I am currently preparing myself for a similar journey. I have done some extensive research and talked to owners about the FWC. It looks nice and build quality is oke, however most dont advice to live in it for months on end. After extensive usage it does seem to lack overland/expedition quality...

James Cook Mercedes 310D Westfalia, still a work in progress. More pics of the entire build on Mi casa on wheels

I have been advised to go for a load rating of at least 105. Any other tips besides the BFG A/T? I found a Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693 , however reviews seem to tell me I should not touch this.

I am running 225/70/15

I wish I could fit the BFG but I have to stick to the 15inch rims.. Hankook dynapro any good?

Thanks for the tip, this has all been taken care of.

Once again thanks for all the tips, I guess it now comes down to choosing the correct tires.

how are they on the road? I heard they start to "sing" at higher speeds.

I have the 5 cylinder with overdrive gearbox.

Awesome guys, seems like I will be oke to travel all the way to Argentina with this van. Now would you recommend 4season tires AT or summer? Mostly I will be driving on paved roads, maybe some dirt roads every now and then, but no intension to go trail driving with it.

Thanks for your responses guys, appreciated. I currently have a 1992 Mercedes 310D Westfalia campervan, its a diesel. Not build to go offroad.. I will post some pics later this week.

Oke, and pricewise, what would a difflock add on value?

Hi all, I am currently looking at a mercedes 310 westfalia campervan with a difflock, does this have any real effect or is it not worth it?
