Get some mud terrains. Nothing will move in that with road tyres mate. We have all been there. I went to a farm sale years ago in an old landy with really chunky tyres, and on the way out i passed some guy in a brand new discovery shod in road tyres to hear him complaining loudly that he had just spent a small fortune on a brand new 4x4 to be put to shame by an old nail ( i think those were his words):lol:

 

:lol:brilliant i bet he was well gutted

Yes; and a similar programme where a two 4x4s with road tyres got halfway up a long, gently sloping wet field and were both embarrassed by a VW camper van with Mud Terrains! It's all in the tyres...
