How to Choose the Right Van Tyres
Understanding your current tyres is key to keeping your van safe, stable, and performing well under load. The markings on the sidewall provide important details about size, construction, and capacity. For example
- 205 shows the tyre width in millimetres
- 65 indicates the aspect ratio, which is the height as a percentage of the width
- R represents radial construction
- 16 is the wheel diameter in inches
- C identifies a commercial tyre suitable for vans up to 3.5 tonnes
You might also notice XL for Extra Load or LT for Light Truck, depending on the type of van you drive and the weight it carries
We make sure your van has tyres that match the load you carry, the roads you travel, and the safety standards you expect.

Van tyres should be checked regularly for tread depth, cracks in the sidewalls, bulges, or uneven wear. UK law requires a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm, but for safety and performance, we recommend replacing tyres when the tread is under 3mm. If you notice vibration, pulling to one side, or reduced grip, it’s time for a tyre check. At our Glasgow garage or through our mobile van tyre fitting service, our technicians can carry out a full inspection to ensure your vehicle is safe on the road.
