Caravan and Motorhome Tyres Across Hertfordshire and London

We hold a big selection of tyres for caravans, campervans, and motorhomes, and our caravan tyre fitting brings the whole lot to your door. Whatever you tow and wherever you're headed, we'll match you with the right rubber so those long journeys stay safe from start to finish.

There's a size and load consideration too. Caravan tyres are frequently a smaller rim diameter than car tyres but carry a much higher load rating for their size, so picking the correct specification isn't guesswork. Tell us the make of your caravan and read us the full code stamped on the current sidewall, something like 195/70 R14C, and we'll match it exactly on width, profile, rim size, and load index. One call is all it takes to get sorted.

Need New Caravan Tyres? Our Mobile Fitters Come to You

Tyres are one of the few parts of your caravan standing between you and the road, so keeping them in good order is non-negotiable. The snag is that fitting them the traditional way eats your time, especially when hauling a caravan to a fitting centre isn't remotely practical, and plenty of storage sites won't even let you move a unit without notice.

That's the whole reason caravan tyres mobile fitting exists. Rather than dragging your outfit across town, our mobile caravan tyre fitters bring the service to you, at home, at storage, or at the campsite. We arrive with a jack rated for the weight, the correct torque wrench, and a balancing machine, so the job is done to the same standard you'd get in a workshop.

We match your caravan with tyres suited to its weight and use, fit them correctly, balance each wheel, set the pressures, and check the whole lot over before we leave. We'll also cast an eye over the spare while we're there, since a perished spare is no use to anyone when it's needed most. For hassle-free caravan tyre fitting across the region, you're in safe hands here.

How Do You Change a Caravan Tyre Safely?

Changing a caravan tyre is a bigger and riskier job than swapping one on a car, so having a plan before you set off is worth its weight in gold. Carry the right tools, a jack rated for the caravan's laden weight, a wheel brace that fits, and a torque wrench, and keep a pair of gloves and a hi-vis in with them, because you'll be glad of all of it when a tyre lets go miles from anywhere.

Caravans need extra care compared with smaller vehicles, both for your safety and to avoid damaging the unit. The single most important point is where you place the jack. Lifting under the chassis rails or the axle tube at the manufacturer's designated jacking point is safe; jacking anywhere else can bend the axle or crack the floor, an easy and costly mistake. This is a serious task with genuine risks, and it pays to treat it that way.

Run through the basics before you lift anything. Make sure the caravan's handbrake is firmly on and the unit is still hitched to the tow car, so it can't shift. Chock the wheel diagonally opposite the one you're changing to stop it rolling, and switch the hazard lights on so you're visible. Loosen the wheel nuts a quarter-turn before you jack, never after, because a raised wheel just spins. Once the new tyre is on, lower it and torque the nuts to the caravan maker's figure in a star pattern for even clamping, then recheck them after roughly 25 miles.

It's well worth practising a change at home rather than learning on the hard shoulder in the dark, and having an experienced pair of hands alongside you helps enormously. Honestly, though, the simplest and safest option is to let professionals handle it. Our mobile caravan tyre fitters do this daily, with the proper jacking points, torque settings, and equipment to do it right the first time.

What Does Mobile Caravan Tyre Fitting Cost?

Mobile fitting for caravans generally runs somewhere between £100 and £250, though the exact figure depends on a handful of things. Chief among them is what you tow and the size and type of tyre it needs, since a small single-axle tourer and a large twin-axle van sit at very different ends of that range. The fairest way to get a real number is to call us with your details.

Brand and specification move the price too. A premium tyre from a major manufacturer costs more than a budget equivalent, but on a caravan that may sit loaded for long spells, the better casing and ageing resistance often earn their keep. We'll talk you through where it's worth spending and where it isn't, rather than pushing you up the range.

If you're not confident tackling a caravan tyre replacement yourself, and plenty of sensible people aren't, a trained technician does it quickly and safely. The beauty of mobile fitting is that you skip the whole business of dropping your vehicle off and collecting it later, because we come to you instead. In an emergency, that convenience turns into a genuine lifeline. We remove your damaged tyre and fit a fresh one at home or at the roadside, even when a flat has left you unable to move.

