I don’t think you will see many reviews on those tyres, if there are any they will invariably be by owners, who as long as they’ve not been in a ditch rate them as great.

I cannot see that Kwik Fits ownership has any relevance to the tyres in question, especially as they are being supplied by Black Circles.

This might help selection
Tyre load index ratings explained and Tyre load index chart
Tyre load indexing showing the maximum load a tyre can carry according to the load index shown on the sidewall of the tyre.

Perhaps if Kwik fit are owned by a Chinese company then they perhaps retail Chinese tyres,wonder if they wait for customer reviews that haven't been I ditches too ?

There are so many tyres made in China even by well known brands. Most premium brands have a lower priced subsidiary that might be made in China or elsewhere. I’m sure Chinese drivers don’t want unreliable tyres any more than we do. But I’d stay with a recognised brand or their sub brand. On a caravan integrity of the tyre is paramount, and not the last degree of road holding. I liked GT Radial ST4000 or ST6000 trailer specific tyres.

There’s something very wrong , wong, here.
According to my research
Kwik Fit was a U.K. company but now owned by the Japanese Itochu Techno- solutions Corporation based in Minato Coty , Tokyo, Japan.
To add more insult to injury the Japanese firm is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, an American based conglomerate.
Not sure where the Chinese connection comes into it? There again most things on sale in the U.K. seem to come from the PRC😜

I had a set of Wanli on a 2002 Mondeo. They were beloved of German taxi drivers. Only had one bum clenched. My fault.
