Goodyear GT2 - Rating

Does anyone rate GOODYEAR - GT2 as an alternative to Conti Vancos - I'm having difficulty sourcing Vancos.

I have GT2 and they wear unevenly on my Bongo resulting in a hum at about 50MPH. When this happens I change the front wheels offside to nearside, the hum goes away until the wear pattern changes.

When I have had some more wear from them I will replace them with COntinental.

This might be just my Bongo and down to some anomally which no one can find, tracking is spot on!

Before you buy anything other than Vanco, read this:

Thanks Rkkki, I have seen that before.

In actual fact the most dangerous thing about hard breaking in a camper van is the flying Cast iron Griddle pan whistling past your ear at 63.783 MPH.

Cheers mate.

No, you are wrong, it is if the Cast iron Griddle pan doesn't whistle past your ear at 63.783mph.
