Strata Florida & the "Bomb Hole" - Wales - Two stock Range Rovers Green Laning
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2020
- Two stock Range Rovers tackle one of the best Green Lanes in the UK. (Bomb Hole @ 10.46mins)
This was our first go at Green Laning, we were curious to see how we would get on driving this well respected track. Having already watched numerous videos of others taking on the infamous bomb hole we wanted to see if our two stock vehicles could handle this great Welsh challenge. A bit ambitious maybe, especially for our first try at Green Laning but we had two very capable vehicles and thought why not.
Despite getting a puncture, which was always a risk when attempting this on standard road tyres, we still had a great day out and will definitely do a similar trip again. We may even camp out overnight if we can.
Next trip will hopefully be the Elan Valley with plenty more footage of the stunning welsh scenery.

When you say "we do have recovery gear onboard" and a Chinook fly's over, I was very impressed
Its not what you know its who you know:)
@@WindinyourSails Sometimes it's not what you know or who you know, it's what you know about who you know lol
Cladded with money safety net
People always say how bad range rovers are, but forget that they are EPIC off road machines, as capable as anything else on the rough stuff
Thanks for watching
Thoroughly enjoyed this. I had it on mute whilst listening to a technical meeting but it was simply wonderful background video. Great to see what these cars are capable of in the hands of us "ordinary owners". I have a 3.6 Vogue, my wife has a Discovery 4 and we just collected a Sport for my brother. A video on that one will be coming but this has inspired me to get our stuff off road too now. Thank you.
What a charming film. So refreshing to see gentle, considerate use of these lanes - rather than the usual, "convoys". Lovely cars too.
Glad you liked it. Respect for the countryside is so important so we can all enjoy it in the future.
Slow and steady, very respectful of these ancient byways. Nice to see standard cars on them. Like it used to be. No black clouds of diesel smoke and chavs in hoodies. It would however have been a different story had you attempted it in February when the rivers are in spate. Good work chaps!
We did try to be very respectful to the countryside so we can all continue to enjoy places like this in the future. As I have mentioned in another reply, we also did a bit of litter picking on the route to help out. We have no plans to go green laning anywhere when the weather is bad and boggy with the sole aim of getting stuck. We did this and will continue to do trips like this on nice dry days and have a great time just enjoying the countryside and our vehicles. Thanks for your kind words and understanding of what this trip was about for us. Appreciated.
Great video guys, respect for using your cars factory standard, I was really impressed how well they performed with your careful driving. I’d love to see another one!
Thank you for commenting. We are looking forward to getting out again and when we do we fully intend to make a video record of our adventures so watch this space. Might be a while though due to Covid.
Great fun that route,we did it on 2 wheels in the winter rain, the river crossing were a little deeper.
Nice to see a family having fun together and using Range Rovers for what they're designed to do
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Lovely to see those great vehicles doing what they were built for 👍👍
Definitely. They made up for our inexperience as they do it effortlessly and in comfort. Cant wait to get out there again, Elan Valley will be the next I think.
Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Brilliant....
Good video fetched back good memories
I took my africa twin this way yesterday! I'm old and fat and never been off road on a bike b4! It was a bit of a work out! The river at 3.07 looked a bit much with the stone formation, so I tuned round! No point being a hero at my age! I will do this route in my wj 4.7 soon! B4 I keeped going to the ' phone box' and dida right turn onto the old monks trail!
Range rovers are bloody brilliant, I’ve done strata Florida aswell in a 2019 Range Rover autobiography lwb, completely standard, didn’t even bring any equipment jus the car and it conquered it like a champ.👍🏼
I agree they are brilliant when everything is working on them. Expensive to fix though when (not if) something breaks. Thanks for watching.
@@WindinyourSails could agree more with the reliability were on our 9th new Range Rover Vogue/autobiography and about 3 of them have had major problems (e.g. replaced turbos, wiring looms, new engines, air suspension) and another 4 with minor problems luckily all under warranty but the previous one I had literally spent more time with Land Rover than it did with me. So far only two with out any issues what do ever.
How many other luxury limos could do that? Love the L322.
brilliant video that, was just what I was looking for especially with stock vehicles. keep them coming. Im now on the hunt for a Range Rover 😊
Thanks Scott, glad you liked the video. Happy hunting.
@@WindinyourSails its a minefield finding the right one. 🤦♂️
Just watched this . Brilliant job and especially so for Stock vehicles 👍
Nice way to spend your free time, and great to see two such well kept vehicles. Thanks for uploading.
