Off road my ar3e

Took my lad to footie, went 10m onto grass, and bingo 6in of mud stopped the mighty range rover dead in its tracks, dug 4 holes and that was that needed a tow to get out.......

Bloody embarrassing, will be sticking to Tarmac from now on. Big Cry

6in of muddy fieild, and it was game over, could have probably rocked it out with enough time, but it was well stuck?......

Needed a full fat all singing all dancing "transit van" to get me out ...

Knew someone would say that! Fact is it was well bogged in and simply couldn't cope with the terrain

Road biased tyres and soft squelchy mud does not give you traction as the tyres fill with mud and become slicks

Yep pretty much what happened, the tyre were solid mud, all 4 were a day old as well Smile plenty of grooves for that lovely mud to get into.

Still not doing it again Smile

Aside from an old 300Tdi Defender I used to own, never had off road tyres and never got stuck and in significant mud too............Mud Terrain in the Disco 3 / RRS / Freeloader 2 and the current Big Daddy has always got me through.

Now if you had an X5 or some other wannabe, absolutely believable....in a LR with TR, driver error whatever the tyre. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

5 series for the miles Smile

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!
