Old school 4 x4 Ranger needs the best mud tyres available - what are they ?

We have run them on the back of our tippers for the last 15 years - they send verge-roost miles into the air and coat anything you are towing in massive clods of turf but will regularly keep you moving when otherwise you’d be sat waiting for a tow!

 

Are those 205’s ok on twin rears Dan?

Have a look at Camskill tyres website, they have something for everyone, reasonably priced and good mail order service.

They are touching so are almost like a very wide single tyre… We’ve never had a problem with them, and no issues with MOTs (maybe that’s because of my winning smile though!). Have done 100s of thousands of miles with this setup across several vans.

If you don’t care about noise get Insa Turbo Special Tracks. Not much available that are better if you are truly off road. The lugs come off them if you do extended periods at 70 mph plus though…

Second that.  Buy a pair of ear defenders...

Running Maxis Bighorn M/T currently.  Pleased with them so far and very good value. Noisy on the road as you would expect but give more wet rd grip than my BFG KO2 A/T did. 

I think I will buy a second set of wheels and run AT again for the spring and summer .... if it ever comes ..

I could drive around fine thanks.  I seem to remember cruising past your stuck ranger then driving around the bit you got your avant stuck in trying to tow you out without getting stuck … I’d say they are pretty good tyres 😉😂

 

and yes the Eder winch is a fine thing.  Was using it on Friday winch out some decent sized windblown in the woods.  Very handy tool.
