Don't complain - suggest what's better
I’ve fitted Michelin cross climate on my Iveco and they are a huge improvement over standard road tyres when off road. Before we would spin on the lightest bit of damp grass or sand. Now for the most part just keep going. My guy got bogged in loose sand the other day, but I put it down to driver error and he was till able to back out.

Needing tyres on front of van at the mo, from talking to a few different lads Michelins probs do a good wearing all rounder as @Grahams has above albeit at a price. Only problem being they wear well but a lot have had problems with uneven wear (stepped) and had to change them with plenty tread left. Local tyre place runs all vans on Falkens, worth a look at I'm told (I'm waiting for prices back on them).

Depends what you are looking for. There are plenty of good value high milage van tyres out there, but if you want some grip off road you are limited. All season tyres seem to offer a good compromise and have the added advantage of being better in the snow than summer tyres, but you pay a premium for them.
Given how much a new van costs, or even a tank of fuel, the difference in cost per tyre is minimal in the big scheme of things.

I wanted the Michelin cross climate tyres on my van in the beginning of the year but couldn't get as apparently tyres were on short supply. The only thing I could get were Yokohama all weather, been ok but I've never been a fan of Yoko's as think they can be a bit soft

Just recently fitted these to our tipper. They are not 4x4 tyres by any stroke of the imagination, but a bloody sight better than the OE tyres, which not only lacked grip but really didn’t stick the punishment well at all. The originals were continentals and while I generally don’t mind continentals usually, these were not up to the job at all, most breaking cords before they wore out and not wearing that well either! Last truck like this was the same, one previous to that was on Michelins and it left here with the original tyres on it which did bloody well imo.
So I’ve put Michelins on the front of this one and these Bridgestones on the back, winter tyres that are hopefully up to the weight. Time will tell….

My falkens have been decent but one has a slow that the garage couldn't find, so has worn a lot faster, so need to replace that and the other side isn't too far off that one, to be fair I haven't rotated them as much, as I should have but they have still done a good 40k+ and the rears probably still half the tread left.
If the renegade RT+ have been good I'll have a search and see what the prices are like and the patriot branded ones too, as can't bring myself to pay ko2 money

Done 50k on my pickups BFG AT's and still plenty of life left, get another year out of them at least before they wont be worn down enough to be illegal but probably not much use as an all terrain tyre. The set I replaced last year on my Defender were 15 years old and did 70k with life left on them. Plenty of off roading on them too. I know they are expensive but for the miles you get they are actually great value I find and take the weight of a heavy truck well.

I’ve got BFG ATs on my Hilux and my MAN van - the MAN is unreal on the icy roads, phenomenal grip and handling. The Hilux is terrible though, it’s all over the place and the ABS is over-sensitive to the point where you can’t actually slow down! I need to have a look at the tyre pressures as can’t really see what else would lead to such a massive difference in performance (the van hasn’t had much weight in it the last couple of weeks, so it isn’t that).

Just over a week ago I put some General Grabber AT3s on the Navara 
General Grabbers were excellent on my previous 3 x LR Discovery
