hi,how old is the tyre???? think you will find in the last 6 years at least 8 ply tyres are fitted to all new caravans as far as i'm aware???
You can get a VERY rough idea of what you need by taking your MTPLM, adding about 30% and dividing by 2. This will give the max loading per tyre. I do not know your van but guess the MTPLM is around 1300 kg and probably 175 x 14 tyres are fitted. Therefore a possible tyre load will be about 775 kg and this requires 8 ply commercial grade tyres.
However, either check with the dealer or Swift before you buy anything to make sure you get the correct ones.
