Mobile Caravan Tyre Fitter?
Ive just discovered that my 8yr old caravan still has the original tyres fitted Shocked Im aware that they should be replaced every 5yrs or so regardless of condition.

Im considering using etyres to supply, fit & balance. Mine are currently Hankook RA08's 175/14 and seeing as they are still in great condition at 8yrs old Im tempted to buy the same again.

Anyone used etyres before?

( I understand the load rating should be the caravans MTPLM + 10%, then divided by 2. And they should be 8ply)

Yes I could do, but im lazy. And my caravan is currently sat on my drive which is on a slight slope. ideally I need the landie to be hitched up so the van doesnt roll forwards. I was thinking a mobile fitter would be a much easier option.

Thanks amondeggs Thumbs Up Just rang etyres and they have quoted Hankook 175/14 RA08 at £80 each fitted, valves & balanced. These are 8ply and load rated at 99/98 and speed rated as Q. Not bad I thought.

Seeing as my Hankooks still look in great condition at 8yrs old I may as well buy the same again?
