Following annual inspection and service I need to replace two tyres on my 3 year old caravan. The date marks indicate these tyres are in fact 5 years old. They are marked as Trailer Only and have worn far more than I would have expected fro the miles towed.
Tyre markings are 185 R14C 104 and these characters do not fit too well with the sizing boxes on the various tyre suppliers websites i have tried, which ask for a ratio or profile number and have confusing characters for speed rating.
I want to replace them with better quality tyres and understand that for use in France these need to have a speed rating corresponding with the maximum speed allow on French autoroute - which I had understood to be the letter R
I am also having trouble finding a company which will fit at my home - Black Circles have no agents near by. Inspection showed a bulge adjacent to the rim on the inside face of one tyre and cracking deep in the tread of the other.
I would much appreciate any guidance to decoding the numbers to suit the boxes on websites, and also any suggestion for suppliers who will fit at home. I have email enquiries out with Quickfit and National.
