continental tyres = bouncing bongo

I have just had new tyres fitted I requested that continental tyres were used and lo and behold 195/70 vancos on the front and 215/65 vanco contact 2 on the rear , these were rejected as they are different tread patterns and weight loading , vancos have a much higher load than the contact 2 and this has a very interesting effect on handling (these are still fitted but not paid for) a phone call to continental revealed that neither tyre is now made in both sizes despite the info on there web site so where to go now??

It won't solve your immediate problem but will give you an idea about which tyres are best for Bongo.
