Continental Vanco-10 with increased load bearing capability

Continental Tyres have expanded their Vanco 10 tyre range for mobile homes and heavy vans to include a new tyre size - 195/75 R 16 C 110/108 R.

Continental is currently the only tyre manufacturer to offer this tyre size with a load bearing capability of up to 1,060 kg. It is this capability, which makes the new Vanco-10 tyre size a particularly safe option for owners of heavy mobile homes, who might encounter problems with overloading should they fit tyres with a lower carrying capacity.

Mark Hopkins, Product Manager, Continental Tyres, comments:

"This is an exciting addition to the Continental Vanco 10 tyre range. So far, there have been few options available to owners for heavy mobile homes with size 195/75 R 16 tyres. This tyre will allow them to increase the tyre pressure thus reducing the risk of under-inflation."

The new Vanco-10 tyre size offers not only higher inflation pressures, but also additional load reserves. The Vanco-10 size 195/75 R 16 C 110/108 R offers 85 kg more load bearing capacity than the standard tyre. Theoretically, with balanced axle loads a vehicle can then carry up to 340 kg more load; with twin tyres the figure would be 470 kg.

The Vanco-10 size 195/75 R 16 C 110/108 R is suitable particularly for mobile homes on Iveco Daily, Fiat Ducato and Citroën C25 bases. It can however also be used as a refitment size for vehicles with other bases.

The Vanco-10 is now available in the following sizes:

• 195/75 R 16 C 110/108 R
• 205/75 R 16 C 113/111 R
• 215/75 R 16 C 116/114 R
• 225/75 R 16 C 121/120 R
