My rear wheel drive wannabe syncro (OK, its a standard T25) is rubbish off road i.e campsites etc.
Just returned from Boardmasters where i couldn't even reverse up a slight grassy incline without spinning up.

I need new tires and thought yiu guys could suggest good tires that will deal with glasto mud to Newquay long grass with a bit of tamac inbetween.
At present i have 195/70 15s fitted but 205/70 15s would fit fine. I was looking at Geolanders?

On a budget I've just shod the van with Goodyear Wrangler AT/SA+ from tyreleader. Delivered from France in a few days and for ~£55 each it made a lot of sense. Sure they're not as pretty as the BFGs and have a fair bit less depth of tread .... but the likelihood is that for me they'll perish through UV before I get through the tread ....

You get a better choice of AT/MT tyres if you switch to 15" Mefro wheels (available from Brickwerks). A common swap on Syncros.

I've just put Kuhmos on but had a set of Hankook AT's on for years- £74ish a tire. The Hankooks were good.
