I saved the Vredesteins for winter, I'll swap them back then as they are a lot better in the wet than the Toyos
Used to run those all the time then switched to Yokohama Parada 2's. Now put Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's onto the remapped D5 and they are fantastic and would do a jo on the T4. High load rating, really stiff sidewalls and rim protector and steering is like night and day as is handling. Tyres that were on were Avon ZZ5 so hardly budgets....!!

Trust me man I wish I could. I could afford to buy one itself no problem and tax it. The insurance is £90 per month which compared to my current £37 is quite a jump.

I'll have one soon enough though

I pay £430 a year on mine. 24 years old, 2 years no claims, 8000 miles a year, kept outside and in works carpark during the day. Mods declared as lowering springs, leather interior, alloy wheels & K&N filter.

That's with Adrian Flux.
