A van or truck off the road costs your business money by the hour. Here's how our commercial vehicle mobile tyre fitting service gets you back on the road faster.
Light commercial vehicles — Transits, Sprinters, Movanos, Trafics — are the backbone of the UK's delivery, trades, and service economy. When one breaks down with a tyre problem, the cost extends well beyond the tyre itself. Missed appointments, delayed deliveries, engineer downtime — the indirect costs add up quickly.
Commercial Vehicle Tyre Challenges
Vans and light trucks put different demands on tyres compared to passenger cars. They're heavier when loaded, they're often driven by multiple drivers (not all of whom treat the vehicle with the same care), and they may cover high annual mileages on varied road types.
Commercial vehicle tyres are rated differently to passenger car tyres — they carry a C (commercial) or LT (light truck) designation and have higher load indices to cope with the rated payload of the vehicle.
Fitting the Right Tyre
Using a passenger car tyre on a light commercial vehicle is a common mistake — and a dangerous one. The load ratings are simply insufficient for a fully loaded van. Our mobile tyre fitting team carries appropriate commercial-rated tyres for the most common vans used in West Yorkshire.
Priority Response for Commercial Vehicles
We understand that van downtime is particularly costly. When calling about a commercial vehicle, mention this to our team — we prioritise commercial callouts and can often provide emergency tyre fitting and roadside assistance faster as a result.
Fleet Contracts for Van Fleets
If you operate a van fleet — whether five vehicles or fifty — a managed tyre contract with Vantage Mobile Tyres means regular inspections at your depot and priority 24 hour call outs for your drivers. Contact our fleet team to discuss rates and service levels.
