Looking great Mel I've had them on my van for over a year now They are good in all weather wet and dry I put mine the white side out like a proper van tart👍👍
Nice! I will be looking at a similar tire in a few years. Good for me/Bad For me, the Auto shop that I bought Dobby from put 4 brand new regular road tires on him... I went and priced it out to upgrade from 15" rims to 16" wasn't bad about $250 (would need 5) but another almost 800 for the tires. Not horrible but they are fine for now but a little extra ground clearance, and better traction because I will also be traveling through fields and such... eventually. Safe Travels!
Aww nice one Mel, I'm currently watching this while laying in bed in the van. I've finally got the bed in and its so comfy. 😁 I'll defo get some of those types, look awesome 👍
Great looking tyres Mel. Will Green Laning be a topic in an upcoming video? Such a lovely, warm parting handshake with Charlie at the end too.. Good job he's in your 'bubble'...🤣🤣
Hi Mel, hope you are keeping well mate. I was on to you some time ago about how your all terrain tyres were working on your van and what you think after 2 years of use. You might try include as much info as you can, ie economy, performance, comfort, reliability etc. it could help me to decide when my tyres are due to change. They look well on a campervan but there are a lot more important things to consider first. I do about 24 k km driving every year in my van. Many thanks and keep up the great work you are doing. 👍
One dosnt just put wheels on and do them up with a windy gun. Should be nipped up and torqued to appropriate setting. It just not safe🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴🌈🙏🏼💙❤️💙❤️
I’ve already been on a beach that I would never have gone on without them I did have a worry moment when they started to dig in but all was ok 👍 thanks for positive feedback and your support really appreciated 👍🤓👍
@@BigVanSmallWorld you must have some dosh you mel u always buying somethink nice good tyers u got on now hey mel you just need label now saying dont come knocking when mels van is rocking
I’m after a lift kit for my Citroen Relay and some nice chunky tyres like yours. I have to save some serious pennies though, and get the inside finished first. Ignore the trolls as per mate. Your vids are great 👍🏻 🚌
Mel’s Van World morning chap, you shouldn’t need to know about tourqueing them up the company should do it for you. And then invite you back after 30 miles to recheck. Stay safe my friend🚐☕️☕️👍🏼🏴🌈🙏🏼💙❤️💙❤️
It’s a torque gun, granted it looks like and sounds like a windy gun but it is not, you can set it to 240nm and it’s an expensive piece of kit that any decent garage would have.
Hi Mel love your videos Watching when you open your van door your table do you have a video about it? As I have to make a table like it Thanks keep up the good work
Now they are beefy tyres. Nice clean tyre fitters, the lad that does mine looks like he has had his overalls since his apprenticeship. Which he started in 1986 😆😆. Hope you washed your hands after shaking hands 🤔. Stay safe 👍
Never, *ever* judge a mechanic by their clothes or look. (l have surprised many a client over the years by my *work* , not my look, and they've become friends & repeat clients, bringing in their friends as well) Don't be a Posh spice girl.
mel now you have ad these tyrs on for over a year or so have you noticed enything diffrent in running wise fuel mpg noise as ive ad every sprinter out there since 1995 but i have never thought putting big rubber on the rims they look the winner i will say . at the moment im getting around 32 to 34 mpg mwb same as yours fully loaded just wondering wot sort off mpg u getting on a long run be nice to have a geniune responce as u always give detail and no lies :)
Hi mell those Tyers look great mate .Will there be any more road noise being chunky tyres it would be interesting to know. The wheel trims look good as well thanks for the video. Keep on keeping on Kevbo
Mel, I have 235/65/R16 wheels and tyres fitted to my van, do you know if I can fit 235/70/R16 tyres to my van? or what size wheels / tyres did you have?
Hi Mel. Time for new tires on my Ducato .... wondered if your tyres before KO2 were 225 wide and if you chose the wider 245 for your new KO2s to improve grip, load handling etc? They still pass MOT so must be legal despite extra width! Are they less fuel efficient? Cheers!
You will have to do your own research on what tyres are suitable for your van I’m afraid as for fuel it’s not something i worry about as it’s beyond my control 🤓👍
I'm trying to work out if my neighbours spare set of x-type jag alloys will fit my Transit Mk7 ....stud pattern ....offset..... weight capacity : so many numbers for my little brain .
Ian HJ I don’t know where you got that information from because they don’t on my van but then my van is automatic and it’s 6 stud not 5 I’m not sure if that’s anything to do with it 🤷♂️
Nice one Mel, I wish I could afford something like those but current bank balance says a big no no and will be a long time saving. Have fun not getting stuck in the mud.👍😊
Thanks Mel I’ve been thinking about changing my tyres , mine is front wheel drive and has loads of torque so it’s very easy to spin the front out . Rochester is not that far , they used to do the chimney sweep convention, maybe with your brush you can get involved in that next year.