It was a lovely day out. Thanks for watching
Nice to see a couple of Range Rovers doing a spot of off roading. Thoroughly enjoyable video.
Thanks for watching
Nicely done, good fun for all the family, enjoyed your video........thanks for posting.
You are welcome. Thanks for commenting
Love it. Great to see the route done in newer Range Rovers. Traction control worked amazingly. I've done this route in 110 Defender, Discovery 1, 90 Defender, Freelander 1, and recently a Shogun Sport. Was only there a month ago and back next week. Great video guys. Going to let my girlfriend drive some of this route as I'm training her.
Thanks for commenting. Glad you liked it
How did the shogun sport do? Thinking of taking mine
Really enjoyed that video as it wasn't extreme off roading with large off road tyres and built up suspension etc, I love seeing stock vehicles on trails like that, although I don't think I would have risked the bomb hole, but shows how impressive and capable range rovers are..Great vid.makes me want a range rover
Really pleased the video was to your taste. Thank you for commenting, much appreciated.
fair play boiis, me and the bois are taking our wheelbarrows there on the weekend, we might have to plow through the bumhole, mushies will keep us going x
Thanks for posting this, would love to do this in my Defender 90. Pleased to see the youngsters joining you and enjoying it.
Glad you like it. It was the youngsters idea this time 😂
Well done, good to see stock vehicles in action
Glad you liked the video.
Enjoyed this, well done 👍🏽
Thank you, much appreciated.
Very, very nice off-road film👌!!! Range Rovers these legends👍👍👍, and good luck on your channel🤝.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
absolutely amazing video mate top quality keep up the good work!
Thanks, glad you found it interesting and not too tame
Respect to Mr. Range Rover bless ya
Thanks for watching
dope range rovers are sick
Great effort guys! Enjoyable video too
Thank you very much, really appreciated. Hopefully get to do some more of this sometime in the future.
Amazing Beautiful
Great vid , great vehicles , great day out , far better then defenders for comfort off road , loads more room for bacon rolls , chairs , tea
Absolutely. Thanks for watching Anthony
Nicely done chaps. A great record of your achievement.
Many thanks. Looking forward to our next trip which should include some drone footage of the stunning scenery too.
Incredible adventure! That hole was crazy steep but the Rangey made it look easy!
Not sure my Fiat Panda 4x4 would make it up there, all 875cc and 2 cylinders of it lol 😁😯
I have seen a few videos on here where a Fiat Panda has managed the whole lane including the bomb hole. Thanks for watching
So glad found this clip, rrs 5.0 s/c 2011 owner since 2012. Do you recommend using the Gap IID tool or similar program to raise the suspension even higher than factory off-roading height for better 4slow offroad clearance? Would that cause any wear/tear on the suspension system at all? I know it might suffer abit of stability or comfort but only short/temporary height raise for some very specific terrain.
Enjoyed this video a lot! Thinking about taking my stock L322 there so this gives me some hope! 🤣
MAN, THAT LOOKS FUN!!!!!!!!!! I got a 2009 HSE and love it!!!!!!!!
Glad you liked it. It was fun. Hopefully we will do something similar this summer 🤞
Good watch
Living in west Wales I’d love to try this. Just need to get myself a Range Rover now!
Plenty of tracks in west Wales where you don't even need a 4x4. Take a look at the Green Lane Association
Bellissimo percorso. Macchina fantastica!
Grazie gentile signora
The lead vehicle reminds me of those people who stop at the top of an escalator .. when others are still coming. Get out of the bloody way!!😂😂😂
You nailed their character lol
Excellent video.
Thank you
Our l322 is the same, 3.6TDV8 with the facelift from factory. Excellent cars.
The facelift from factory makes a huge difference, loving ours too. Worst bit is the dated sat nav but the main digital dash screen makes up for it. Thanks for watching.
Fair play to you guys for doing this in cars you of course care about. I would be having kittens in my discovery 4
Plenty of kittens were had believe me. I certainly wouldn't do it in poor weather. In fairness though the track is not hard at all in good weather with low water levels, its just very rocky so decent tyres are a must I would say. Nothing I recall that would scratch the vehicles either. Take it steady, don't put a lot of unnecessary strain on the vehicle and just let your Disco do its thing. Great fun, you wont regret it . Thanks for your comment
I think if you continue holding down the suspension raise button after it has reached maximum height, it will go up even further.
