Choosing van tyres: C marking, load index and season
What the C marking and dual load index mean, and which Landsail van tyres are available.
C marking
C (commercial) after the size, e.g. 215/65R16C, indicates a van tyre. These tyres are built for higher loads and pressures than a car tyre of the same size.
Dual load index
For example 109/107: the first number applies to single wheels, the second to twin wheels (dual fitment). Choose at least the same index as permitted for your vehicle.
