Thanks Michael, we have just hit 5 years. Best to play safe eh!

yes we have a bailey and when we wanted tyres of the size above.they were next to impossible to find on the net.the tyre size yes but not the loading of 92N.finished up with these and pleased with them but the pressure was changed.from 42 to 38 psi.

195/70R14 95N BRIDGESTONE SF226 RF at £79.67 each

Have a look at Camskill.co.uk. And click on the van tyres section.

All you need to do is find a garage to fit them, Even if they charged a tenner, you're still saving quite a bit against others.

We are, ordered some 175/R13's. 8 ply 'C' rated too and are £35 cheaper than anywhere else I've found so far.........

Anyone looking thought to ring a local independent tyre fitter?
My guy in Nottingham has consistently beaten the internet by a wide margin with his first price, not his second!, so give them a try.

tried that gary round here,QF and NATIONAL and two others were £10 per tyre more expensive when i was looking.i am all for supporting local dealers.plus a mobile dealer was able to come to my house and i did not need to move the van and he can balance them too.a bailey dealer part number 1140040 wanted £111 each plus fitting .wow.

It's advisable to get the caravan wheels balanced as well after having new tyres fitted to eliminate any bounce due to unbalancing.

unbalanced wheels can also shake your van to bits and make wheel nuts loose.

Two other things, always insist on balancing, second, if you currently have 195/70R14 95/6 then don't waste money on these obsolete under rated tyres, change to 185/75R14C 102 or 185R14C 102, or even 175R14C 99, all more suitable and a darn sight cheaper!
You will though need different tyre pressures and I can tell you what this should be
