I've Just had my TEC tour serviced and Dave from caratechs recommended I replace the tyres. I've tried to locate the model online and via a local mobile company.

The tyres I have are 195/70/R14 96s, there is mention on various forums that people are also finding it impossible to locate them.

The mobile tyre company recommended 195/70/R14 95h, is this safe to do ?

Cheers

That size tyre and load rating is readily available. A load rating of 96 is probably what the caravan manufacturers recommend, so 95, although only slightly lower, may invalidate insurance. Just get the tyres from somewhere else.

Hi John,

Thanks very much, for your post I'll read through the manual tonight and have another look online.

Interestingly I've seen another post on this forum discussing 95/96 tyres

Quote: Originally posted by arc systems on 28/3/2009

Interesting set of sizes which represent three different types of tyre

195/70R14 91 is a standard type tyre which can carry a maximum of 1230kg but preferably no more than 1110kg fitted on a caravan.

195/70R14 95/96 is a 'reinforced' tyre, max 1380kg preferably 1225kg

175/70R14 99 is an 8ply tyre, max 1550kg preferably 1396kg

Due to the different types of construction all three tyres have the same rolling diameter

Matador have in the recent past had bad press due to cracking sidewalls, your service guy has found none though and as long has he's checked them properly by taking them off the van to do the checking? I'd say their adequate for your van and therefore checked regularly should be ok for a number of years yet

load index of 95 on 2 tyres give max load of 1380kg so provided the max weight of caravan is well under that, say 1300kg then you are ok with those. You could change to 185/80X14C which are commercial van tyres, easily available & a about 1cm higher.

A four year old post you've found and still this problem is regularly discussed?!

To be honest, I'd now suggest fitting 175R14C 99 and be done, readily available, plenty of choice of makes and cheaper.

Thanks all, the TEC Tour is max 1200kg so well under the 1300kg that Tentz discussed.

Cheers

Have had the same problem on Senator Vermont. Got in touch with Bailey and they now use Maxxis 195/70 R14 96N and I found a local dealer by looking at Maxxis web site. £82.50 fitted each tyre.

Event Tyres priced the same tyre at £70.68 fitted on site.

Just used Event Tyres, on recommendation from Michael.
I was very impressed with their service, price, efficiency etc., and will certainly consider using again.