Booking into a garage usually works out dearer too, since you're effectively paying towards their premises and their name over the door, costs a mobile caravan tyre replacement simply doesn't carry. Factor in the fuel and the lost day you'd spend towing there and back, and the mobile option often comes out ahead before you've fitted a single tyre.

Are You Legally Required to Change Caravan Tyres?

Your caravan tyres must be able to carry its gross weight and must hold a tread depth of at least 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre and right around the circumference. Fall below that and you're both unsafe and breaking the law, with penalties that can reach a heavy fine per tyre and points on the towing licence.

Caravan tyre pressures deserve just as much attention as tread. Because caravans stand idle for long stretches, correct caravan tyre pressures stop flat-spotting and uneven wear, and they should be checked before every trip while the tyres are cold. The right figure comes from the caravan handbook or the plate on the A-frame, not the number on the tyre wall, which is only the maximum. Under-inflation is the leading cause of caravan blowouts, since a soft tyre flexes, overheats, and eventually fails, often at motorway speed with a full load behind it.

Here's the catch that surprises many owners: caravan treads rarely wear out, but the rubber still degrades with age. A caravan covering low mileage can reach its tread limit years after the casing has quietly become unsafe. Buy a used caravan with wheels over five years old and a replacement set is often the wise move, regardless of how much tread is left. Ageing is the real enemy here, not mileage.

Are Caravan Tyres the Same as Van Tyres?

People often assume caravan and car tyres are interchangeable, and they aren't. A caravan carries a heavier, more sustained load, frequently over longer distances, so its tyres have to cope with weight that would trouble an ordinary car tyre. Many caravans also run on tyres carrying a specific "CP" marking, which stands for caravan and pleasure vehicle, designed with stiffer sidewalls for a single-axle or twin-axle load that sits on one point for months at a time.

They do share a lot with van tyres, which also carry reinforced casings for heavy work. The thing that really counts isn't the badge on the sidewall but the load rating. Always check your caravan maker's recommended load index before buying, so you never end up with tyres that can't safely bear the weight. Fitting a higher load index than specified, on the other hand, isn't usually necessary, and can occasionally give a harsher ride without any real benefit.

Looking after caravan tyres isn't the simplest task going. They face ageing, UV hardening, and, if neglected, sudden failure, which is the last thing you want mid-journey with your family and your belongings in tow. That's why a replacement every few years is sensible even when the tread survives, and why the best caravan tyres are the ones matched properly to your caravan's weight and axle layout rather than just the cheapest on the shelf.

A dependable mobile service offers both quality and value, without pushing you toward tyres that don't fit your needs. Bring in a technician before a flat catches you out, because a good tyre, correctly fitted and correctly inflated, is the foundation of a safe trip. When you want the best caravan tyres fitted without fuss, we're ready to help.

How Long Do Caravan Tyres Last?

Even tyres that look perfectly healthy need replacing on a schedule, because age matters as much as appearance. Once they pass seven years, replacement is strongly advised, and many owners sensibly change them every five years regardless of tread. The reason is simple: rubber is a perishable material, and a tyre that has spent years bearing a static load in all weathers is weaker than its tread suggests.

Visible damage is another clear prompt to act. Look for fine cracking along the sidewall, known as crazing, along with bulges, cuts, or any distortion in the tyre's shape. Plenty of minor defects can be assessed by a technician, who'll tell you whether a repair is safe or a replacement is the honest answer. With good care, some tyres reach ten years, but anything five years or older deserves close attention, particularly on a high-mileage outfit or one stored outdoors.

Every caravan tyre carries a DOT code on the sidewall, and the last four digits reveal its manufacture date, so you can check exactly how old yours are. The first two digits are the week and the last two the year, so "2419" means the 24th week of 2019. UV exposure speeds up deterioration, and all rubber stiffens as it ages, losing the flexibility that keeps it gripping and sealing. Since caravans sit idle so often, slipping breathable covers over the wheels while stored is a cheap, easy way to shield them from the sun and stretch their life.

