I own a VW camper that needs some new tyres.

The current ones are 195 R14 C, but when I enter the details to get a quote off the net they want to know the aspect ratio too.

Can anyone tell me what the aspect ratio is?

Thanks for looking.

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the tyre's height (i.e. wheel rim to tread) over the width

If the ratio isn't quoted, the standard aspect ratio is 80

Think you need tyres rated for vans on that, 8 ply?

This is what I've ordered. C rated. Commercial?

I've used www.tyre-shopper.co.uk , seems like a good deal. Anyone had any experience?

Good prices plus 10% discount for getting all 4 done. Lots of fitting stations too.
