Van load and speed ratings explained
Van tyres typically have a C after the rim size on the sidewall — for example 215/65 R16C. The C means commercial. These tyres are designed to carry heavier loads than standard car tyres.
CP-rated tyres are designed for motorhomes and campers with high single-axle loads. XL means reinforced.
Always match or exceed the original load index and speed rating. Fitting incorrect tyres can affect safety, MOT and insurance.
