Which camper tires should you choose? Models perfectly suited to campervans.

Campervans differ in their characteristics from passenger cars. Due to their dimensions, they are much closer to vans, although there are also significant differences in both construction and use. As a result, some tire manufacturers have developed models optimized for maximum performance specifically for campervans. Which tires deserve special consideration for use in campervans?

Summer and year-round models perfectly tailored to the needs of campers

Campervan tires are constructed according to the Camping Pneus standard, or CP for short. This type of tire is designed to operate at higher pressures than standard van tires, or C tires. The construction of CP tires provides them with greater resistance to static loads and long-term storage – vans remain in motion, while campers may be stationary for extended periods.

Continental offers summer and all-season tires for campers. The VanContact Ultra Camper is designed for summer use. It's designed to withstand both high temperatures on hot days and heavy rain, ensuring exceptional safety in a variety of summer conditions.

Those who want to use their camper beyond the summer season can consider the all-season Continental VanContact Camper. Its tread utilizes more edges, making it suitable for driving on snowy roads as well – its 3PMSF certification confirms its winter capabilities.

Michelin also offers all-season tires for campers. The CrossClimate Camping model also meets the Camping Pneus standard, and its suitability for use on snow-covered surfaces is confirmed by the 3PMSF certification. The V-Shape tread is optimized for both paved roads and unpaved gravel or gravel surfaces.

Camper tires for the winter season

Unlike summer and all-season tires, choosing campervan models designed for the winter season is much more difficult. Due to the limited winter use of campers, tire manufacturers do not focus on producing winter tires in the CP standard. Therefore, if you want to use your campervan in very demanding winter conditions, such as mountain trips, the only option may be commercial winter tires with the C marking.

If you decide to go with this solution, keep in mind that they are not designed for stops under load. Therefore, after your trip, it's a good idea to remove them from the vehicle and replace them with CP tires. Otherwise, they may deform and quickly become unusable.
