Don't worry mate, it's not as bad as most of us make out, and there are some advantages of being married
lol hope not I've only been with her 16 yearsDon't worry mate, it's not as bad as most of us make out, and there are some advantages of being married
Don’t make the same mistake once
a month ago I had reassembled the rims with the Nokian Weatherproof because I made a trip with a lot of highway .... today I could not resist, I put back the rims with the BF K02 ... they are too strong, I seem to be like a child but ', but that's fine,' I have fun and I have time to waste to get my hands dirty .. I do it for more '50 years, when I worked out the engine of my first Vespa hahaha
I love tyre writing, it almost seems old school to me. Not sure about the Blue or Red, but the rest looks cool.
I totally get this, as I really like both looks too. After seeing a few full-on Swampers on Seikels, they look awesome. I can see where Tourer is coming from, as in an ideal world, swapping between the two when you fancied or conditions dictated would be perfect. This was the first pic I saw which made such an impression on me, I stored it !!
Really smart....what size wheels and tyres?
Hi
I am new to this forum and will be collecting a 2nd hand Caravelle next week. I was looking for a 4Motion but could not find one so plumped with 2WD for the first time in over a decade, previously a Land Rover person.
I often go in to fields and down farm tracks so I am hoping that a good tyre and the traction control will be enough for my needs to drag me through any gloop. I will not be mud plugging just potentially slippery surfaces.
Can anyone recommend a suitable tyre? I am considering the Michelin Cross Climate + SUV tyre that says it is 10% off road.
Thanks

Read the long long long thread now and what a load of choices. Having had Defenders I am well used to debates on tyres, I had no idea it would be similar on the T6 forum.
Although many questions answered I am still debating with myself what is best for me. I am leaning towards the Michelin CC+ SUV at the moment but I have also used they Latitude Cross on a Freelander 2 that were very good as well.
Can anyone answer how good the Traction Control is on a FWD T6? might help me decide.
Thanks

Whilst the Michelin CC SUV is a very good all rounder, it does have a high road/performance bias, and tends towards the summer end of the spectrum.
If you want a higher void ratio for better off-road use; and better snow use; then I would tend towards the Nokian weather proof SUV; better off-road/snow/deep water; not as good for dry summer handling. For a van its a superb tyre imo.
What size wheels do you have; because the Michelin agilis CC, is a superb tyre all round with larger voids than the CC-SUV.

I have tried to work out how often I actually go off road in mileage terms - it is about:
93% on tarmac or gravel
5% farm tracks
2% grass or similar
A couple of times a month I will be driving and parking in fields so I need something with some grip but not a full All Terrain tyre. On my last Defender I had Cooper AT3's which a more road bias and they were fine, but this car will be 2wd..
This is why I was thinking Michelin CC+ SUV which state they are good for 10% off road but of course they don't define off road!
Years ago I had Pirelli Scorpion STR tyres that were great, just wish they still did them
Still pondering
