2026 Summer Motorhome and Van Tyre Test

Compare each discipline in the tested size. See the measured result, position and gap to the best tyre, then read the verdict for the trade-offs behind the finishing order.

Tested size: 225/75 R16 C
Tyres tested: 7
Disciplines: 11
Test vehicle: Fiat Ducato Basis

Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tyres can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tyres does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

Dry

Dry Braking
Position / Tyre	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Nokian Cargoproof C	41 m	Best	0 km/h
2Vredestein Comtrac 2+	41.1 m	+0.10 m	6 km/h
3Firestone Vanhawk 3	42.2 m	+1.20 m	22 km/h
4Goodyear Efficientgrip Cargo 2	42.5 m	+1.50 m	24 km/h
5Michelin AGILIS 3	43 m	+2.00 m	28 km/h
6Continental Vancontact Ultra	44 m	+3.00 m	34 km/h
7Barum Vanis 3	44.2 m	+3.20 m	35 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 7.8% (3.2 m ≈ 0.7 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Barum Vanis 3 would still be travelling at 35 km/h when the Nokian Cargoproof C had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Set my vehicle consumption

Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tyre age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.