There is an extended mode if you ground out and I believe even a super extended mode. I put it in extended mode once before and its really high. Should have done that for the bomb hole and they may not have scraped. Thanks for your comment.
Great video!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Great video, loved the comparison. I have a 1984 Range Rover Classic, which is great to work on and drive. But, I'd also love either a L322 or RRS for family trips for extra safety and comfort. I cant decide which one though...
L322 and RRS both great vehicles. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching and commenting
People saying the did good for been stock 🤷♂️ its a range rover there designed to do this i don’t understand why people are surprised, good video
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it.
Before I start my message may I give all the glory to the Lord Jesus Christ God and His Holy Ghost.
It is was great to see a film with camera angles from inside and outside the vehicles, and most importantly, no music.
Oh, and what views. Trees, streams and hillsides. Absolutely gorgeous!! Fantastic. I give all the glory to the One who created it all, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The film was well put together, the driving careful and considered, and cars unscathed but for the single unfortunate sidewall. Well done!!
Let's see your youngest and your wife have their go behind the wheel in your next video. It seems a fair reward for all those enjoyable exterior shots. Then again, they may have preferred not to.
Thank you from those of us who are stuck in the city.
Many thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great Video, A RR is on my bucket list
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Those tracks are better than some of the main roads round where I live
I think I have driven some of them in the past. Thanks for watching.
@@WindinyourSails Looking forward to more vids 👍
excellent video. I did this route many years ago in my old 300 Disco albeit from the other direction. I can vouch that the bomb hole is alot steeper in person..... I drove around it.
Thanks. We considered going down the bomb hole but didn't fancy slipping down it and causing damage.
I’m surprised you didn’t ding your wheels more. A nice bit of laning all the same, well done.
Thanks for commenting. Remarkably neither vehicle had wheel damage, just a puncture.
what size tyres on the Range Rover Sport? thank you!!
Perfick drive slow and steady and controlled just what off. Reading should be
Brilliant
Thanks, Glad you liked it.
Great video of a classic lane. Top end of first section looks pretty washed out since I was last there. Also, I've driven it a hundred times and didn't know that bothy was there - useful to know.
Glad you liked it. The bothy is tucked out of sight. Only a few hundred yards from where we stopped for lunch.
Great video - just shows what they can do
Thanks for watching. Appreciate your kind words.
Good!
Good day out 👍🏻😎
Yes very enjoyable. Glad you liked it, thanks
I would definitely advise a second set of wheels with chunky-er tyres. I do this myself on my Disco 4 I have 18" Compomotive PD1881's on her fitted with Cooper ST Maxx tyres for this kind of stuff I did Sarn Helen in her earlier this year while it was open and restrictions were temporarily eased. Made it look easy really.
Normally 20" rims for motorway and normal road cruising, you don't need compos per se, but you should be able to get an 18" rim on those RR's but check out what the smallest size is, I would be inclined to think 18".
The other thing I would suggest is you invest in a set of rock tree sliders. If you slide sideways a bit, and, it can happen, the metal slider will take the abuse, and not your car door. You can also get them coated so can be used to provide a rung up into the vehicle too. Some people go a bit crazy with underbody protection sump guards, steering guards the full works most of this stuff is a con IMO, rock tree sliders and a compressor guard are really all you'd need.
I agree about wheels and tyres. Don't think we will risk it again until we have a second set to switch over to when we need to. Thanks for the info, appreciate it.
Hello my friend writing with great pleasur
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Nice to see those Range Rovers getting some exercise! It's a shame most of them never do.
Agreed. Thanks for watching
what tyres were you classing as silly road tyres on RRS. Just curious as may give this is go in my l494 with 21s (whats the worst that can happen)
It was more the tyres on the L322 that were arguably unsuitable. It had stock Pirelli Scorpions with a fairly low profile on big rims (fairly low profile). Decent all terrain tyres on a smaller rim with higher sidewall and sidewall reinforcement would have been much more suited. Not saying you couldn't get away with stock road tyres but as the track is quite rocky you run the risk of a sidewall puncture which is exactly what happen to the L322.
@@WindinyourSails thanks. Mine are 21" scorpions. Have been considering a set of 19s for off-road duty.
Think I might try it myself. I have a stock 2011 L322 and would like to see it work as it was designed to. Good video.
