Off-Road Campervan and Motorhome Tyres in Ely | Hometyre Mobile Campervan and Light Commercial Tyre Replacements

What now seems like a distant memory, the recent pandemic created a massive influx in caravan sales – but also in van sales but not for the reason you expect. Coupled with the rapidly increasing housing prices and social media promoting off-grid living, a large number of people are now purchasing and converting vans to campervans to live outside of traditional means and to live off-grid. One of the big advantages with a campervan/converted van is that you can pretty much go anywhere! As long as your tyres and driving skills are up to the challenge.

Tyre manufactures have taken note of this market sector increase and have started to produce off-road tyres in sizes to suit campervans and motorhomes. We recently went out to a young couple in Ely to install a set of Cooper Discover 225/75R16 tyres as they were planning on travelling through the Scottish Highlands and camping in the wilderness, of which these tyres will be perfect for!

Cooper, an American brand, is not a particularly common brand in the UK with the equivalent being Avon. Being owned by Cooper, Avon tyres share similar history with roots in road, track, and off-road racing of which they implement into their public production tyres. Although under a different name, Avon tyres are still similar to their transatlantic cousins.

But Cooper isn't the only off-road tyre manufactures. With BF Goodrich, Maxxis and even Michelin starting to enter this market, there will be some fantastic products hitting the market soon! 

So, if you’re in the market for fitting off-road tyres to your camper, need help with van tyres in general or have encountered a puncture, give us a call on 0333 444 5454 or head online here to find your perfect tyre!
