    Hey guys hope someone can help me here, I bought the van in question new in 2008 with standard van spec tyre mitchelin 16's, by one and half years all 5 tyres had balloned out, at the thread with only 30k km on them, then put on bf goodridge with the same thing happening to all 4 of them. Has anyone seen this happen to so many tyres? I'm driving now round with two more back tyers balloned out it like driving a bog road all the time.
    Any ideas
    Tyre pressure is always to spec.
    Thanks

    Hi, never had a problem with tyres on three previous LWB Transporters. On current van all four original Dunlops required changing after 45k kms. One of them failed quite badly with plently of thread left on it. Current Bridgestones and Goodyears seem to wearing well.