Hi Mel. Van is looking great !! I have been interested in these tyers for a while. Have you noticed any difference in fuel consumption and road noise please ? Cheers Chris.
DrRideWell… no noticeable increase in noise but economy went down from 29mpg to 21mpg on my Crafter :-( They have noticeably less traction too - pulling out of a T junction easily leads to front wheels spinning
Mel did these tyres fit the original Mercedes steel wheels or did you need to get bigger 1's. Also what size tyres were originally on your van . Cheers
Mel,, now you have your tyres for a while now, how do you find them,,, I'd like to go down this route in the future as well., do u get a lot of road noise
Well done Mel , those tyres look great! I have the same van which I have recently converted and now looking to fit a pair of these tyres. Could you tell me if the 75s on your van rub on full lock? And are you still happy with the tyres? Many thanks Justin
hi Mel, love the channel as always , where did you but your tires from (the black text ones) how do you find the road noise and do they hit the wheel arch on full lock? Thanks SD
Awesome tyres ♥️ still need to get these for my crafter :( was there deer in price? I really thought you had brand new alloys put on too :) wow those wheel trims look amazing ♥️
Hi thank you the tyres cost me £700 and wheel trims was just under £30 so quite an investment but I did need new tyres and I got a credit card so though go for it 👍😂👍
Mel’s Van World good old credit cards 😂 yeah good buy bud. I saw a company that supplies five tyres on five alloys for about £1400 to£1500 but I rather pay what you paid :)
@LOUi TUBE According to tyresize calculator website 0.6" bigger assuming 235 to 245-75-16 and minimal speedo difference. Also I think for the Transit mk8 its a different story. 235--65-16 to 245-70-16 or 245-75-16 causes issues and no official recalibration offered.

Investing in some locking wheel nuts might be a good idea Mel... It wouldn't be nice to find your van jacked up on bricks minus it's wheels and new £700 tyres... remember what happened to your catalytic converter??? Some people will happily steal the sleep out of your eyes...
I know several people who have bought those tyres, and are impressed with them. It’ll be another couple of years before I need to change my Vango’s. They’ve been great, and touch wood, I’ve never been stuck anywhere. ‘Spose there’s drivers and drivers.😳. More likely, I’ve just been lucky. I’m considering going up to 16inch rims. At my time of life, I think twice about buying green bananas.

Hi Mel, I hope you're on the mend buddy! Wishing you well! Apologies if you've answered this already, but... ...Load Rating - I've got a 2015 Sprinter 313 LWB and I really want to fit BFG KO2's, not just for the cool factor, but i do get down some muddy lanes sometimes here in Wales. My local tyre shop can get them for me but they were concerned about the load rating. The standard load rating is 115, but the KO2's are 102 as far as I can tell. They said that this might cause insurance issues in the event of an accident. What are your thoughts on this? Is there a KO2 with a higher load rating? Also, if you don't mind, have you had any issues going from 235-65-16 to 245-75-16, a fatter, taller tyre? Any difference for gearing, handling, and MPG? Sorry for the long-winded question mate, it's a £750 investment and I want to get it right, or not do it. You seem pretty clued-up about van stuff, thought I'd throw this at you and see what comes back! Thanks in advance!

alright mel ! you need to torque them there wheels up mate ! not just hammer gunned on .
Oh I didn’t think about that thank you 😊
we had torque-specific sockets at our Shop...
what you see *may not* be what you think

The tyres look great!.... you really need to loose those "toy town" wheel trims though Mel lol
agreed, needs some moon discs
Why? Tyres were a performance upgrade, rims would be a £1000 cosmetic upgrade...

They said that this might cause insurance issues in the event of an accident. What are your thoughts on this? Is there a KO2 with a higher load rating? Also, if you don't mind, have you had any issues going from 235-65-16 to 245-75-16, a fatter, taller tyre? Any difference for gearing, handling, and MPG? Sorry for the long-winded question mate, it's a £750 investment and I want to get it right, or not do it. You seem pretty clued-up about van stuff, thought I'd throw this at you and see what comes back! Thanks in advance!
thank you
