Have you checked your caravan tyres recently?

Hi all, 

having not been able to use our caravan much so far this year we booked a site as soon as we could.  Went and brought van back from storage and started to give it a good clean as always.  then a friend across the street asked me if I'd checked the tyres
I said no not yet why?

He then said I would get new tyres before going anywhere with that and when I looked I was horrified to see the the side walls were badly split.  So as my friend is a tyre fitter he said with all this hot weather and the road temps at about 120 degrees this
is happening to alot of caravans that have been stood for a while.

So please people make sure your tyres are in good condition before you set off.  

I went a day later because of getting new tyres.  I would rather lose a days holiday than risk losing mine and other peoples lives...
