tyres

When I last put some new ones on my van I used  etyres they came to the house, I took the wheels off of the van ( my choice ) the tyre fitter then removed the old tyres, fitted the new tyres & balanced them, I then re fitted each one & re torqued each wheel .......  

Kwikfit do the same tyre cost plus £20 for home fitting only £20 regardless of how many tyres - had two on the car at the same time.

I have also used e-tyres for both the caravan and the car. Their website is pretty good for looking for tyres suitable for caravans as they show reinforced tyres and load ratings. So even if you don't buy from them you can at least get an idea of what is available.

Thanks for the recommendation of etyres. 

We plan to replace our caravan tyres before we start again in March and this website is handy to know. 

I use my local tyre fitter, he gets them in for me when I require them.

Same. Local tyre fitter, our nearby local village fitter who really does specialise in regular car and high performance tyres and all kinds of regular tractor and commercial vehicle and trailer tyres at prices that Kwikfit and others never beat.
Plus he balances caravan wheels without being asked.

For years I used a local tyre supplier but I found they had no continuity. Also most don't have much in the way of tyres suitable for caravans. That is the beauty of the likes of etyres, there is lots of info online and you get an excellent range from budget to premium and they come out to you. Etyres are sort of local anyway because it is a franchise business with dealers all over the place.

I had the dealer fit replacement tyres during it annual service.

I always use a local independent, maybe I'm lucky but although he keeps little stock, he can get almost any tyre in inside a couple of hours, also knocks the likes of etyres into a cocked hat on price, ie, my Michelin Sport3 car tyres 245x18/40, etyres £220, Ben £145!, no contest then and I don't tell him what price he needs to better either, first prices he gives always beats any other I've found.

I had my caravan tyres fitted at costco.  I went mid afternoon during the week, so they weren't too busy, and parked towcar and caravan in the carpark.  I jacked the caravan up (my choice, they were happy to do it) one side at a time without even unhitching.

Get the new tyres balanced - if makes a big difference.
