Hi all
Am looking at replacing 3 tyres on a 2007 Conway cruiser. Existing ones are 155/80R13 79T , but I have been told these are car tyres? Weight of camper fully laden I believe is 900kg.
Is it okay to replace these of the same type?....and if so, where should I purchase some more please?
Regards....

The 79 in 79T indicates they are rated at 437kg each so just a smidge under rated unless you deduct the nose weight. You need a number 80 or higher preferably 81 or more.

I've just looked at my 95 Cruiser. It has the same tyres as yours. I would assume from those sizes that they are car tyres. Not sure about the pressure though.

Go to a reputable tyre depot and get some expert advice. Do not leave tyre condition, type,etc., to chance.

My local tyre place replaced our tt ones last year. They had to get them in next day but good value and better than what was fitted originally.

The tyes are ok, the standard fitting for that camper. The speed rating T is 120mph & load rating is at that speed & you will be doing half that. You probably won't be fully laden anyway so the standard car tyres are ok.

You are unlikely to find that size in a higher load rating nowadays anyway so your only option really is to go for the car tyres. Pay a bit extra for premium or mid range brand rather than budget if you like & you will be ok.

tyre-shopper.co.uk has Michelins & Contis in that size for under £50 each. I find them the cheapest, order online & tyres are delivered to you nearest National Tyres depot for fitting/balanced included in price.
