Set tyre pressures when they’re cold
Heat changes pressure. Check before you drive, not at the servo.

How it works
What happens when you book
- Check what you’ve gotTyre size, load rating, age (the DOT date) and wear pattern. Many caravan tyres are replaced for age, not tread.
- ChooseWe recommend by where you tow. Bitumen tourer and gravel-and-beach off-roader need different tyres.
- Fit and balanceFitted, balanced and torqued. Pressures set for the van’s actual loaded weight.
- AdvicePressure guidance for bitumen, gravel and sand so you don’t have to guess.
Signs you need this
Book in if any of these sound familiar
- Tyres older than five or six years, whatever the tread looks like
- Cracking in the sidewall or between tread blocks
- Uneven wear across the tread
- A bulge or flat spot after storage
- A blowout on the last trip (check the other side, it’s usually the same age)
- Heading onto gravel on highway tyres
When to book. Replace tyres that show cracking, uneven wear or low tread, and check the age of tyres even if the tread looks fine.
Workshop
Caravan tyres in Murray Bridge
Murray Bridge Caravan Centre supplies and fits caravan and camper trailer tyres, including light truck and all-terrain tyres suited to river tracks, gravel and long bitumen runs. We fit, balance and torque in our own workshop and set pressures for your actual loaded weight.
Caravan tyres fail more often from age and under-inflation than from wear. If yours are past five years, show sidewall cracking or wear unevenly, book in before the trip rather than at the side of the Flinders Highway. A wheel alignment at the same visit stops the new set wearing the way the old ones did.

DirectionsWhy replace tyres that still have tread?
Caravan tyres age out before they wear out. Sitting in the sun and only being used a few weeks a year hardens the rubber. Most manufacturers say five to six years maximum.
Light truck or passenger tyres?
Light truck (LT) tyres have stiffer sidewalls and higher load ratings, which suits most caravans. We match the load rating to your van’s ATM.
What pressure should I run?
It depends on the tyre and the load on it, which is why we like to weigh the van. As a rule, less on gravel and sand, back up for bitumen.
