I stand corrected; Nankang are Taiwanese tyres.

I reckon them to be OK for quality; will probably use them again.

Hi
On the subject of new tyres I am in the process of getting quotes for new tyres for my Bailey senator and they are between £75.00 and £110.00
Does this seem expensive to you guys as I have never bought caravan tyres.

dont know your size but i got three in 2010.used a mobile fitter.

195/70R14 95N BRIDGESTONE SF226 RF at £79.67 each (Fully Inclusive)

Hmmm, 42 does look very low.

Half of your MTPLM is 683kg, and 69PSI is to carry 825kg on new tyres.

Scaling that back, means tyres are at 82% of their load. 82% of 69PSI is 57PSI... Try 60PSI as a starter for ten; keep eye on any uneven wear.

Have inflated to 50 psi. Heading.g of for the weekend. It's about 55 miles to the site will check again once I get there. I am getting very nervous about tyre pressure, never had to inflate a tyre over 42psi. Hope it does go bang! LOL

Presume DOESNT GO BANG!!

Commercial vans tyres can be up at these pressures; dont worry about it, its better to have that much in than not enough; thats what caused the old ones to wear down to the canvas. Let the tyre sidewall be your guide; thats what the manufacturers have TUV tested it to.
