Not sure these you can,
Winter - Toyo Celsius Cargo
Or summer tyres - nanoenergy.
I prefer a bit more grip tbh.

You don’t need CP tyres if you leave it standing for long periods, you just need to pump up to around 70 psi before leaving it. Then let them down to the more reasonable levels C rated tyres offer once it’s in use again.
Ours (Continental Vancontact 4Season) are 45 front, 60 rear but they are left with the weight off them because we have hydraulic jacks.

This forum does not have one single voice. However, I have been using the Continental Camper tyres (CP) since purchasing my motorhome 10 years ago. They are made for motorhomes and yes you can get much cheaper tyres without difficulty elswhere. My tyres have never let me down and I use the same type year in year out and often down through France in the winter without any issues. If I had to pick anouther tyre I would go for the Michellin Camper tyre.

Intended for Campervans.
Have stiff walls, inflate to higher pressure and give a rough ride. Unnecessary in my opinion. Std van tyres give a slightly smoother experience.

Yeah, the recommended pressures are insane. I have the Continental CP's and I'm considering refreshing them this year. Probably stick with the Conti CP's though. I have Tyron fitted (by previous owner) and I've just installed a TyrePal. The tyre pressures when up and running on the motorway are bonkers

It's a designation given to camper van tyres as they are stronger than the standard trye due to more steel in the tyre. This enables the tyre to be inflated to a higher pressure and as other have said to prevent flat spots when standing stationary for long periods. If the pressure is correct one should not experience a rough ride. I never have,but then again I weigh my exle weights and then put the pressure in the
Tyre that is recommended by Continental for that given axle weight.

I am due two tyres for our motorhome this summer. I have had Continental Vanco Camper tyres for the six years we have own the motorhome running at 60 psi rear 50 psi front. Being based on a rear wheel drive Transit it always seemed a hard ride.
We are away about once a month depending on commitments or appointments so I had wondered about fitting the normal Vanco tyres. I can’t justify buying four tyres so would fitting the two new ones to one axle, perhaps the front until I need two more be a safe option.
The guy from tyres on the drive that fitted the Vanco Camper tyres said it would save me money if I stuck to van tyres but I replaced as fitted when we bought the motorhome not being any wiser at the time.

Thanks for clarifying the 'CP' designation.
So, with that in mind, am I correct in thinking these are a 'CP' tyre with the clue being in the name?

I believe not! I am aware there are two designations one being C the other CP. Make sure your supplier understands you want the CP tyres on and will not accept anything else. Not all suppliers understand the difference and order the wrong type. Put your order request in writing and make sure the CP designation is included and spell it out to him. Also and this is important insist the date of manufacture is less than 6 months old as these tyres have a user life from the date of manufacture. I am on my third set now and once my requirements have been clearly set out, they have always been met.Thanks for clarifying the 'CP' designation.

I've never heard that before. I bet if you go directly to the manufacturer you will get a different figure than that given by a distributer. I also wo der if it would stand up after an accident where the date stamp is found to be say 18 months beyound the recommended change date given by the manufacturer.

Toyo observe are available in 10 ply in some sizes. That’s what CP tyres are.

No, the opposite. Less rolling resistanceIf camper tyres are a heavier build does that affect fuel economy?

If the tyres don't specify for motorhome use, it might cause problems with insurance if something goes wrong.
