I decided to look at replacing the tyres on my 2011 plate motorhome as although there is still plenty of tread left and no visible sign of cracks, etc. I was aware that the recommended life is between 5-7 years.
The first thing I noticed was that the date stamp on my Continental Vanco tyres was 0708 which I take to mean July 2008. This was a bit of a surprise as it means they are 9 years old, not 6 as I originally thought!
Looking online, there seem to be a few tyres specifically designed for motorhomes, amongst the premium brands are the Continental Vanco Camper range and the Michelin Agilis Camping tyre. These retail at around £120 to £140 per tyre but prices vary. The club has been promoting ATS recently but I found the cheapest online price at Kwikfit with Tyreshopper offering to price match the competition. I haven't yet decided which to go for but I thought I'd share this with members in case anyone has any alternative suggestions?
