They are actually 116 load rating if you look at the pics.

Strange, the only camper tyre on their site is the VanContactCamper.They are actually 116 load rating if you look at the pics.

Guess that has replaced the VancoCamper.
Nice clean wheels there . Rest of the van is , think , being held together by the paint .Get yer wheels cleaned.![]()
Because they have to cover their arses ....By the way on the suspension arm bush (I asked twice about this) and they said its fine. Sticking out a tiny bit but nothing to worry about. Why feckin mention it then?![]()
That's absolutely correct. It should be ignored elsewhere and the tyres inflated to match the actual loading on each axle.The tyre pressure stamped on a tyre is a legal requirement for Canada/ North America. To show max pressure allowed.
Nothing else....a mate managed a tyre firm for 40 years.
Still a decent bit of tread on thatBecause they have to cover their arses ....
I try to sort any advisory comments as frankly they aren't going to get better on their own ...
My MOT testers are straight as a die and if something fails ...
It's failed because it's a fail ...
I treat their MOT test as an extra set of eyes over the vehicle that I drive with my other half and dogs in .
As far as tyres are concerned ....
I'd rather not chance a tyre failing on us like it did on the way back from Wales a while back ....
Fortunately low speed and not on the largely 60mph twisty descent from Trawsfndd to Bala road .

These CP tyres do split 116 load rating, replaced with 120 L.R. for extra safety with ain the garage.View attachment 141388
The load index is 116, that tells you what they are rated too, the replacement 121 load index tyres I'm guessing will not have a CP mark and not be 'official' camping tyres as the exceed the maximum allowed for CP construction.How did that happen and how old is it with it being in PSI? I Notice it also says 69 PSI. They are 5.5 bar or 80 PSI on mine. They are rated to 2400kg aren't they?

If your ride is comfortable at 80psi then keep it at that, I found that it was too high when I had campingcar tyres but my van is only 3500kg, I used 55psi front and 60psi rears which I found ideal for me.
My car has three recommended tyres pressures, normal load, fully loaded and the highest setting is for fuel economy, at 80psi you will get less rolling resistance so more mpg.
Last year on our 7000 mile Scandi trip never had to top up the tyres. Had both standard commercial and 'campervan' tyres on vans and have never noticed any differance in having to top them up.I gather one of the other advantages of these tyres is supposedly they lose very little air. The commercial tyres on my old van did. Its an absolute PIA for me checking them or pumping them up.
Must be something else they are lying about then eh?Last year on our 7000 mile Scandi trip never had to top up the tyres. Had both standard commercial and 'campervan' tyres on vans and have never noticed any differance in having to top them up.
