Poor traction off-road with my camper

[Salty Spuds]

As far as I am aware Agilis tyres are Cross-Climates.

Correct, they are commercially rated cross climates. 3pmsf marked. Probably the best tyres I’ve had on the van.

Nice one. Cleared up any confusion.
I concur sirs and madams. Agilis rock.

I really appreciate the time you guys have taken to provide valuable advice. I wondered what you meant about the sag at the back and how that was visible…to realise I wasn’t looking at the wheel arch and instead was looking at the bottom edge of the van it is very visible and quite alarming we didn’t notice (not sure a paddleboard in the boot makes much of a difference). What would the typical fix look like as I’d be happy raising the back end to give more clearance over different terrain and how quick can I book it in?! Would be good to discuss with you, Michelle

Go for the full Koni shocks and springs at CRS.

It transforms the drive, and will level you up nicely.

I’ve got an appointment with them this morning to fix the issues, very relieved they could fit me in so quickly.

You will love the drive back to North Wales! Send Steve our Forum love!

I passed on your forum love, he said hello
What a fab experience this has been with the feedback and support from everyone and today getting it all fixed and now feeling much safer on the road. I cannot thank everyone enough, I’m going to have more questions I’m sure

We have an auto t28 6.1 too, tyres and wheels where the 1st thing we done to start our conversion off we went for the goodrich bfgs for the same reason doing most of our camping offroad/muddy fields..we found them in the 235 size which give just enough clearance on the wheel arch...225 weren't big enough (our opinion) and everyone who gets the 245 say they rub on a full lock...I use my van as my day to day car (sold my Mercedes because same...the alloy cracked with these wonderful roads we have here full of potholes!!!) And honestly these drive fine, not as noisy as what ppl say and the ride is comfy...I think the alloys we have are called Fuel

I'm happy with my General Grabber AT3s.
A year on and the tread looks new

I put some 10mm spacers on the back and 5mm front to make it just right.

I haven't decided if I want to bother with a conversion kit so the hub caps fit back on. I think mine is more a practical van than show and shine

love the van and great to hear you also use yours as a day van too. We opted for 16" Rogue Alloys, CC3 and General Grabber AT tyres fitted by Baja Customs one of the approved fitters for Rogue Alloys in the north. Living in North Wales, the amount of rain we get means a better quality of tyre than what was put on. I had no idea on the complexity of tyres and alloys until recently. I didn't notice any difference in noise from the new tyres versus the old tyres so that's great. Only just had these fitted on Thursday before the big storm rolled in.
