A caravan or trailer tyre lives a different life to a passenger tyre. It carries heavy static loads, sits in the sun, and gets pushed for hours at highway speed once a year. We supply load-rated, speed-rated tyres specifically built for this work, from light box trailers through to full-size touring caravans. We'll also check load ratings, age, and pressure, all of which matter as much as tread depth on a tyre that spends most of its life parked.
Yes. We balance caravan and trailer tyres to the same standard as car tyres. It makes a noticeable difference to towing stability and reduces wear on the van's suspension.
Yes. Caravan and trailer tyres are designed for sustained heavy loads and standing in the sun, with reinforced sidewalls and specific load and speed ratings. A passenger tyre on a heavy van is asking for trouble.
Caravan tyres typically need replacing every 5 to 7 years regardless of tread depth, because the rubber degrades from sun and age even when the van is parked. Check the date code on the sidewall, not just the tread.
