All terrain tyres on a motorhome: do they make sense or are they a waste of money?

In this vlog we are taking a light-hearted approach to the contentious issue of whether, or not, motorhomers should be putting all terrain tyres on their vans. Are they a good idea or not?

All season or all terrain tyres are a great idea , peace of mind for all occasions, thanks for the great video and your thoughts

[@Eurosully]

And thank you David for your positive comment, much appreciated 👍 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

As a solo FEMALE camper in a 7metre van I decided to swap my tyres for Goodrich all terrain 15 months ago. I saw all the negative comments but went ahead anyway. I've noticed no difference in road noise or mpg. Speedo now registers correctly. It's given me the confidence to drive in all conditions, and I've driven off many muddy fields where others have had to be towed out. So it's a big tick from me! Keep up the hood work, love your videos.

[@Eurosully]

Hi Merina, you’re another example of why this upgrade is so good 😊 we done for not succumbing to the Facebook pundits!! Thanks for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@paulhumphrey3402]

Totally agree with you we have Bf Goodrich KO2 . Keeps us legal in the mountains and gives us confidence when the going gets a bit mucky

[@Eurosully]

And it really is as simple as that Paul, can’t believe the keyboard warriors make such a big fuss, I think there’s an element of jealousy 🤢 Thanks for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@Ray-ts6pp]

Hi Andrew and Jane, good info on your video. I’ve also got the 15” original wheels n tyres. Been thinking of upgrading to the 3 peaks with a16” wheel. Where’s best place to get the wheels? Am I looking at a big expense? Cheers Ray and Pam Ps Happy travels

[@Eurosully]

@@Ray-ts6pp hi Ray and Pam, I went to Elite Wheels and Tyres in Reading, very helpful guys. Your looking at circa £1250 for a wheel/tyre package and then sell your old ones on Ebay. We did a vlog about it, link below. Thanks for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶 We upgraded our new motorhome wheels and tyres: here's why kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpbCaZywnLmIaac

[@jasontedds]

Thanks for honest info i’m a newbie not even got campervan yet hopefully mid March!!But like yourself been driving commercial vans/truck for over 30 yrs. To be fair first year or so probably stick with original tyres but when get more confident and set our sights abit further afield will go for AT. Spot on video cheers buddy👍🏻

[@Eurosully]

@@jasontedds we have our fingers crossed 🤞 for you Jason, hoping you get yourself a solid van in March 🚐 make yourself loads of plans and go for it! Also, the van community is a good one, so ask loads and loads of questions, you won’t be a “newbie” for long 👍 you can always give us a shout if you need help 😊 Cheers 🍻 mate 👍

Useful video, as in the market for new tyres and want 3pmsf type, had not considered all terrain before watching this, so will now have a look for some. Cheers from Burnley.

Couldn’t agree more! Was very skeptical when my husband wanted to put BFGs on our 7m MH but have to say everything you say is true - wouldn’t go back now (and the look cool 😂)

[@Eurosully]

Cool is the priority 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching 👀 Fay Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@keefnbailz]

I have done exactly the same. 15 to 16 and I went for Grabber AT3 tyres. Only thing I noticed was the speedo is out .....actual 33 to 34 when showing 30. Could be cured now though with the new speedo gears I've had to fit when the electronic speedo failed. I wouldn't go back.

[@Eurosully]

@@keefnbailz I was lucky Keith, my Speedo reads +/- 1 mph now I’ve done the change 😅 I may need new tyres next year and was thinking the BF Goodridge KO2 but just seen some Chinese ones, Comforser which are 1/2 the price. I’ll see next year when the time comes. Cheers 🍻 for watching 👀 mate Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@keefnbailz]

I ordered those Comforser tyres but changed them just before delivery from Rogue. They're a decent tyre Rogue told me and good value.

Totally agree 🤩🚐we run bf goodies KO2 tyres on our sprinter van in Australia they perform well in all conditions especially on the rocky roads where standard road tyres would get shredded by rocks , very versatile, negligible mpg loss no more road noise and they also look cool 😂😂🚐great video guys all the best from Australia 🚐🤩

[@Eurosully]

Thanks for the feedback guys, it seems a contentious subject when it doesn’t need to be. Most of the “contributors” don’t appear to have had any real experience of the tyres themselves, typical! Enjoy your vlogs very much too, keep loving your best van life👍 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@stephenhayward6445]

With them impressions I thought I was watching the return of mike yarwood 😂😂😂, you should know that FB is the fountain of all knowledge 😂😂😂, you could get the FB lawyers after you now for having fun at someones expense 😂😂😂, let's be fair half these motorhome owners wouldn't even need tyres, as most seem to sorn them from Oct to April , and the rest boast how they have a 27 year old motorhome and it only has 2400 miles on it 😂😂😂 they could use wooden tyres😂😂😂, personally never used them tyres so can't comment, but if I went to Lapland I would, and they do look very smart, im sure you could get a zillion miles out of them, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.

