Commonly known as camping tyres, motorhome tyres are designed primarily for mobile homes. Tyre manufacturers make these tyres with specific features to ensure safety while in your trailer.

Since a fully loaded passenger car weighs much more than a conventional car, each tyre has to support a lot of weight. Car tyres must handle higher loads and maintain higher airflow. 

What makes Motorhome Tyres different?

The main feature of motorhome and caravan tyres is their ability to carry heavy loads. Some motorhomes require air pressure levels above the limits of standard van tyres, so choosing tyres designed for a specific car or campervan is important. Always check your motorhome specifications first and ensure you have ordered.

The tyres of a motorhome are inherently heavy, and considering all your travel essentials and luxuries, the pressure on each tyre increases exponentially. Our motorhome tyres are made of reinforced parts, allowing them to operate at higher pressures. This extra rigidity makes for a firm and sturdy ride, giving you greater driving control.

Plus, these tyres for motorhomes use special tread features to improve traction on wet and camping trails, helping you steer faster in challenging conditions.

For How Long A Motorhome Tyres Should Last?

The life of all tyres is limited, regardless of usage or mileage. The tyres in the passenger driven will also age over time. Motorhome tyre components naturally deteriorate from the time they are manufactured, and it is usually best to replace motorhome or caravan tyres every five years stamped new tyres.

It is often difficult to tell how long the motorhome tyre has been on the passenger wheel. As a rule of thumb, if you don’t know the age or condition of the tyre, it’s best to be safe and change it.

How are camping tyres different?

Camping or motorhome tyres are designed to carry heavy loads and handle high pressure; thus, they differ from standard car or van tyres. Here is what makes motorhome tyres different:

Tougher Sidewalls: Camping tyres have more rigid sidewalls and can handle the heavier pressure needed to run a fully loaded motorhome.

Carry Heavy Weight: Camping tyres have a quality that carries heavier weight than regular and standard tyres.

Different Tyre Tread: Camping tyres have unique tread compounds that help you travel through wet campsites and roads.

Checking your Motorhome Tyres

You can check the age of your Motorhome or caravan tyre by the number in the square on the side of the window facing the wall.

If your tyre shows only 3 beads, it was made before 2000 and should be replaced immediately. Additionally, if your tyres are more than five years old, you may want to consider replacing them for safety reasons.
