Four New Aplus Tyres for a Caravan in Burnley

With the spring flowers starting to bloom, we are seeing more and more people enquire about tyres for the caravan or motorhome. With all commercial tyres, we try to get the youngest tyres possible. But, we only know the date codes once they are delivered to us. Upon delivery, we call the customer to relay the information. This customer had noticed their tyres were starting to crack as they were nearly ten years old (!). They gave us a quick call and we got them booked in at their preferred date and time.

Much like cars, caravans have specific jacking points under the sub-frame. Before jacking, we asked the customer to ensure everything inside was secure as, sometimes, the caravan needs to be jacked quite high on one side in order to remove the wheel. With everything in order loosened the nuts then lifted the caravan and installed a jackstand to support the weight whilst we lifted the other side. The nuts were then taken completely off and the wheels completely removed. One by one the wheels were placed on the turntable in our van where we broke the bead, removed the old tyre and installed the new 175/65 R14 APlus A867. This caravan did not have Tyron bands fitted but, if it did, we have all the tools and training needed to remove and re-fit them during the installation process of the tyre!

The freshly coated wheels were then popped back onto the caravan. It was then lowered back down onto the floor where we could torque the nuts to the correct setting.

If your caravan needs new tyres, a Tyron Band or even a puncture repair, don't heistate to give us a call on  0800 783 9310 or send an email to info@hometyre.co.uk!
