The reply to my one and only e-mail to TIRE GUYS at Continental Tire…
Dear John,
Web Inquiry: xxxxxxxx
Thank you for contacting Customer Relations at Continental Tire the Americas, LLC.
We no longer manufacture ST tires, and the Vanco line is not a suitable alternative.
We would recommend searching for a dedicated ST tire line.

And this information taken directly from the Continental tire website about the commercial Vanco tire line… it’s not something I am saying…
“The growing demand for short-distance transport of passengers and goods
also leads to increased requirements so that the performance of modern day
vans nears that of passenger car.”
“The concept of the VancoTM Camper is to use long well-proven Vanco
technique, optimize its performance for distinguished motorcaravan
requirements and thus cater to the needs of this specific target use.”
“The Continental Vanco Camper tyres are part of Continental’s Vanco tyre
range that comprises tyres exclusively for vans.”
Can anyone post any information from their website or official documentation stating differently???
And I should rely on who’s information here???
Yes I have gone to great lengths to examine my options, to find my best options from all the different perspectives… anyone that has read my post on the topic knows I am not one of the Maxxis faithful but yes I have chosen the Maxxis M8008 to be my best option for my trailer at this time…
Repeating test about some high speed sports car tires as some do or being a car guy, has no more bearing on my choice than reports on Maxxis motorcycle tires would… but when that’s all you got and you’re a car guy that’s what you go with… but know one thing, I am not concerned with car tires here in the TT forums, only trailer tires or TV tires…
