Single tyres is also better in loose sand. Front and rear wheels follow the same path, with double tyres, they have to make a new path for the back tyres.
No idea if the older Vario is better than the one's after 1997. There are such a lot of different versions after 1997 that it is very...
I've been in contact with an Australian firm that organises guided bush visites and uses mitsubishi canters with a single wheel conversion. They prefer the Toyo Tyre M608 above the Michelin XZY, because off-road its capability is almost the same as de Michelin XZY, but they have much less...
1) Rims and tyres included we came up to +/- 3500 €
2) Ormocar was superb. We had our drawings with measurements (inside measurements foor everything is the easyist for them, so they will make the outside fit) of what we wanted, and they builded it like that. When they had doubts, they...

This is a firm not so far from where we are living and the owner also has the same vehicle type als we have, with toyo tyres.
Officialy we may not change the tyres in Belgium, the vehicle will not pass the technical inspection we have to go to every year. So we will have to change the wheels every year. But that's peanuts in comparising with what I have to rebuild every year now with our Nissan. (Bodylift...
