When to replace your caravan tyres
Signs of wear and damage
Before setting off, it’s worth giving each tyre a quick visual check. Look for cracks or splits in the sidewall, as these can be caused by sunlight and weather exposure or even by running with low pressure. Uneven tread wear is another warning sign and could point to an underinflated tyre or wheel alignment issue. Any bulges on the surface could suggest internal damage that can’t be repaired, and even a small puncture or piece of debris lodged in the tread could cause a slow puncture. If you notice any of these issues, the safest option is to have the tyre inspected and replaced if necessary.
Tyre age and the 5-year rule
Tyres naturally degrade over time, even if they look like they’re in good condition. The British Tyre Manufacturers’ Association (BTMA) recommends replacing caravan tyres every five years, regardless of tread depth. They also recommend never using tyres older than seven years old.
You can check the manufacturing date by looking for the DOT code on the tyre sidewall. For example, 2118 means the tyre was made in the 21st week of 2018. If your tyres only have a three-digit code, this means they were made before 2000 and should be replaced immediately.
In the example above, the manufacture date code is 2118 - where 21 denotes the week of manufacture and 18 represents the year. So this tyre was made in the 21st week of 2018.
If you find your tyres only have a 3-digit number this means they were manufactured before 2000 and should be replaced immediately.

FAQs - Caravan tyres
The easiest way to confirm your caravan’s tyre size is to check the markings on the sidewall of your existing tyres. This will be shown as a sequence of numbers and letters (e.g. 185/70 R14), which indicate the tyre’s width, aspect ratio, construction type and wheel diameter. You can also find the manufacturer’s recommended size and load index in your caravan’s handbook. Using the correct size is essential for safe handling and stability.
Even if they have plenty of tread left, caravan tyres should be replaced every five years and never used beyond seven years from their date of manufacture. You can find the manufacturing date in the DOT code on the tyre sidewall. For example, 2118 means the tyre was made in the 21st week of 2018. Tyres with a three-digit code were made before 2000 and should be changed immediately.
The correct pressure depends on your tyres, as well as your caravan’s size and weight. You’ll find the manufacturer’s recommendation in the owner’s handbook or sometimes on a sticker inside a cupboard or near the door frame. Always check your tyres pressure before each trip, when the tyres are cold. Incorrect inflation can cause poor handling and excessive wear, not to mention a greater risk of a puncture.
Yes. Motorhomes and campervans often require tyres designed to carry heavier loads than standard car tyres. They may also be optimised for greater stability on vehicles with higher centres of gravity. Many tyre brands offer dedicated ranges for these vehicles, and our technicians can help you choose the right model for you based on your load requirements and travel plans.
