145s10 are old 1960s mini tyres and are bloody expensive for the tyre size you may find them on Towsures site

If it ain't broke don't try to fix it!

HI, you should change your tyres every so often as the walls can crack and have a blow out,  you can get tyres from towsure as i got some from their last year, they are different from car tyres as the walls are thicker to take the wieght.

Any tyre shop should be able to help.  They are old 10" Mini wheels.  You need to know the weight of the trailer loaded as some trailer tyres have load & speed ratings different to the spec for car tyres.  I got some last year for around £20 each fitted from a local tyre shop.

The weight of the (unloaded) trailer will be in the makers specification.  If you don't have tha handbook, go to the manufacturers or owners club web site.  Failing that, ring the local council & find a weighbridge.  Most councils will have one somewhere you could take your camper.  I got my tyres at a local firm, but 10" tyres are still pretty widely available.  They will need to order them as they will probably not be in stock.  Mine are cheapo Chinese ones, but you can still get good quality brands if you want to spend serious money.
