While the tyres featured in these pages represent some of the best and most popular products on the market, van fleet managers and operators have a bewildering amount of choice. The Tyre Industry Federation says that more than 300 brands sourced from more than 45 countries are on sale in the UK alone, the majority of them targeting van operators for whom a low purchase price is a key consideration. One brand that combines a relatively low purchase price with widespread penetration in the UK and beyond is Landsail. The Sentury Tire-produced brand’s latest van tyre is designed to meet UK performance targets: an all-season design for increased confidence in extreme conditions and tricky terrains, whilst offering a level of economy for drivers as there is no need to switch tyres from summer to winter.

The Landsail 4Seasons Van tyre was developed primarily for all-weather confidence. Engineered to blend year-round handling and comfort with the longevity drivers need, the 4Seasons Van tyre delivers performance throughout the seasons as a result of several design features. These include:

• a modern, asymmetric tread design. The combination of summer and winter tyre design elements are optimally balanced for all-season driving.
• lateral and longitudinal grooves provide efficient water dispersion and a self-cleaning effect on snow, as well as excellent running mileage.
• wet grip sipes and grooves. The micro-siped tread centre and inner part allow for increased traction and grip level on wet and snow-covered roads.
• an advanced silica tread compound boosts rolling resistance and helps improve fuel efficiency.

Chris Saunders, brand manager at Landsail Tyres, comments: “We put years of research into our innovative designs and the Landsail 4Seasons Van tyre is a great example of that. With such a competitive market, it is important we continue to develop and innovate tyres to ensure we continue to meet consumer demand and provide reliable and safe tyres for the wide-ranging environments commercial vehicles are driven in.”
