old trials fanatic Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 The time has come to renew the rear tyres on the Sprinter. The std Vaneao ones are ok on the road but are useless on wet grass or even a slight bit of mud. Not looking to go off roading just to be sure i can get out of a venue. Sometimes its spinning on wet grass on the flat So what would the team recommend ? Needs to be ok for the M.O.T. btw. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear the theory behind rocking the steering on a rear wheel drive van ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Not tyres, but these are brilliant. Got them for the motorhome: http://willowholt.co.uk/products-page/levelling-devices/pyramid-grip-king-5-meter-tracks/ Also got Emma Bristow's motorhome out at Bootle last year and it's a big rear wheel drive beast that was well stuck. Just lay them out, pass the long string back under the van and tie it to the back bumper or something. It drives out then tows the grips behind so you don't have to stop till you're on solid ground.

evoalien Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I would think a Sprinter should wear Running Shoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
