- In this vlog we are taking a light-hearted approach to the contentious issue of whether, or not, motorhomers should be putting all terrain tyres on their vans. Are they a good idea or not?

All season or all terrain tyres are a great idea , peace of mind for all occasions, thanks for the great video and your thoughts
And thank you David for your positive comment, much appreciated 👍

As a solo FEMALE camper in a 7metre van I decided to swap my tyres for Goodrich all terrain 15 months ago. I saw all the negative comments but went ahead anyway. I've noticed no difference in road noise or mpg. Speedo now registers correctly. It's given me the confidence to drive in all conditions, and I've driven off many muddy fields where others have had to be towed out. So it's a big tick from me!
Keep up the hood work, love your videos.
Hi Merina, you’re another example of why this upgrade is so good 😊 we done for not succumbing to the Facebook pundits!!
Thanks for watching 👀
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
You are so right on all aspects. We’ve done 15000 on our all terrains and love them.
Cheers for watching 👀 👍
Great video and well put across
Cheers 🍻 much appreciated 👍

Hello dear 2,we are French camper user and we thought that the bad and rubbish comments were just on the French "market" 😂😂
But, as far as I understood in this video 😂, the f.. B.. exist as well in England!! 🤣🤣🙃!!
Please try to put the under title, it could be easier for us🤟. Even I can translate the general idea to my husband 😅
Take care, and keep going like you are 🤩🚌. Deborah et Stefan

We agree completely. Never had any problems even at -9 in Turkey in the snow. Love all your videos guys, keep up the good work 🥰
Thanks Vanda, much appreciated 👍 Turkey is on our “list”, sure we’ll get to it someday, so much to explore!!
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Very informative and useful information as we will probably switch to all terrain ourselves for our MH. On another note we did have a good chuckle watching this one. Keep it, great content 😉
Thanks for watching 👀 Carol, glad you liked the content 😌 you’ll find the all terrain tyres proper good, just like Andrew!! 😂
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Totally agree with you we have Bf Goodrich KO2 . Keeps us legal in the mountains and gives us confidence when the going gets a bit mucky
And it really is as simple as that Paul, can’t believe the keyboard warriors make such a big fuss, I think there’s an element of jealousy 🤢
Thanks for watching 👀

Hi Andrew and Jane, good info on your video. I’ve also got the 15” original wheels n tyres. Been thinking of upgrading to the 3 peaks with a16” wheel. Where’s best place to get the wheels? Am I looking at a big expense?
Cheers Ray and Pam
Ps Happy travels
@@Ray-ts6pp hi Ray and Pam, I went to Elite Wheels and Tyres in Reading, very helpful guys. Your looking at circa £1250 for a wheel/tyre package and then sell your old ones on Ebay. We did a vlog about it, link below.
Thanks for watching 👀

We upgraded our new motorhome wheels and tyres: here's why

Great review👍
I agree, just need to wear out the Michelins first 😂
Keep up the good work 🎉
Sandpaper will help!😂
Thanks for watching 👀
Brilliant 😊
Back at ya! 😛
Cheers 🍻 for watching 👀

