Caravan tyres are designed to handle heavy loads and maintain stability while towing. Unlike standard car tyres, they are built for strength rather than high mileage.
At Lindleys Autocentres, we supply caravan tyres across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & Leicestershire with mobile fitting available at your home or storage location.
Correct tyres are imperative for safe towing and stability.
Tyres can degrade over time, even with low mileage.
Reliable tyres reduce the risk of failure on motorways.
Caravan tyres are built specifically to support higher load ratings.
Even if tread appears in good condition, caravan tyres can deteriorate over time due to:
UV exposure
Long periods of standing
Weather conditions
Many manufacturers recommend replacement every 5–7 years regardless of mileage.

Age is critical factor in the safety of your tyres. Whilst there is no specific UK law that states a caravan tyre must be changed when it reaches a certain age, there are guidelines and recommendations that should be followed to ensure safety.
The British Tyre Manufacturers Association (BTMA) recommends that caravan tyres are replaced every five to seven years regardless of the remaining tread depth. The reason behind this is that the rubber compounds found in tyres degrade over time due to factors such as EV exposure, weather conditions and the natural aging process.
This depends on the tyre specification and load. Always follow manufacturer recommendations.
To find the age of your tyre, you will need to look for the DOT code on the tyre sidewall.
This will display a four-digit number code which indicates the week and year of production.
An example of this would be 2119 = 21st week of 2019.
No. Caravan tyres require the correct load rating and construction for safe towing.
