These details have been supplied from the Camping & Caravanning Club website regarding caravan tyres so this is fact and not my own personal view. Hope it helps.

There is no such thing as a caravan tyre, although some tyre sizes are supplied specifically to fit certain caravans. The same general specification is used for all road vehicle tyres and all are subject to the same rules on tread depth and construction. However, since the whole of a caravan’s weight is carried on just two tyres, the load carrying specification is usually higher. You should always ensure that the tyres fitted can carry the weight of the caravan at the speeds at which it could travel. A tyre fitter should have access to tables to work this out on the basis of tyre size and maximum weight of caravan, but if in doubt consult one of the Approved Caravan Workshops.
When you have the correct tyres fitted it is also important to inflate them to the correct pressure. If you do not have the caravan's handbook available, again your Approved Workshop should be able to help you. Remember that using a tyre which is ‘unsuitable’ for its use is against the law.

I am glad this article has been posted as I have just been to my caravan this weekend to find out its tyre size as it is 5 years old this year and I need to replace them.

Tyres and handbook show 175R 14C 99/95 Load range D.

I tried to get a quote on line but found this impossible as I have no profile number which is required for a quotation.


Maybe I will have to phone up for a price.

Cheers.
