Edition 25 Multivan Tyres

[mikinoz]

I've run KU19 and were too soft and only got 25k. I have Rotalla on now and they are pretty reasonable for the money.

Because I chop tyres out due to camber, I'm not spending rediculous money on tyres for the van anymore.

Hi mikinoz,

How did you rate the Rotalla? because at the price all four are cheaper than 1 contisport tire!

cheers,

Another one to throw in the mix, Jaluo
Maxxis M-36
Maxxis M-36 Victra i-Max Tyres
It's in the size you want with a load rating of 109

I don't know anything about these tyres, but I get a phenomenal run out of Maxxis tyres
I use their MA-P1 and get a good 70,000 ks out of each set (on my third at the moment)
And handling is superb, and only cost me around $215 each for 235/17/55
I have no idea on the price of the M-36 though, you'll need to check that out

They are not a continental. But the multivan isn't GTI.

Quiet and compliant enough. I'm not going to complain as they simply do the job. Just remember your multi is 2.5 tonnes unlaiden so whatever tyres you put on will be a compromise in one area or another.

I just put 4 maxxis i-pro victra on my ed25 Multi. $200 each. I will let everyone know how they wear - can not be as bad as the CSC3s.

BTW I have a couple of the original CSC3s if anyone needs to replace one. One is near new and cost me over $600. Another 2 about 50%.

Hi Guys,

I put 4 Kumho's KU19 from Tempe Tyres, they were pretty proffessional and the price ($200 each) was not too bad. They did have the continentals at $320 each which i have to say was the best price i have found but they just wear too fast and my better half has a lead foot!
I will give progress on how they wear, so far so good!

cheers,

How's the wear rate going Jaluo?

I'm now looking to replace mine (Dunlop SP Sport 01s) at about 25K kms. Not fantastic wear.

(VW quoted me $320 a corner on some Pirellis - but they got the size wrong - 235/45R18 instead of 255/45R18, so that didn't inspire confidence).

[S.A]

Ended up with KU39s from Tempe Tyres just before Christmas. $220 a corner and they threw in a front wheel alignment.

Have just done a bit over 1K kms on them and they seem to be ok in dry and wet, and not noticeably different noise-wise than the Dunlops.

that's a great price. My tyre shop has organised some Hankook for me in 255/45/18, about $300 each, they've included the lugs and hubcentric rings to fit the X5 wheels on as well. Fitting tomorrow!

Hi Guys,

The Kuhmos are going pretty good just rotated the front to the back as was a bit uneven in the wear rate but they are pretty decent tyre, good in wet and dry, though i suspect will wear faster than the continentals. Still i am happy with them at that price!

[S.A]

Just updating. I got 30K kms out of the fronts of the KU39, and still had a fair bit on the rears - laziness on my part as I hadn't rotated them.

I had one of the fronts blow out recently. Replaced them with another set of KU39s. Overall pretty satisfied with them given the vehicle/size constraints.
