White wall tyres for VW Type 2 camper

Get the right retro tyres

To complete that retro look for your Type 2 VW camper you need some whitewall tyres, but you can’t just fit car tyres and hope for the best. Uneven wear, insufficient load rating and actually illegal in many countries are just some of the problems when doing so. Step forward Vintage Tyre Supplies of Beaulieu which has launched the first commercial white wall tyre, specifically designed for the VW Type 2 camper. Specifically, it’s this: 185R14C (102/100R) 8pr, 25mm white wall van tyre by Duramax.

The new 185R14C was specifically developed for commercial vehicles; it has an increased load capacity making it capable of loads up to 850kg per tyre.
