Can anyone confirm what is best tyres for this VW?
1989 VW Caravelle Carat

And where best to buy near Worthing West Sussex?

Im Not sure if I can recommend them because I haven't drove my van yet but my van came with carat wheels with 205/70/14 on them.

Assuming you still have the original alloy wheels, then as stated 205/70R14 is the correct size.
Semperit are the only quality European brand still making them, the rest are far eastern brands with varying degrees of quality.
If you go for the Semperit you need the 205/70R14 98T XL, load rating for the correct axle load. Unlikely any tyre dealer will have them in stock in your area they are not a common size now days, but they should be able to order the ones you want.

I just bought 4 no of the stated Semperits from MyTyres.co.uk. They had to bring them in from Austria, which might be the nearest to Worthing that you will get any!

How much were they for all 4 ?

Hi,
Total sum: 294.40 GBP. That's tyres delivered. You then have to have them fitted, and balanced, and VAT etc.
