Swamper/AT wheels with 4 season tyres

[Adaptive]

Hey folks, I’m researching tyres at the moment for a standard height t32, has anyone done AT/swamper style wheels with “soft road” tyres?

I’m concerned going down the full GG/K02 tyre route would - despite looking good - be over kill, so I’m looking for a half way house tyre that would fill the arches and look a bit more rugged but without making it sound like a green laner

There's plenty of threads on here... try using the search function?

Cheers, I have actually done that but can’t find any pics of off road style wheels and 4 season tyres, most I can find have full AT tyres rather than a half way house tyre between AT and road…

There’ll be photos on here of my Fuel Zephyrs with Pirelli Scorpion AT+ tyres, they’re more of a halfway house and were great on or off road.

Cheers Andy, just looked at the wet grip and fuel ratings for the Pirelli scorpion and it’s got D for both…?

Here lies the problem for me.
Over the years we've bought vehicles with ever increasing technology which makes them safer, such as ABS, electronic brake distribution, ESC and so on.
I really like the swamper look, and I actually use my T6 off road not as a hobby, but as a necessity. Like most people, over 90% of the time I'm on tarmac.
But I just can't bring myself to fit tyres with a wet grip rating of "D" when my current tyres have a rating of "A" and are M&S rated too.

Just noticed you’re T32

Just remembered you’ve got 17 inch wheels. Doh! Just finished a nightshift, time for me to go to bed me thinks!

Quick question, thinking of using my Devonport Alloys 17" which came om my T32 as spare wheelset.

My question is would the 235/65 17 Scorpion AT+ fit the Devonports which I believe are 7" wide.

Cheers

Hi, my first post here. This is for anyone interested in thinking about purchasing Swamper alloys fitted with All Season tyres and how they look fitted to a T6.
I've just recently had a set of Fuel Covert Matt Black wheels with Michelin All Season CrossClimate 2 tyres (235 55 R17 103H XL) load rated fitted to my T32 Camper.
Purchased from Elite Wheels as a wheel and tyre package which I requested all seasons in place of all terrain tyres and they were all too happy to help.

Two great examples! Now I also see how the G9s (?) would look in black!

OZ Rally Raids with Continental Vancontact 4seasons , previous tyres were Michelin Cross Climates , the continentals have noticeably better grip on wet roads and generally beat the michelins hands down. Laden T32 4motion standard suspension, 235/60/17's

Great wheels and the tyre combo.
Gives your van the total Swamper look and off road capabilities… nice!

That’s an 8% increase in circumference over stock right? How do you find it drives and did you adjust the speedo or do you just mentally do the adjustment?

Not sure of the math but it drives fine. I do have to change down on fast hills but otherwise fine.
Yes the speedo has been adjusted, the digital speedo matches my phone GPS speed.

Liking the snorkel too, never seen one on a t6 before . Does it block your view at all? I'm guessing its designed for a lhd vehicle.

Cheers it’s from Bravo.
No it doesn’t block my view. I can hear the air rushing into it though if the window is open.
