New tyres, the Michelin ones that came with the van are not legal for the winter's here in Germany!

Good choice. Wish I could fit them.

 

[Ginger.Tog]

Good choice. Wish I could fit them.

I hope we've made the right choice, they're 225/75/R16 - same size as the ones coming off. 08:30 tomorrow morning they'll be fitted.

this week, I started looking at MH's for sale, out of boredom which is always dangerous, as I bought the one I have being bored in work on a Wednesday afternoon. Seen one an upgrade to the one I have, OK working out were I can park the second one until the first one is sold and then thought lets do a little research before I get too interested.
WOW, more MOT failures than an Austin allegro!!!!

So what did I buy this week chocolate

They look fantastic but I have a friend who a has them on a old defender. They give the van a rugged go anywhere look so a bit of soggy grass won’t slow you down Your mpg will take a hit though

 

[Nasher]

Your mpg will take a hit though

When selecting new tyres for my van, I used the EU tyre ratings, for the OP's new tyres, they have the poorest rating of 'F' - I would be interested in how that relates in real life mpg (might have to wait until lockdown ends)

The noise rating for those tyres is 74db so not that bad

On the plus side, they really look cool


Obviously the EU tyre ratings are no longer valid in the UK after 23:00 yesterday

Serious question, are those legal in Germany in winter even though they are all terrain and not winter tyres? I ask because I am going to be fitting Cooper ST MAXX AT tyres and would be good to know without researching, thank you in advance for your anticipated reply

 

[duane0001]

I believe as with Coopers, one side is white and the other is black, so you can choose

it’s my work van, my daily drive, my posh car, my plaything, it’s everything except my holiday transport since buying a motorhome. It’s rarely that clean, but it’s the most recent photo.

Yes, those Goodrich do have the '3PMSF' symbol

I don't think the Cooper ST MAXX AT does have it...... So wouldn't be suitable in Germany

A TomTom Truck 6250, still have the Garmin but it's a bit vague at junctions
