thank you all for your help, that’s a relief, I thought the 690kg was the payload, added to the van weight of 900kg, total weight 1590kg, to much weight for the car to pull, therefore the tyres would be under ratted. although 1 tyre wall is cracked and will be replaced, all 3 wheel rims are different, 2 needs a repaint, so it leaves 1 155/70 tyre, and what was the new spare a 165/70 tyre (with new rim).
I am unable to find a match to the new rim, so am going to buy 3 new rims and possible 3 new tyres, this is subject to whether I either go for 155's or the 165's if I match the 165, it will cost about 2 x £65, so I am thinking going for all 3 at the cost of £45, and put the new spare wheel up for auction on ebay.
Once again thank you all. graham

Hi, just a thought to jog your memory, caravan tyres, best to use comercial tyre 6ply min, as it carries the similar load as car, only on two wheels, also caravan tyres recomended to be changed every 5yearsregardless of tread.
------------- If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.
