racey Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 My rear wheel drive 08 LWB Vito isn't good in the wet, and with winter not far away I am going to change the tyres,at least the rears, to see if I can improve both wet weather and of course muddy field performance. It's just a trials van so not desperately bothered about lifespan, just as long as I can get some decent traction when I need it. Had it for about six months now and know I'm going to be in bother if I don't change them. Do you go for town and country, snow?, or whatever. So, question is, are there any tyre experts out there or anyone with experience of my situation who can point me in the right direction on what to go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) All RWD Vans are crap in winter Trials fields (my Hiace is) I park on the Road/Verge/Layby/Moorside outside the venues, if at all possible Carry a tow rope and shackle Edited September 15, 2016 by johnnyboxer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger144 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 I agree with Lineaway, get the weight over the driving wheels, at least with rear wheel drive you can shift weight to the rear, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
