120 loadrating on Camper tyres

[Casper46]

I have spent the last couple of hours online trying to find tyres with a high enough load rating to satisfy SVtec, so that we can uprate the MH. Unless I have missed something I cannot find a Michelin or Continental with anything over a 118 rating.
I have been offered Hanook tyres but I know nothing about them. Any thoughts please.
Our present tyres are 225/75R16 with 116 load rating, we need the same size tyres but with a 120 load rating.
If anyone is interested our present tyres have less than 2000 miles on them and we will be selling them.

My Vanco Four Season 2 bought last year have the rating you want. Sorry it's upside-down.

Tyres with heavier load ratings seem to come under Truck tyres

Here's a supplier, there are others of course. The price seems about right for this load rating. The lower rated ones are cheaper.

Try Openeo ..

I have fitted Khumo winter portran
.225 / 75 / 16 /' 121 walls.
done 17,000 miles still got 6.5 mm left. Excellent in snow . Mud . wet grass etc £95 delivered far better than the continentals that were on the mh
Thus is a fiat standard chassis with air suspension mh rated at 3850 but could have taken it to 4000 but causes problems with breakdown cover ...
No problems with ambient temp been high up in the alps and the desserts of Morocco.

@Casper46 I think Michelin do a tyre in the Agilis cross climate at 121 blackcircles have them

I had the same problem and was advised by SV Tech that my 116R load rated tyres would only enable me to up-rate to 4500, which is what I've done. If I wanted a higher rate then the next step would be 119R tyres which would take the weight up to 2600. TRhese are both Continental Vanco Camper tyres.
If I wanted higher then if I fitted 121R ordinary van tyres this would enable the weight to go up to 2700
This is on a standard Fiat chassis NOT AlKo.
Hope this helps.

Nik.

Hankook anytime after I've experienced poor use with Michelin. If they're good enough for parcel vans they'll be good enough for my motorhome. I've covered just over 5000 miles now and the Hankook are much smoother and quieter than Michelin. My previous Michelins all disintegrated after 14000 miles.

You must have been unlucky we have done many thousands of miles on Michelin tyres in excess of 50000 on two vans and never had any problems.

I've Hankooks + winters - Good as gold.

I fitted nexen roadian ct8 on my Frankia they had 121 load rating and were much quieter than the Michelin camper tyres I took off

500 quid for 6 and I done 16000 miles on them in 10.5 months...still looked as new when I sold the van in October

I'm not keen on the hard ride the Michelin's give and Suprised at the high wear rate looks like all 4 will need replacing at around 20k.

 

[gus-lopez]

Even on cars I found Michelin's to have less initial tread depth but lasted just as long as they were far harder ,so giving more noise. Don't know whether they are still as hard ?

I would agree with that low mileage assessment, my fronts are needing replacement at about 23,000. It really surprises me since in olden days Michelin were always regarded as having less grip, harder ride but better mileage. Hard ride nowadays I can't really compare as I have never had a Ducato before, but it does seem on the hard side. On previous vans I had Continentals which were very good for mileage, and prior to that I had Hankooks, which I was very pleased with. So will replace with either Contis or Hankooks, based on price.
