Landsail Tyres’ van range is ready to help deliver Christmas

The delivery driving industry is highly competitive, with van drivers facing immense pressure, especially during the Christmas season when the volume of deliveries surges. This period is particularly stressful as drivers work tirelessly to meet tight deadlines and customer expectations.

Amid this hustle, punctures and tyre replacements can severely impact their schedules, leading to time off the road and a consequent loss in earnings. Every minute counts and any downtime can put drivers at a disadvantage.

Thanks to the expertise and cutting-edge innovation here at Landsail – one of the most well-established tyre brands worldwide – our tyres have been created with fantastic performance and reliability so that drivers can meet the delivery pressures they face.

So, what are the options for a competitively priced and reliable tyre for van drivers?

4Seasons van tyre

The Landsail 4Seasons Van tyre has been developed and manufactured with one thing in mind – all-weather confidence. Engineered to blend year-round handling and comfort with the longevity van drivers need, the 4Seasons Van tyre delivers performance throughout the seasons as a result of design features including:

• A modern, asymmetric tread design. The combination of summer and winter tyre design elements is optimally balanced for all-season driving.
• Lateral and longitudinal grooves provide efficient water dispersion and a self-cleaning effect on snow, as well as excellent running mileage.
• Wet-grip sipes and grooves. The micro-siped tread centre and inner part allow for increased traction and grip level on wet and snow-covered roads.
• The advanced silica tread compound boosts rolling resistance and helps improve fuel efficiency.

Snow Star

This dedicated winter van tyre has a tread design that caters for the pressures of a higher-load vehicle. Snow Star is designed to manage the unique behaviour of a van with a taller centre of gravity in challenging wintry conditions, delivering traction, durability, and performance.

Its unique features include:

• Sawtooth lateral grooves to maximise grip force and maintain handling.
• The wet grip design is engineered to channel water, snow, and debris through the tread and out to maintain grip and braking performance.
• Advanced shoulder design reduces heat build-up and provides robust traction when cornering.

With these features, the Snow Star offers exceptional braking distance and cornering control in wet, icy and snowy conditions and outstanding cost-per-mile in temperatures below 7°C.

LSV88

Meanwhile, the LSV88 is Landsail’s original van tyre. Designed for durability but with agile handling for enhanced control and safety, it was the first van tyre manufactured in Landsail’s cutting-edge Industry 4.0 facility.

Its bespoke design boasts:

• Reinforced casing which offers optimal carrying capacity.
• Deep grooves to provide traction on demanding surfaces and high wear resistance.
• Staggered sipe configuration for improved handling and braking in wet conditions.

“Vans play a more important role in the economy than ever,” said Chris Saunders, Landsail UK Brand Manager.

“With more drivers working in the sector it has become more important to ensure they have the right tyres for the job. Cost is an important factor, as is safety, particularly with there being a very obvious peak around Christmas for deliveries.

“Creating a range of tyres designed to perform at an optimal level in all conditions made perfect sense to us. The LSV88 is a reliable everyday performer – a robust yet comfortable van tyre – the 4Seasons is perfect for year-round travel, while for the busy winter season, Snow Star delivers increased control in lower temperatures.”
