C-rated and reinforced van tyres sourced to your size and load index, then fitted at your home, yard or site. Price confirmed on the call, pay once the job is done.
Van tyres are built to carry weight. Most vans run commercial tyres, marked with a C after the size and a load index that matches the van's axle weights. We source budget, mid-range and premium van tyres to your exact size and load rating, then fit them at your home, your yard, a customer's site or a safe roadside spot.
The markings after the size tell you how much a van tyre is built to carry, and they are what we match when we source a replacement.
In a size such as 205/65 R16C, the C stands for commercial. It marks a tyre with a reinforced casing, built and tested to carry heavier loads at higher pressures than a car tyre of the same size. TyreSafe warns that car tyres are often not suitable for vans.
Van tyres usually show two load indices, such as 107/105. The first is the maximum load per tyre on a single-wheel axle. The second, lower figure applies per tyre when fitted as twins on a twin-wheel rear axle. On Michelin's worked example, 107 means 975kg per tyre and 105 means 925kg.
The letter after the load indices is the speed rating. In 225/65 R16C 112/110R, the R stands for a maximum of 170km/h. Match or exceed the rating in the handbook.
Car-sized vans, such as a Citroen Berlingo or Renault Kangoo, are not always specified on C tyres; some use XL or Reinforced car tyres. The handbook and door placard decide, and if they only give a load index, that is the figure to meet.
Our guide to van tyres, load ratings and the law covers pressures and twin-wheel axles in more detail. If the sidewall is hard to read, send us a photo on WhatsApp.
It depends on the miles the van covers, how heavily it is loaded and what a day off the road costs you. We give options in each tier on the call.
The label covers light commercial (C2) tyres as well as car tyres. Fuel efficiency runs from A, the lowest rolling resistance, to E. Wet grip runs from A, the shortest wet braking distance, to E. External noise is shown in decibels with a class from A to C. For town work, protect the wet grip grade first; for long mileage, a better fuel efficiency grade adds up over a year.
Rather than booking the van into a depot, we bring the tyres and the equipment to where it is parked.
Yards, depots, customer car parks, sites where we have permission to work, driveways and residential streets, or a lay-by well away from traffic. We need room to park beside your van.
We never work on a motorway hard shoulder, refuge or emergency area. If a tyre fails there, get to a place of safety and arrange recovery; once the van is off the motorway, we come to it.
Light vans follow the same rule as cars: the Highway Code requires at least 1.6mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the tread and around the whole circumference. Tyres must also be inflated to the manufacturer's figure for the load being carried, and many vans have separate laden and unladen pressures. If you manage several vans, our guide to fleet tyre management sets out a simple routine.
An electric van carries a heavy battery as well as its payload, so getting the rating right matters even more.
Our guide to electric van tyres covers wear and regenerative braking.
No account and no garage queue.
Read the size from the sidewall, for example 205/55 R16 91V on a car or 205/65 R16C 107/105T on a van, and send it with the registration and where the van is parked. Mention twin rear wheels if it has them.
We confirm the options in your size by tier, budget, mid-range and premium, and the full price on the call before any work. A realistic arrival time is agreed at the same time.
The fitter comes to the van, fits and balances the new tyres, sets the pressures and torques the wheels. Old tyres are taken away.
You pay once the job is done. New tyres carry the manufacturer's warranty.
