Which reinforced tyres for my van-based MPV?

I need some advice on tyre choice for my 1998 Nissan Elgrand MPV. The standard tyre is 215/65 R15 96 S and it has been suggested that I use reinforced tyres because of the Elgrand's weight. I will only do 7000 miles a year and I don't bump the van up and down kerbs, so which tyres would you recommend?

The very best tyre for you is the Michelin Agilis+. It gives the Mercedes Sprinter van astonishing grip and response, so should do the job on your MPV.
