difference between car and van tyres

[satumashirt611]

whats the difference or is there one..guess it might be load but not sure.

[Davy_b]

there is none . load would be it and van tyres prob lower max speed rating but thats it

Commercial tyres would be a much heavier duty higher load tyre. Stiffer side walls I think.

There should also be a C marking for commercial tyres...having non commercial tyres on a van is a DOE fail.
