Hi,
On the subject of tyres, and whether to use camping tyres or just general tyres,
Can someone give me some advice regarding if my handbook states that the original equipment are "Camping Tyres" and the pressures are 5 bar and 5.5 bar respectively, if I changed from this written specification, would it constitute a modification to the vehicle and as such could it put me in a difficult position with the authorities because I had modified the standard vehicle and perhaps more importantly with my insurance company if I hadn't notified them of the modification.
Most camping tyres can use a higher pressure than their equivalent van tyre, and that raises another issue, if I decided to run with lower pressures than specified in the handbook because the tyres I have replaced the originals with can't operate at the specified pressures, how do I get this information over to the new owners that it would now be dangerous to follow the specification detailed in the manufactures handbook.
Your thoughts on the subject would be welcome
