dont go touring , its just from storage to park ??

It flies then rather than goes via the road, or is storage in the park? Get the correct tyre for the job. You may this useful

My son is a tyre fitter. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW to fit a car tye on a van or caravan rim. It contravenes the Construction and Use regulations.

If you're unsure, why don't you go to a local tyre depot & ask them if it's repairable. They'll know what they're about & have you sorted in no time.

Nothing wrong with budget tyres on a caravan. The important thing as Tentz says is that they are the correct load rating (and probably even more importantly kept inflated to correct pressure!)

Caravan tyres aren't subject to same forces and loads that cars exert on their tyres so providing they are to correct spec any tyre should be fit for purpose

As above though why not see if it can be repaiered first and then check out your other tyres to see if they show signs of cracking and splitting. 5 years is a guide nothing else

In all honesty I have found very little difference in price for 'caravan/commercial' tyres as opposed to car tyres anyway, so you may as well fit the correct ones.