Couldn’t agree more! Was very skeptical when my husband wanted to put BFGs on our 7m MH but have to say everything you say is true - wouldn’t go back now (and the look cool 😂)
Cool is the priority 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 👀 Fay
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Totally agree, we loved ours. We bought them for the same reason as yourselves, Geography.
Just love the keyboard warriors.
Thankyou for sharing. 🙂
FB is full of commentators without substance and I feel it’s putting people off benefiting from a simple upgrade. So couldn’t resist a light hearted dog…😂
Thanks for watching 👀
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
With them impressions I thought I was watching the return of mike yarwood 😂😂😂, you should know that FB is the fountain of all knowledge 😂😂😂, you could get the FB lawyers after you now for having fun at someones expense 😂😂😂, let's be fair half these motorhome owners wouldn't even need tyres, as most seem to sorn them from Oct to April , and the rest boast how they have a 27 year old motorhome and it only has 2400 miles on it 😂😂😂 they could use wooden tyres😂😂😂, personally never used them tyres so can't comment, but if I went to Lapland I would, and they do look very smart, im sure you could get a zillion miles out of them, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.
😂😂😂some great observations Stephen, we try not to get involved in too much Facebook debate but some of the ridiculous stuff I’ve heard lately is unreal, putting people off. Anyhoo, back to counting our gazillions 💰💰😂
Thanks for watching 👀
Hello my sweet friends. Andrew was a hit on this video. I got such a giggle out of watching him. But honestly he was great explaining about tires and such. Love you two.
Ahh thanks Mary, lovely feedback 👍
Hope your feeling a bit better? Look after yourself
A,J & B 🐶
Useful video, as in the market for new tyres and want 3pmsf type, had not considered all terrain before watching this, so will now have a look for some. Cheers from Burnley.
Hi Mark, thanks for watching in sunny Burnley 🌞 😂
What do you mean when you say “considered alternating”??
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
@@Eurosully autospell correct .. meant all terrain 😂
Haha instantly subbed from your intro!
Hah, cheers, although it’s all downhill from there 😂
Cheers for watching 👀
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Good content, each to their own choice.
Thanks for watching John watch👀
Yes, each to their own, you’re either an all terrain boy or an original equipment boy 🛞👍

I run A/Ts on my T6 and would not use anything else now.
Good call, I’ve had these on for 10k now. Been to Nordkapp (snow, ice and -14 for mile after mile) and driven on wet tarmac as well as sunny and dry tarmac, I will never use a “normal” tyre again. No handling, noise, fuel economy or ride issues at all. 🛞
Thanks for watching Richard and for feeding back, much appreciated 👍
Andrew, Jane and Buddy 🐶
@@Eurosully There were many reasons i went to A/Ts and wont go back which are all the ones you mentioned except probably the biggest reason is the state of the roads and wanting a stronger and deeper tyre to protect my rims and suspension against hard knocks and pinch punctures.
Totally agree 🤩🚐we run bf goodies KO2 tyres on our sprinter van in Australia they perform well in all conditions especially on the rocky roads where standard road tyres would get shredded by rocks , very versatile, negligible mpg loss no more road noise and they also look cool 😂😂🚐great video guys all the best from Australia 🚐🤩
Thanks for the feedback guys, it seems a contentious subject when it doesn’t need to be. Most of the “contributors” don’t appear to have had any real experience of the tyres themselves, typical!
Enjoy your vlogs very much too, keep loving your best van life👍
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Thanks for this blog. We are newbies so to speak, weve had our blimp for a year, done a few short trips in England and Wales. We will be full time very soon, so always looking for tips and advice, which you do provide in buckets😂 We have been talking about upgrading our tyres, hubby knows what we have now as I am a WOMAN😂 I must pay more attention to him when he his trying to explain this to me. But seriously this vlog answered our thoughts so I know what we will be doing. You two are fab, entertaining and always on our wavelength Thank you❤
What lovely feedback, thanks ☺️ Going full time will be ace, maybe we’ll bump into each other on some naughty parkup 👿 the men can talk solar panels and lithium while the ladies talk about baking!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching 👀 and if you ever need advice give us a shout, we’ll always help if we can.
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
@@Eurosully see how lovely you both are. Thank you, and yes I really hope we do bump into each other not literally though
Brilliant vlog, loved the comedy part but a serious topic, totally agree with everything you said. The wife agrees as well😂
Always important to get the Mrs to agree, Jane always agrees with me, as I am always correct 😂😂
Thanks for watching 👀 guys, and for the lovely feedback ❤️
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Thanks for a great honest video of your findings and thoughts. Very useful and will definitely be something we will consider when we need to replace our vanco continental tyres. Did you travel to Elite at Reading? And I suppose if you are bringing your old wheels and tyres back it will have to be a trip down and back for that one purpose?
Hi, yes, Elite at Reading, went when we came back from a trip. From Calais on our way home. We sold our old alloys and tyres on EBay and got £850 so only £400 ish to upgrade wheels and tyres.
Thanks for watching 👀
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Off topic but just thought I'd mention we are in Belgium getting our dog an eu pet passport and recently you stayed in veurne, it looked good so we are currently on the camper park and as like you find it a cracking place to stop 👍oh and not a zillion miles😂😂 from the ferry back.
Sounds ace Stephen, glad our vlog is of use to someone. We love that parkup 👍 Veurne is a quaint town too, with some nice beers 🍻
Enjoy your trip 🚐 😀
Hi
Great video.
Can I ask, is your motorhome front or rear wheel drive? (Guessing front).
I don't have a motor home but a converted hyundai i800 van, it's rear wheel drive and I've gotten stuck a few times even on waterlogged grass pitches.
Luckily, there has always been kind bystanders keen to help...
I've been looking looking at going down the route of off road tires to help, after watching this, I'm now convinced it's the right way forward.
Thanks👍
Hi, it’s a front wheel drive. Tricky, as most weight is over rear so don’t always get max traction. The AT tyres help 🛞 but not the same as on a car or a 4x4. I nearly got out, the tyres were good as in, they got moving in reverse but then went down into a real soft boggy bit. I would have been just sat still spinning with the old tyres. Was easier to let the farmer tow us out than recover ourselves, which I think we could have easily done with those tyres and a lower pressure with traction mats.
If you look at our latest vlog, you’ll see what I mean, we get stuck!
Cheers 🍻 for tuning in 📺
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
I am TIRED after watching all that. I am ready for an ice cream..lol. 😂
Cheers Ian, 🍻 we’re a little tired after reading your comment😂😂😂 🍦
Tjanks for watching 👀

