I've got big nobby tyres,
Over 50mph and I can't stay in lane so wobbly.
Drove Huddersfield to Ayr 250 miles yesterday.
At 45 mph [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Check out the mot history, says corrosion is setting in to sills and floor.

Shouldnt be like that! Even Insas you can usually do 60 or 70 just noisey as hell and slidey on bends.

Suspect they are badly out of balance or wonky/bulged

Or there is play in the steering linkage ...

Agreed. I'm on Insa Turbos and I can do 60mph plus easily. It's just loud.

They are pretty exciting stopping in the wet also!

Anyone remeber crossply SATS, they were interesting on early rangerovers in the wet, I know not supposed to put crossplies on R/R but those were the days

It's a bit 'boaty' I'll admit, but I've certainly needed them on the site we're on at the moment. Even with them, I've not been able to get to where I wanted to on a couple of the wetter mornings. 3 tonnes of Sprinter and an uphill slope with no run up.
