Just received a phone price for the Michelins - $550 each, so it sounds like a good reason to talk to Bob Jane.

$440 each in Sydney

The Hankooks have a H rating, while the Michelins have a Y rating. Do we need the Y rating?

No, you don't need Y rating. If you buy Hankooks, you'll be surprised with their performance. And it is not a bad looking tyre either.

Hey y'all

I can vouch for the GT Radial Maxmiler CX which is available for T5's with 16" wheels (215/65R16C)........great tyre for around town, back roads and long distances (tried it all!) and very affordable. I can also vouch for the Goodyear Cargo G26 in this size.

I fitted Hankooks

Hi All

Finally had some Hancooks fitted & an allignment done@ Goodspanner in Brookvale.

Goodspanner were very very helpfull

So it will be interesting to see how the Hancooks wear.

Will report back in another 15,000k

New member here . I have a MY07 T5 lwb 128kw auto , 12 months old next Tuesday and 70k turned over last Friday when I replaced the original equipment Michelin's , 2 of them were good for about another 5k - tyres were rotated at each service including the spare , I replaced the Michelin's with "Yokohama Delivery star 818" 215/65/16 @ $956 for 4 inc fitting balancing and wheel alignment @ Bob Jane Nerang = very quiet tyre with similar mileage as the Michelin's according to others that use them - Vehicle is used for the delivery of medical and Health care products and does a daily run from Brisbane to Northern NSW . Tomorrow it goes for valuation to be traded for a new Crafter , I need the extra space and the ability to load pallets without breaking them down .

Now up to 35K Km's on the Multivan, and the Michelins need replacing. Anymore updates on the Hankooks or other options in 17"?

I got 75000 plus from my Vanco Contacts. 205.65.16 .They were rotated at each service. Could not fault them but,they are not availabe in Australia with the same load rating. I replaced them Yokohamas Delivery Stars. I have found them to be quieter and handling seems just as good. They cost me $800 fitted and balanced from The Tyre Factory Dandenong.

I've done 15,000km on Hankooks and I'm still very happy with them.
