GRIP
THE
EARTH
A van conversion isn't a standard delivery van. It's heavier, carries a shifting load, and often goes where couriers won't. Here is how to choose the right tyres for your build.
Highway (HT)
Optimized for tarmac, fuel economy, and silence. The standard choice for those who stick to campsites and motorways.
- Best fuel economy
- Quietest ride
- Useless on wet grass
All-Terrain (AT)
The enthusiast's choice. Aggressive looks and actual capability on mud, sand, and snow. Essential for off-grid builds.
- Off-grid capability
- Rugged sidewalls
- Increased road noise
Winter / 3PMSF
Tyres with the 'Three Peak Mountain Snowflake' symbol. Legally required in many European countries during winter.
- Legal EU compliance
- Superior cold grip
- Faster wear in summer
The Load Rating Trap
When choosing a tyre for a van conversion, the **Load Index** is more important than the brand. A fully laden Sprinter or Crafter can weigh 3.5 tonnes. You must ensure your tyres are rated (typically 115/112 or higher) to handle the constant weight of a conversion.
