I agree with the other comments - off road, yes. I don't go off road, but do use good quality four season tyres (Michelin cross climate 2). Like the vids btw.
Thank you for your comment! 🙌
They are great tyres if you are driving on wet soft mud a lot but any amount of road or wet/icy smooth surfaces then they are not the one . I do a lot of miles and also do a lot of farm tracks usually towing a 1.1T trailer and boat . On icy roads they are dangerous but reversing down a wet boat slipway i almost lost it , had to unhitch the boat drive to the top of the ramp and pull the trailer up on a long strap . I live in Scotland so do a lot of rough roads but a vans offroad ability will give out before you can get any benefits from the full off road tyre its more about smoothing the ride . I find an all weather tyre with a decent tyre profile is all thats needed and for most people dropping from a 20" to an 18" with a larger profile road tyre is perfect .
Jamie, can you recommend a good all round tyre please?
I've been running BF All Terrains on my T5 for about two years. They're capable on snow, light mud, gravel, and wet grass, etc but they are beyond useless on cold wet tarmac. But here's the thing … they're SO bad on icy tarmac that I don't even think they should be legal. And thats coming from somebody who keeps a very close eye on my pressures.
Love this. Yes off road tyres all the time on your campervan.
😁👍🤙
All season boots for my van, gets me to the places I need to over the greasy stuff.
Yes we agree! 🙌
My lovely home town. Loch Doon is always a favourite place of mines if your ever back that way you should walk down the ness glen walk.it’s right next to the dam it’s beautiful Pack the midge net tho.
Thanks for sharing will keep it in mind if we near there again. 😁
Looks fabulous. Thanks again for taking us along.
Love taking you along. We have lots more travel coming up so you will be bringing you along then as well 😁
@@dubventures Yay I’m planning to do one of your routes on my own as hubby always working. Plus I just love seeing new and beautiful places. Can I ask does your battery enable you to boil a kettle?? Also a toaster?… Thanks
So much going on in this video Tom. Fantastic video yet again. keep them coming.
Thank you for your comment! 🙌
That place is a pure nature. I doubt I could drive up there with my lower suspension but you have made the right decision getting this chunky tyres. Very good video. K 🤙
Hi. Yes it be hard going there with lowered suspension. Thank you for your comment! 🙌
Great video pal. Wouldn't have been going up that track with my lowered campervan. Agree for stuff like that mate off road tyres a must.
Thank you for your comment! 🙌
Brilliant travels guys loved them. X.
Thank you. More to come. 🙂
Amazing video absolutely loved it. That waterfall was lovely. Added to my list of places to visit. Thank you😁
Thank you for your comment! 🙌
I'm getting some bf Goodrich for my Caddy. 215, 75r15 will do. I'm gonna band my steelies too
Brilliant tyres you won't be disappointed 👍
Love your videos, we stayed in the park up next to the castle at Loch doon two weeks ago done a bit of kayaking, Great scenery
Thank you. Yeah was lovely place to camp sounds like you had great time 😃
You two always find the beautiful places 😎 enjoy 🍻
We enjoy it so much. 🙌
Will have to spend more time the galloway forest and look for the castle
Yeah it's lovely that was Loch Doon and Doon Castle 😃👍
That was amazing 🤔
Amazing place. Don't know the name of it or how we found just drove past and thought we would try it just know it's in Galloway forest
Hello Ive spent 10 or more years exploring in my Defender 110 camper, started with COOPERS but soon switched to BF's along with 4x4 capability they were the perfect set of shoes for us in Iceland and Morocco. We have just moved on.. as our aging bodies demand and got a Adria for more comfort for us both. First is.. I have to remind myself what Im driving! and not get in too deep as its only 4x2 drive, and at present on road tyres Hopefully next month will have Bfs fitted. Seeing folk like you go forth in thes huge buses gives me heart ( still feels BIG at the moment LOL) Scotland has always been my "go to" place when on these shores, the camera loves it too. I can understand that you dont give out locations of where you go..otherwise evert t*at would be rolling up..Im the same when I find anywhere special too and the crowd from the various Land rover 4x4 sites often ask me when I offer photos...
Thank you for your comment and information! 🙌
Didn't think your van was a 4 x 4 can't see the point as only 1 wheel drives your van 😉
Its not a 4x4. Thank you for your comment! 🙌
Also, you're in the land of my ancestors. I'd love to visit one day. G'day from Australia.
Hi from the UK. We would love to visit Australia one day too. 😁
We're you not tempted to swim in the waterfall?
Off road tyres aren't worth it unless you have 4 wheel drive, for forest roads normal road tyres will do.
No it's too dangerous to do something like that. You dont need 4 wheel drive for off road tyres at all.
@@dubventures well having grown up on an island on the west coast of Scotland where houses and farms were down miles of dirt roads not many people had off road tyres and typically had standard cars with standard tyres, they seemed to manage just fine. Off road tyres weren't common then, neither were four wheel drives, usually the only ones were land rovers and not many folk had those. Just take it easy and drive sensibly, you'll be surprised where standard tyres will take you.
Had AT tyres on a rear wheel drive sprinter and I was able to drive out of boggy festival fields where every other camper had to be towed out by a tractor. Definitely makes sense for certain conditions. @@TheThedeathstar
Very enjoyable 😊👍
Thank you! 🙂
Right choice of tyres, do you have a air compreser on board, as tyre pressure is the key to getting better traction. 28 psi 4 mud.
12-15 psi 4 sand, 5 psi to get you out of shit.....come to Australia and see what we have to deal with 🙃🤘😎
Can't you say the name of the car park
Nice video, love the sights, keep doing it for those of us that can't.... yet! Hope u don't mind a question on the van. Looking at getting a crafter mwb too to fit out. Can I ask what spec u have and if u were order one again, anything u would get or not get again?
Hi. Thank you for your comment! 🙌 We wouldn't change anything with the van. 🙂
Good video. Thank you for sharing. Brian.
Thank you for your comment 😁
It's a no to off road tyres from me. Different strokes for different folks.
They work great for us as we know we wanted to explore but everyone is different. But they are great. 🙂
Great video you three!
Love the waterfall hate the midges !
Like the collage of pics at the end
Nice to see you LIVING IT ! 👌👍😎
Thanks that road was worth the drive for that waterfall was stunning. Loving life just want to do more. Cant wait go so much planned 😁
those alloys I'm after a set of those can't find them what are they called cheers.😊
Have a look at black rhino wheels you will find there.
forgot what I was going to ask! Do you know hasas there been any development in parking up overnight in forestry car parks? I know they were debating it in 2020, Ive not been up for a couple of yrs
Hi. Alot of them you have to pay to stay there.
What effect on MPG do these have. Seen a lot of mixed answers
No difference at all.
@@dubventures well that’s a new answer haha. Thanks
They look nice, but you don't need them.
Are you saying the company that makes the tyres don't know what they are doing then?
@@dubventures No, I'm saying you live in a country where you can travel 90% of the roads on normal tyres. If you want to do the other 10% just buy an off-road vehicle.
