Light commercial vehicles need C-rated commercial tyres designed for the heavier loads vans carry. Substituting a passenger tyre with a similar width is dangerous and almost always invalidates fleet insurance. Stock for the most common van sizes is excellent and same-day fitting is usually realistic.
Always specify a C-rated commercial tyre, never substitute a passenger tyre
Heavy-load all-season options (Michelin Agilis Crossclimate) are now widely available

FAQs about tyres for vans & light commercial
C is short for Commercial, indicating the tyre is built for the heavier loads vans carry. The casing is reinforced and the load index is much higher than a standard passenger tyre of the same width and profile. Always fit C-rated rubber to a van.
No. Passenger tyres are not constructed for van loads and using them is dangerous, illegal in many cases, and almost always invalidates insurance. We will always quote like-for-like commercial rubber.
Yes. We routinely attend yards, business parks, and depots across Essex and Suffolk so van fleets do not lose a working day. Just confirm access and we can fit during the day or out of hours.
