I'm thinking of replacing my 2004 Coachman Amara caravan tyres to 185 x 14 Light Truck

My tyres currently are 2008 vintage.

The originals are a 175 x 14 Light Truck tyre. This was fitted on the Amara version . . . the "entry" level of Coachman caravans. These tyres have a lower load rating, being 10mm narrower than the 185 x 14 tyres.

The Pastiche ("mid range") and VIP ("luxury" level) Coachman caravans run a 185 x 14 Light Truck tyre, with slightly higher load rating.

Same rim size as the Amara, slightly different tyre widths.

What's the law in Britain with tyres?

Down Under, you can legally run a 10mm wider or narrower tyre than originally fitted for that rim size.
