Caravan and motorhome tyres have unique requirements. Just Mobile Tyres supplies and fits specialist leisure vehicle tyres across Northamptonshire.
Why Caravan Tyres Are Different from Car Tyres
Caravan and motorhome tyres have different requirements to standard car tyres, and using the wrong specification can be genuinely dangerous. Caravan tyres (designated CP tyres) are designed for the specific loading characteristics of a caravan — the high static loads during storage, the different weight distribution in tow, and the centring forces experienced during cornering. They are built with stiffer sidewalls to resist the pendulum forces that can cause snaking, and their compounds are formulated for the irregular, low-mileage use patterns typical of leisure vehicles.
The age of caravan tyres is particularly important. Because caravans often cover very low annual mileage, tyres may appear in good condition with plenty of tread but be several years old. The rubber degrades through UV exposure and oxidation during storage, making older tyres susceptible to sudden failure. Most caravan manufacturers and tyre experts recommend replacing caravan tyres every five to seven years regardless of tread depth.
Our Mobile Caravan Tyre Fitting Service in Northamptonshire
Just Mobile Tyres provides specialist mobile tyre fitting for caravans and motorhomes across Northamptonshire. We carry CP-rated caravan tyres in common sizes and can fit them at your home, storage site, or club site. This is especially convenient for caravan owners who do not have the equipment to remove and transport their caravan tyres to a garage.
We can also check and advise on motorhome tyre condition, including the correct pressure settings for different loading conditions. If your caravan has been in storage over winter, we recommend booking a pre-season tyre inspection with Just Mobile Tyres before your first trip.
