    New tyres....

    Just had some new tyres fitted to our van, Pirelli Scorpion "All Terrain plus" 235/65/R17 108H

    Do you go places that warrant these?
    Do they perform better?
    What's road noise like compared to the OEM's?

    Also... V-UU... nice

    As long as they don't rumble on the bitumen they should be able to handle almost any terrain.

    I like that tread pattern, hopefully you can get out and see how they handle.

    Yes our number plate is a bit of fun...thanks... and we will definitely be going places to warrant the tyres, we used to get to all sorts of "off the beaten path" places in our old Transporter - and as the new one is 4motion we'll certainly be getting to some remote areas, we love camping away from the crowds.

    They are a little bit noisier than the OEMs - but it's very slight... and we've tried this brand in some mud & slush in Switzerland (on our god-daughters van) so we know they perform very well... we drove into farmers snowy fields to pick up base-jumpers and I was amazed how much grip they had.
    We're looking forward to using them when we finally get out of damn lockdowns... arghhh

    And now I have these sitting in my carport, I'll advertise them in the for-sale section - if anyone's looking for some OEM tyres give me a PM.

    cheers
