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.
