dytkos 17,793 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 It's the mostly on road tyres he's after, not the best off roaders , I loved my Kuhmos but not great on the road, and noisy. Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Please yourself i always have a chuckle to my self when I see off roading depected on british tv. Absolutely no problem with them on wet roads here but as you say the nut behind the wheel is always the final determining factor. Just looked up the vechicle ya I wouldn't put them on one of those either, but I wouldnt ,own one of those for going bush. Edited July 27, 2021 by stevemac Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have done some pretty serious off road stuff here, I built a swb for the job, but in truth not many people do serious off roading, I have too get around my fields every day of the yr and in winter it can often be 12-18 inches of wet mud, so it’s challenging for a Predominantly“Road going” vehicle. the scout is in fact the wife’s motor, and I always dismissed them as been rubbish, but I have to say it’s surpassed all my expectations and I would buy another in a heartbeat now.
