Mercedes Sprinter Van 218
Believe it or not my Mercedes sprinter is the 2007 version and only now have I got to have some new tyres on the front. I am a disabled driver so don't awful lot of driving.

I suppose it's best to replace with what was already on there. How much are tyres for the Mercedes sprinter nowadays?
 
Remember this is a cargo van so the load rating requires 10 ply ratings.
Well it does where I am.

There are only three good tyres I will use
Michelin (top of the pile )
Continental-(Good)
Kumho (alright I suppose!)
Tuerca Viejas

From using many different tyres on my Sprinter (225/70 15") of which I thought were 8 ply:-

Mich. (forget) sidewalls way to soft and sway baddly when on the rear, but the grip is ok.
Conti. (forget) same as the the Mich. but with a little less grip
Goodyear/Dunlop - Less sway but not so good in the wet.
Pirelli - Similar to the Goodyear Cargo.
Toyo - (just Don't bother) weak walls & no grip whatsoever.
Uninroyal - same as the Toyo.
Kumho - I've not tried.
Yokohama - At Present I can't fault, and because of which

Please Mich. can i buy some MXC's that the van came with from new!!!