Thanks for a great honest video of your findings and thoughts. Very useful and will definitely be something we will consider when we need to replace our vanco continental tyres. Did you travel to Elite at Reading? And I suppose if you are bringing your old wheels and tyres back it will have to be a trip down and back for that one purpose?

[@Eurosully]

Hi, yes, Elite at Reading, went when we came back from a trip. From Calais on our way home. We sold our old alloys and tyres on EBay and got £850 so only £400 ish to upgrade wheels and tyres. Thanks for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@richardpickering2452]

I run A/Ts on my T6 and would not use anything else now.

[@Eurosully]

Good call, I’ve had these on for 10k now. Been to Nordkapp (snow, ice and -14 for mile after mile) and driven on wet tarmac as well as sunny and dry tarmac, I will never use a “normal” tyre again. No handling, noise, fuel economy or ride issues at all. 🛞 Thanks for watching Richard and for feeding back, much appreciated 👍 Andrew, Jane and Buddy 🐶

[@richardpickering2452]

@@Eurosully There were many reasons i went to A/Ts and wont go back which are all the ones you mentioned except probably the biggest reason is the state of the roads and wanting a stronger and deeper tyre to protect my rims and suspension against hard knocks and pinch punctures.

[@stephen_with_a_H]

Brilliant video, I've purchased these exact tyres, can I ask what tyre pressures you run, I know each van is different but just looking for a rough guide

[@Eurosully]

Hi Stephen, thanks for your positive feedback, and congratulations on your new tyres 🛞 😂 I run my manufacture recommended, which is 79 psi rear and 72 psi front. This is very firm, a bit thrashy, although better than the previous 15 inch wheel tyre combo from the factory. A lot run them at 65r 55f, but not tried it, yet. I have a TPMS system from factory, which is set to 79/72 and no easy way to reset to different pressures. So for now I’m staying standard but may well have a play in future if I can put up with a permanent warning light!! Or if I find someone local to sort the TPMS. Cheers 🍻 for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@stephen_with_a_H]

@@Eurosully Thank you for the reply Andrew (Jane & Buddy) luckily I don't have the TPMS on my motorhome, I had set them around the factory recommendations for the motorhome initially but found it a little vague on the motorway so I've dropped them slightly and it drives a lot better. Thought I'd ask the guru as it was this video that made me buy the tyres 😂. All the best for your future travels and your path to becoming a KZbin gazillionaire Steve & Hayley👍

[@Eurosully]

@@stephen_with_a_H when you’ve run them a bit, fine tuned the pressures, and are happy with them, will you let me know. Would be good to have some genuine experience from someone 👍🍻

[@stephen_with_a_H]

@@Eurosully I certainly will 👍

[@stephen_with_a_H]

Hi Andrew (Jane & Buddy) so I've done a fair few trips now on the new wheels and tyres and covered a good variation of motorway, A roads and B roads I've set the front tyres at 50psi and the rears at 54psi and its a lot more settles on the road and doesn't feel sketchy or twitchy on the motorway especially when passing trucks. I hope this is helpful, keep up with the great content 👍

[@totalcranker]

Hi Great video. Can I ask, is your motorhome front or rear wheel drive? (Guessing front). I don't have a motor home but a converted hyundai i800 van, it's rear wheel drive and I've gotten stuck a few times even on waterlogged grass pitches. Luckily, there has always been kind bystanders keen to help... I've been looking looking at going down the route of off road tires to help, after watching this, I'm now convinced it's the right way forward. Thanks👍

[@Eurosully]

Hi, it’s a front wheel drive. Tricky, as most weight is over rear so don’t always get max traction. The AT tyres help 🛞 but not the same as on a car or a 4x4. I nearly got out, the tyres were good as in, they got moving in reverse but then went down into a real soft boggy bit. I would have been just sat still spinning with the old tyres. Was easier to let the farmer tow us out than recover ourselves, which I think we could have easily done with those tyres and a lower pressure with traction mats. If you look at our latest vlog, you’ll see what I mean, we get stuck! Cheers 🍻 for tuning in 📺 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

[@Jessdanvers1962]

PiYour video made me laugh at people's comments. I've taken the plunge after watching yours and I think John and mandys video and bought some bf Goodrich alltarain wo2 tires and some 16 bad ass wheels. I agree with all you said about handling etc. I changed from 15" to 16" rims which indeed corrected the speedo. I can't understand why peugeot important MH with 15" when in Europe they are sold with 16" rims. Thanks again for a great video. One last question do you know if you have to inform your insurance company about the change please? Keep up the great videos.

[@Eurosully]

@@Jessdanvers1962 hi Flap! Good choice, you’ll look proper well ‘ard 🛞 I haven’t told insurance as I already had alloys and changing tyre brand is something people do every day.

[@muckertee]

Is the mpg drop really because you drive faster? 🤔 .....Or is it because you're basically doing the same distance to the gallon, but it's now reporting less because it's accurate? Cos maths 😁

[@Eurosully]

Dunno 🤷 too complicated, but you would always expect to use more fuel if you drive (significantly) faster 🚐💨 Either way, a negligible impact on economy versus the benefits of the tyres👍
