CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE
Types of tyres fitted
The tyres fitted by Bailey Caravans are suitable for towing at sustained
speeds of up to 81 mph (130 kph) to allow for use in countries which
permit this speed.
Radial and cross ply tyres should never be mixed. It is dangerous and
can cause snaking. Fit only tyres that are of the identical specification on
each side.
Tyre Wear and Damage
The legal requirements for tread depth (1.6mm) on motor vehicles apply
also to caravans.
In order to equalise wear it is suggested that wheels be balanced and
changed around from time to time. Caravan tyres will usually deteriorate
from atmospheric effects long before they wear out.
It is dangerous to neglect tyre damage. Should you detect a blister, rupture
or cut exposing the casing, or if it has suffered a violent impact (for example
against a kerb), such that there is a risk of internal damage, it is advisable
to have it examined by a tyre specialist as soon as possible.
Warning: The caravan industry recommends that, for safety reasons
tyres more than 7 years old from the date of manufacture be replaced,
but preferably replaced at 5 years old. The tyres may have deteriorated
by this time, regardless of tread depth.
The cleaning of tyres should only be carried out using soap and water.
Petrol, diesel, paraffin and other solvents are not suitable.
Tyre pressures
Caravan tyres should be at the pressure recommended in the handbook
Page 144-147. The towing vehicle tyres must be at the pressures
recommended for towing or heavy loading. Towing stability may