Keeping an eye on age, damage, and caravan tyre pressures together is the simplest way to know when a caravan tyre replacement is genuinely due, rather than waiting for a failure to make the decision for you.

Is Mobile Tyre Fitting Safe?

Mobile fitting keeps you, your family, and everyone else on the road safe while costing you the least possible time and effort. When money's tight or the diary's full, limping on with worn or damaged tyres can feel tempting, but it's a false economy, and on a caravan the stakes are higher because a failure at speed can jackknife the whole outfit.

Driving on tyres past their best endangers you and your passengers, and it can land you with a fine, penalty points, or worse. Our mobile caravan tyre fitters take that risk off the table by making replacement genuinely easy, with the work done wherever suits you and to full workshop standards. Every wheel is balanced, every nut is torqued to spec, and every pressure is set correctly before we leave, so nothing is left to chance.

Life doesn't leave much room for garage trips between work and family, which is exactly the gap mobile fitting fills. You get quick, straightforward repairs and replacements as and when you need them, so you're never rolling around on tyres that can't do their job. For caravan owners in particular, that means no wrestling a large unit through town traffic just to reach a fitting bay.

Many mobile fitters, ourselves included, also run an emergency service that slots around your day rather than derailing it. Once you factor in the time, the fuel, and the garage premiums you save, the numbers stack up better than you'd think. Safer tyres, less hassle, and often a lower bill is a combination that's hard to argue with.

Caravan Tyre Fitting FAQ

How do I check the age of my caravan tyres?↓

Every tyre has a DOT code moulded into the sidewall, and the last four digits tell you when it was made. The first two are the week of the year, the last two are the year itself, so a tyre reading "3120" left the factory in the 31st week of 2020. It's worth checking all of them, including the spare, because tyres bought at different times age at different rates. Once any of them passes five years, keep a close eye on the condition, and by seven years replacement is the sensible call regardless of how much tread is left.

What tyre pressure should my caravan run?↓

The correct figure comes from your caravan handbook or the manufacturer's plate, usually mounted on the A-frame or inside a locker, and not from the maximum stamped on the tyre wall. That maximum is a ceiling, not a target. Always check pressures when the tyres are cold, before you set off rather than after a run, since warm tyres read higher and throw the figure out. Getting caravan tyre pressures right is one of the simplest things you can do to prevent a blowout, because an under-inflated tyre flexes, overheats, and fails under load.

Can you fit tyres while my caravan is in storage?↓

Yes, and it's one of the most popular ways people use us. We come to your storage compound and fit the new tyres on site, so there's no need to hitch up and tow the unit anywhere. Just clear it with the storage site beforehand and let us know how to access the location. Fitting fresh tyres before the season starts means you set off on the right rubber with no last-minute scramble the morning you leave.

Do I need to replace all the caravan tyres at once? ↓

TNot always, but matching matters. Ideally the tyres on the same axle should be the same make, model, and age so they wear and grip evenly. If one tyre has failed and the others are recent and sound, replacing the single tyre is usually fine. Where the whole set is several years old, changing them together is the wiser move, since fitting one new tyre alongside three ageing ones leaves you exposed to the older three failing anyway. We'll give you an honest assessment rather than selling you tyres you don't need.

Can a caravan tyre be repaired, or does it need replacing? ↓

It depends entirely on where and how bad the damage is. A small puncture in the central tread area can often be repaired safely to the recognised British Standard, but any damage to the sidewall or shoulder means the tyre has to be replaced, because a repair there won't hold under load. Bulges, cuts, and cracking along the sidewall are all replacement territory too. Our fitters will inspect the tyre and tell you plainly whether a caravan tyre replacement is genuinely needed or whether a repair will see you safely on your way.

How much notice do you need to fit caravan tyres?↓

For a planned change we can usually book you in quickly, and it helps if you have your tyre size and caravan details ready when you call so we arrive with the right stock. For emergencies, we aim to reach you as fast as possible, since a stranded caravan needs sorting there and then rather than tomorrow. Either way, one phone call gets it moving, and our mobile caravan tyre fitters will come to your home, your storage yard, or the roadside to get you back on track.
