What Makes Commercial Vehicle Tyres Different?
Commercial tyres are engineered to carry heavier loads and withstand demanding usage. Compared to car tyres, they feature reinforced sidewalls, higher load ratings, and stronger ply construction – vital for performance and safety.
One key detail to spot is the ‘C’ in the tyre code (e.g. 235/65 R16C), which indicates a commercial-grade tyre. You’ll also find a load rating like 115/113T and ply rating (e.g. 8PR) marked on the tyre.
Example:
- 235/65 R16C – size ending with ‘C’ for commercial use
- 115/113T – tyre load index
- 8PR – ply rating (durability level)
We can help identify the right tyres for your vehicle based on load capacity, road use, and performance needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are commercial tyres?
Commercial tyres are specifically designed for use on vans, trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles. They offer increased load capacity, reinforced durability, and are suitable for the demands of business and commercial driving.
How long do commercial tyres last?
The lifespan of these tyres depends on usage, vehicle type, and maintenance, but they typically last between 25,000 and 50,000 miles. Regular checks, correct tyre pressure, and wheel alignment help maximise their longevity.
What’s the difference between commercial and normal tyres?
Commercial vehicle tyres are specifically built to handle heavier loads and longer journeys. They have reinforced sidewalls, higher load ratings, and stronger ply construction than standard car tyres. This makes them more durable and suitable for demanding business use.
Can Martins Tyres fit large vehicle tyres on-site?Item #4
Yes, our mobile fitting service is fully equipped to handle large vehicles, including vans and light commercial vehicles. We bring all necessary tools to your location for a safe and efficient fitting. This service is available across Surrey and nearby areas.
Do commercial van tyres cost more?
These tyres often cost more due to their enhanced strength and construction. They’re made to last longer and perform under heavier loads, which justifies the price. Over time, their durability offers better value for money compared to standard tyres.
Can you repair a commercial tyre?
In many cases, yes. Commercial tyres with minor punctures can be safely repaired if the damage is within the tread area and not too extensive. Our technicians will inspect the tyre to determine if a repair is safe and cost-effective. If not, we’ll recommend a suitable replacement to keep your vehicle roadworthy.
