Do Nokian not recommend a tyre pressure?
All-Season Tyre recommendations
- Thread starter skyhigh_71
- Start date
I've no idea.
But it would need to be vehicle specific, so that would be a lot of work for Nokian
Also, Nokian would probably say they recommend a commercial tyre for a T6, and probably only available in 16"/17" sizes
Thanks for everyone's advice... went for Nokian's ... 235/55/18 on a set of 18" Amaroks, and had it lowered with 40mm sports springs with 15mm spacers. Totally delighted with the new look.
Things I've learned: speedo is now pretty much bang on; on the dash it doesn't suggest I change gear as often ( 4 -> 5 etc.); acceleration in 5th and 6th doesn't seem as responsive as before; I get way more admiring glances; tyres look badass; overall the van's height is lower (around 197cm).
I run all season tyres as dont want two sets of wheels! Van is FWD only.
Bridgestone A005 235/50R18 on Amarok steel rims. Nokians are very popular. Just need to ensure you get the correct load rating. Mine are 101 for a T30 so ‘just’ OK.
We have lots of customers running the GY cargo vectors, which are an all season with the all important snowflake symbol. They last really well and perform great when needed and not too noisy. We fit these to all of our European hires, when going on ski trips.

Do you mean Goodyear Cargo Vectors?
Sorry yes! Long day to Manchester and back , now edited ;-)
I’m interested in those Goodyear Cargo Vectors but I can only find them in 215 width with the correct rolling diameter. I currently have 235 width tyres. Do you know what the advantages/disadvantages of a 235 vs 215 width in an all season tyre are on a T6?
I'm running Michelin Cross Climate 235 55 17 on my 204 and they are very good. Grippy and quiet.
I'm in Glasgow and rarely see snow, so it's mainly the lower temperature benefit I'm after.

I've run 2 sets of the Goodyear Cargo Vector , I can't fault them really, excellent on icy wet roads quiet and fairly fuel efficient. They do lack a bit in muddy or snowy conditions though.
My current tyres are Michelin Latitude Cross 235/55/17. I fitted these because I fancied something a bit chunkier looking. They are effectively a summer tyre with mud and snow rating. They are better in a muddy field than the Goodyears but are poor by comparison everywhere else. Wet grip, icy roads are scary, noisier.
They do last incredibly well though.
I've just ordered a set of Michelin Agilis Crossclimate back to 215/60/17 in size. These were recommended by a friend who said they were excellent in all conditions. At £160 a corner fitted they are not the cheapest, I just hope I don't regret not getting another set of Goodyears.

I should add I really can't be bothered changing wheels over summer to winter nor do I have much room to store yet more wheels and tyres which is why all season works for me.
take a look at... Michelin Agilis Crossclimate