Brilliant video, I've purchased these exact tyres, can I ask what tyre pressures you run, I know each van is different but just looking for a rough guide
Hi Stephen, thanks for your positive feedback, and congratulations on your new tyres 🛞 😂
I run my manufacture recommended, which is 79 psi rear and 72 psi front. This is very firm, a bit thrashy, although better than the previous 15 inch wheel tyre combo from the factory. A lot run them at 65r 55f, but not tried it, yet. I have a TPMS system from factory, which is set to 79/72 and no easy way to reset to different pressures. So for now I’m staying standard but may well have a play in future if I can put up with a permanent warning light!! Or if I find someone local to sort the TPMS.
Cheers 🍻 for watching 👀
Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
@@Eurosully Thank you for the reply Andrew (Jane & Buddy) luckily I don't have the TPMS on my motorhome, I had set them around the factory recommendations for the motorhome initially but found it a little vague on the motorway so I've dropped them slightly and it drives a lot better. Thought I'd ask the guru as it was this video that made me buy the tyres 😂.
All the best for your future travels and your path to becoming a RUclips gazillionaire Steve & Hayley👍
@@stephendonegan6619 when you’ve run them a bit, fine tuned the pressures, and are happy with them, will you let me know. Would be good to have some genuine experience from someone 👍🍻
@@Eurosully I certainly will 👍
Hi Andrew (Jane & Buddy) so I've done a fair few trips now on the new wheels and tyres and covered a good variation of motorway, A roads and B roads I've set the front tyres at 50psi and the rears at 54psi and its a lot more settles on the road and doesn't feel sketchy or twitchy on the motorway especially when passing trucks.
I hope this is helpful, keep up with the great content 👍

Is the mpg drop really because you drive faster? 🤔
.....Or is it because you're basically doing the same distance to the gallon, but it's now reporting less because it's accurate?
Cos maths 😁
Dunno 🤷 too complicated, but you would always expect to use more fuel if you drive (significantly) faster 🚐💨 Either way, a negligible impact on economy versus the benefits of the tyres👍
28mpg 😂 yeah
You do drive like miss daisy 😂
