:shout: On the way to a motocross race meeting and thankfully travelling at only 10 mph through a small village, the rear offside inner tyre decided to peel its tread off. We carry a spare and all the tools needed so we were back on the road in 15 minutes.
All the tyres on my class c RV are Cooper SRM II LT225/75R16 load range 115/112N except the one that lost its tread which was a cheap brand with a load rating of 107/105 ( had not spotted this before, doh). The gross axle weight rating is Front 1950kg Rear 3901kg and the gross vehicle weight rating is 5579kg.
On the Cooper tyres there is only one which has the date of 2004 clearly marked. One other has the following; C3J1602. I have read the threads regarding tyre markings but can not for the life of me find such markings on any of the other tyres.
Advice on how to find the date on the Cooper tyres would be appreciated.
We are off to Italy in four weeks time and I can imagine the damage that could be caused by a tyre loosing its tread at speeds of 60 mph. I have checked the tyres at length and only one looks like it should be changed the others seem fine with no signs of side wall cracking, bulges, cuts or tread degradation. All tyres have on average 5mm of tread left.
I have sourced a supplier who could deliver the Cooper SRM II LT225/75R16 load range 115/112N for just under £100 each then there is the cost of fitting. The question is how many do I replace?
Advice, comments and suggestion would be most welcome.
Thanks Geoff
