Tyres usually have their size moulded into the sidewall - once you know that Google the internet for price/availability

Hi I the guess the unit you have purchased is second hand and you may not have seen all the sales information and warnings.

These "A frame" mounted movers are fine on solid and most importantly level ground, but they do have limited grip and as such if the caravan is on a slope the jockey wheel can loose grip and the caravan can move uncontrollably representing crush and colision hazard to people and things in the vicinity. Even worse in damp or icy conditions.

Basically if you feel you could not personally stop or hold a caravan on a slope, then its unlikely your mover can do it either. That's why so many of these movers are offered for sale secondhand.

If you must use it, use it with extreme caution. I would suggest you consider cutting your losses and save for a road wheel mover which have far more control and safety.

If you zoom in on the photo of the tyres it shows them to be, 2.5 X 4.00

If you have purchased it and never used it I would not waste my money on tyres. .About 15 years ago I went into my dealers who were very close to where I lived and had a very good relationship with them as had bought several caravans from them over the years. This used Hitchdrive was propped against the wall. I asked if it was for sale and told just take away. On trying it out,I see why it had been P/Xd with a caravan and they did not want it. Bought a proper mover and the Hitchdrive I took to the tip. Had proper movers ever since.
