Hello
Looking for some help please. I need to replace the tyres on my 2019 Troll 540GT but am struggling to find the correct size to order. The van is currently fitted with the original Barum VANIS 2 tyres with specification 185 R14 C 102/100 Q. As you can see, there is no mention of the tyre profile!

Does anyone know the correct profile or where I can find it out please? I have looked quite extensively so far without success.

Thanks

Bob, you will find it is an 80 profile. Often when you use the on-line outlets drop down menus the profile does not come up on this size, probably due to the "C" for Commercial rating.
In May of 2023 I spent considerable time searching for the best tyres I could find. These Falken had the best combination of Energy and wet rating that I could find:- https://www.okehampton-tyres.co.uk/tyres...-van01-18580r14
The problem you will come across is getting "fresh" tyres. MyTyres has a sub menu that offers 2025 guaranteed tyres, but the range is usually small:- https://www.mytyres.co.uk/dot-2025
If you can get a company to fit on your drive it is a lot easier for you. I no longer have this option as we live in rural Devon.
Most fitters/outlets do not usually have advance notice of tyre dates before arrival as stock can be coming from many different warehouses. The better outlets may have access or will be able to advise upon the date when the tyres arrive in case you wish to refuse them.

I had brand new tyres (made 11/2024) fitted to my 2016 Troll in April when i bought it from Highbridge Caravans in Somerset.

They fitted Maxxis Vansmart MCV3+ 185R14C - 102/100R tyres. they have now done 600 miles or so with no issues. They are Light Truck Tyres - says on the sidewall :-)) - and are made in China. I run them at 50psi, as recommended.

Just for info - I'm sure Colin's advice is much better. I had no choice about the tyres fitted by the dealer.
