Tyre recommendation please

I need to get 2 new front tyres for my Caravelle and would appreciate recommendations. Currently I have on Maxxis VanPro 215/65 on 16" alloys.

If you value things like grip and traction, avoid Lassas like the plague. They last so well because they're made of cheap, hard rubber which doesn't wear down much. Unfortunately, this means it doesn't grip much either.

I'm running Vredesteins at the moment (Ultrac Cento but they're not available in commercial fitment) and find them very good for grip, especially in wet weather. I'm sure they have commercial tyres too.
