Michelin X Cross Climates. Poor grip in the wet and our car version started cracking in 12 months.

I have run our Last three motorhomes and 2 van on Michelin Alpin Winters. 100% recommend them.

On my current Van, I swapped Michelin Alpin for TOYO Observe. Great same grip, same noise level. But came with shallow tread depth from new and are wearing faster then the Michelin Alpin. I managed 40,000 miles on my Last Michelin Winters, I don't think the Observe will last 20,000

Goodyear fitted to mine. And couldn’t be happier with them.

May be worth searching the site for ‘Davanti’? I’ve seen the name quoted by some here as being worthy of consideration, although no idea if winter tyres were in use.

Some winter tyres are “directional”. Just another thing to consider if you carry a spare.

I Have the Michellin Agillis Cross Climates, on my van, no issues so far. Not tried in the snow, but decent drip on gravel wet grass & mud. Had them on my last van as well. Mine are the standard commercial variant rather than specific the camping tyres.

Just an update. We had to meet our financial advisor this week. He suggested a hotel just off the M1 in Nottinghamshire on our way back from our recent twi month trip to France & Spain.
The hotel car park was on a steep slope slope and covered with hard packed ice & snow. I was quite worried about traction however the tyres performed really well and we managed to negotiate our way in and out without any issues.
Tyres have been on for two years and we have covered 13000 miles on them. All tyres still have 7-8mm.
Thumbs up from me.

Davanti have stated that some of their tyres aren't suitable for MH use. This declaration on their site came after id already bought a set. I'm only running 3.5t and use it quite regularly so I hope I'm ok. For a larger MH I'd defo avoid. However my devanti tyres do give a good ride.
