Upgrading Tyres
I've just bought a 2002 Abbey Safari 520s from friends, It's in lovely condition. I've just had it serviced all fine except tyres are over 7 years old so need to replaced. The existing tyres are 175 R14 99. Load rating for each tyre is 775kg which comes
in at 1550kg total for the caravan. The MTPLM is1500kg.Current recommendations are for 10% safety margin on tyres which makes load rating required for tyres 1650kg total. 825kg for each tyre. Therefore load rating should be 101.
As far as I can see, this requires a bigger tyre and the motor mover will have to be adjusted. Is this correct? Also will a bigger tyre fit?
Many thanks
