Winter Wheels And Tyres On !!!

[Craigsom]

All opinions welcome good or bad as I’m not 100% sure yet !!!

Like the wheels. Are they noisy though? Looks strangely good!

We have jack all snow - still think pointless expense ha

There is some tyre noise (I was expecting that) but not as much as you would imagine

 

[Jimmi]

Do they rub on the arches when steering or on bumpy roads?

They are not really winter tyres, but will be good in deep show.

Winter tyres have many sipes in all the blocks and tread surface.

I had BFGs but as my off-road choice, summer set and full winter set. The swapping can get tedious so have now dropped the full summers for a set of all season ATs but would still purchase a dedicated winter set like Nokians or Vredestein if I used it as a daily drive.

(edit) Just for clarity, I'm not dissing your choice of tyre as they are my favorite off-road tyre, I just didn't want the uninitiated to think these were a full winter tyre in places where they are really needed.

They look mad . . . . Like it.

Never bothered with the whole summer winter swap thing myself.

Though I'm sure those tyres would be great in snow Etc . . . . I Recon they will wear out super quickly in normal inclement weather or the dryish autumn weather we have now.

I like them, although the suspension needs raising!!

 

[VWROBERT]

They look ok, love split colour of your van

Which all season AT tyres do you use?

Looks good but I was told BFG A/T are no good in the snow by an off road fanatic, he says the big gaps in the tread get filled with snow and become useless, don't know how true this is?

Michelin Latitude Cross

Have you ever seen real offroads with snow tires ...? ... maybe the BF are not the best on the ice but on the snow what problem can it be? .... I will try them this winter ...

Agree with that, looking into it

No rubbing , they are close but all ok
