Its generally suggested 5-6yrs. Tyres can perish & also standing still for long periods don't do much for them. When you consider most car tyres are worn out & replaced within 3yrs its probably good advice.

yes we have a bailey and when we wanted tyres of the size above.they were next to impossible to find on the net.the tyre size yes but not the loading of 92N.finished up with these and pleased with them but the pressure was changed.from 42 to 38 psi.
195/70R14 95N BRIDGESTONE SF226 RF at £79.67 each

------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
So true Firebasher, having experienced a blowout on the motorway(UK) and a puncture in the depths of rural France- both on new vans- we must do what we can to stay safe.
Anyone looking thought to ring a local independent tyre fitter?
My guy in Nottingham has consistently beaten the internet by a wide margin with his first price, not his second!, so give them a try.
Two other things, always insist on balancing, second, if you currently have 195/70R14 95/6 then don't waste money on these obsolete under rated tyres, change to 185/75R14C 102 or 185R14C 102, or even 175R14C 99, all more suitable and a darn sight cheaper!
You will though need different tyre pressures and I can tell you what this should be

tried that gary round here,QF and NATIONAL and two others were £10 per tyre more expensive when i was looking.i am all for supporting local dealers.plus a mobile dealer was able to come to my house and i did not need to move the van and he can balance them too.a bailey dealer part number 1140040 wanted £111 each plus fitting .wow.

unbalanced wheels can also shake your van to bits and make wheel nuts loose.
