Just a quick post to let you know that our partner, Tyremen now import steel wheels for Fiat Ducato vans & Fiat Ducato based motorhomes. They have brought in these wheels for both standard Ducato and the Ducato Maxi.
Why have they done this?
Many calls were coming through to the Tyremen offices asking for single wheels due to the fact that many motorhomes are supplied without a spare wheel. It beggars belief that motorhome manufacturers think that it is acceptable to sell a van for £50k + and not supply a spare wheel. I personally wouldn’t fancy trusting a can of repair foam when driving a 4 tonne vehicle over long distances. Many drivers seem to share my opinion hence all the phone calls coming through.
Tyremen will happily supply these wheels as singles and if you were to buy a tyre too then they will happily fit it and balance (free of charge) before dispatching!
During the winter months Tyremen also receive inquiries from motorhome owners considering winter tyres and really wanted a second set of wheels to fit these on. Typically Tyremen only offered alloy wheels and understandably owners wanted a cheaper option. Now with a steel wheel offering drivers can opt for a safe and cost effective winter solution.
Please note that the use of winter tyres on motorhomes on vans is a bit of a hot topic that requires it’s own post, I endeavor to tackle that one later in the year!
In terms of the product that has been imported here is some of the info that you may be interested in:
- European made
- Produced to original equipment standards
- Available in 15″ & 16″
- 15″ load rating 1000kg (per wheel), 16″ 1275kg!
I think that’s all you’ll need to know at the moment, but if you need any further info then feel to get in touch with Tyremen (08456 807 808) or leave a comment on this post.
