Hi - All in £1375 so it looks as though I’ll be living in the van for the winter!
All done through https://www.elitewheels.co.uk/. Fitted at their Reading workshop. Nice guys and very knowledgeable
They are already highly recommended by some Motorhome fun users.
Cheers

Looks good. I've seen a few vans with those BF Goodrich All Terrains on, I'm curious - are they noisy on the road?

They can't be as bad as the drone you used to get from knobbly off-road tyres on Land Rovers!

Had them on my Volvo XC90 when I was a tugger and I have to say never failed to get me off a rally field when most were struggling...
Anyway to your question... are they noisy..
No worse than the standard winter tyres (can't rmbr what) as fitted by Volvo that they replaced.

Only driven a relatively short distance today and so far no increase at all in noise and also a much softer ride than the camper tyres they replaced - very pleased!

They look great, same colour van as mine, i'm thinking about fitting the same to my 540 Citroen Relay but with less extreme tyres.
Can I ask what pressures you run at and if you have a spare fitted? Some say you can get one in but its a bit tight.
I have rear mudflaps fitted, doesn't look like there's enough clearance with them on but I think I can live without.

I’ve been contemplating it for two years, but been spending my money on other stuff first. I’m guessing my rear mudflaps would need to be removed though.

Hi
At 5.5 bar but can go lower to suit comfort if needed
Still have original tyre and wheel as spare- same size and Elite Tyres advised this would be fine

Cheers

Yes. Also do same in black

I've fitted a 16'' steel spare with these on under my Fiat Westfalia no problem at all as I understand it would be a problem in France if roadside assistance was required. Plus I bought them to get on and off places in Alpine weather a regular spare wont do that.
