I use Marshal 8 ply on my van. Deep tread, hard wearing and fairly quiet re- road noise.

The tyre guru on here is of course Kev the Rev. Drop him a PM. :ok

Tyre traders offer some competitive prices and good choices....looking up the 185 R14C listing, the Avon supervan is the cheapest 'premium brand' at just over £50 a pop.
