Hi Gazza

They are (I think)

Dunlop SP2

165mm tread (165)

Radial (R)

13 Inch Wheel (13)

Load Index 91 = 615Kg (91)

Reinforced with a speed rating of 105mph (R)

Manufactured Mar/April 2000 (1400)

As far as the 5 ply goes, I think 8 ply is normal for caravans see HERE

If you update your location, you will get some suppliers relevant to where you are.

Strange that 5ply is printed on the tyre as all the rest of the information is the same as for a 6ply 'C'ommercial tyre, not 'reinforced' that's a different type of tyre construction with a lower weight carrying capacity, (86), for this size tyre.

You should be looking for a pair of replacement tyres that can carry 10% more than the maximum weight of your van, ie, the tyres you have 'can' carry 1230kg but advice is a maximum of 1110kg when fitted to caravans.
