Do you rotate your tyres evey 5,000km?
Also I pump them up to 50psi pressure.

On my T4 Caravelle I purchased the OEM Goodyear Cargo load rated tyres. About $200 each fitted.

The new Multivan came with Dunlops as the OEM tyre.

Latest price on the DynaPro HP's is $235 each. Was offered Michelins and Yokohamas for $500+ each. I can't justify that. Have just ordered four of the DynaPro.

Cheers,

Was it DynaPro RA23?
I was told on Monday at Bob Jane that DynaPro HP was not available. RA23 replaces DynaPro HP. I check the RA23 tread pattern and it looks almost identical to HP. I didn't check for differences in construction between the two.
Still less expensive than others.

It's probably the RA23. This was the model suggested to me when discussing the DynaPro. I didn't realise the RA23's were a newer model. It appears they have a very similar construction and tread.

Tyres on the T5 tonight - DynaPro HP, not RA23.

I met a man from Shepparton who had a T4 Transporter that was fitted with extra seats.

He had Goodyear Cargos fitted and he says he got about 120,000kms from the first set, and would do at least the same on the second set.

It is hard to believe but anything is possible.
He had probably regularly rotated his tyres and checked the tyre pressure once a week and driving in like “old grandma style” in straight line mostly and long distances.

Most I get was about 75,000km out of Michelin Agilis61 on Vito van city driving and a lot of roundabouts.

So, it is actually quite possible.