Yes you should try it, you won't be disappointed with the lane or how you vehicle will perform. go for it. Thanks for watching
I must admit I was about to turn off after seeing how mild the trail was but that bomb hole isn’t as mild; well done for going offroad in these things, every scrape must be nerve racking!
It's a lovely lane, lots of stunning scenery with a bit of everything thrown in to make it an exciting and worthwhile trip. The bomb Hole is definitely not mild, it's much bigger in person than it looks on video. Glad you stuck with it and watched the best bits. Thank you.
@@WindinyourSails yeah it reminded me of where I live, in New Zealand! I’m from the uk and didn’t get to do much off-roading so these videos are nice to see!
Yeah I always say cameras never show how steep a hill is but you can see how much of a climb it is once the truck was on it, looked fun mate!
Good trip
Thanks for watching
Good job on recording your journey, would have been good to see your puncture dramas
Yes agree sorry about that. Unfortunately we didn't record the puncture as was so focussed on fixing the problem.
@@WindinyourSails I can imagine, but stressful I expect
Did you guys go in with the standard air recommendations or added a few more psi?
went with standard psi. not sure if that was correct thing to do or not.
@@WindinyourSails For those rubber band thin tyres, going in with standard PSI or a bit more is the right idea. There is simply not enough side wall on the tyre to risk deflating it.
@@mikeb53 We actually went with 30 and 25psi on the RR and RRS respectively. Considering how easy we were going I wasn't concerned about debeading or wheel damage. Also provided a little more comfort and puncture resistance as you'd know. As you've pointed out we didn't exactly have nice tall tyres like a defender so it would've been silly to go any lower.
me and my friend did that in standard series land rovers. my 88" on 205s and his 109" on 750s.
Great tack isn't it. Thanks for watching.
Lads the sport with the 2.7 or 3ltr has any1 used a different engine other the the stock engine
Great video! which Tyres do you have on the black Range?
They are Pirelli Scorpion zero 255/50/R20. A good tyre but not for this sort of terrain. Thanks for watching.
@@WindinyourSails Good, aren’t they!
If your after some tyres to leave on I recommend copper AT3 4S. Good wet handling and good off road too.
I have AT3 4S on my Discovery 2, great looking and great performing tyres.
Yes I heard they are good. Also been told about Duratrac.
@@karol190PL got them on my NP300. Road holding is as good as the conti cross contact roadies that came with the car.
@@WindinyourSails I had a set of Duratracs on my Disco that were total rubbish. Puncture after puncture after puncture.. on near new tyres. I tried them because I originally had the MTR's (not kevlar's) .. that were brilliant.
Now running Toyo 'Open Country' .. very tough side wall so they need to be aired down a lot more than other tyres to get them to bag out.
Nice relaxing day out ... cheers from Oz (Down Under)
@@davidhuett3579 I think its one of those situations where if we have a bad experience with a product we think the product is rubbish but someone else may have a good experience and think the product is great. Guess the best we can do is study the technical specs, make an informed choice and keep our fingers crossed we have a good experience. Thanks for commenting - would love to go wheeling down under.
How did the 3.6 tdv8 cope overall??
Excellent. Loads of ground clearance, Terrain response was brilliant (cant imagine how good the new ones must be). Engine purred, loads of torque so hardly any revs needed to tackle pretty much all of it. I have seen lots of videos of others doing this track and most of them seem to give their vehicles loads of revs and go much faster. Our experience in both vehicles was much more sedate. I think the fact they were both automatics helped as you have much more control. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Ça c’est une belle piste 4x4
What maps did you follow and where did you stay ? Guess it take a couple of hours to cover the track
Hi. We used ordnance survey paper map and Viewranger App on our phone. Viewranger is excellent and well worth getting. We have our own place to stay in New Quay so used that as our base. I would definitely allow 2 or more hours, especially if you stop for a brew up. Thanks for watching
If you are considering going this time of year be prepared for a lot of deep water crossings and some mud though most of it is hard rock/gravel. I would also recommend going with more than one vehicle.
What a very "mature drive" for one so young. Well done both of you. Ignore the moaners. They get everywhere. Probably waving his stick as he reads this... 😄👍🏼
Thanks for your comment.
That's what these cars were built to do, very few actually get to stretch their legs. Just school runs.
Couldn't agree more. We will be doing some more Welsh tracks when we are allowed. Thanks for watching
1x range rover and 1x discovery in drag
Would love to do this, abit scared I haven’t got off-roading tyres and there 22”
Well worth visiting, the scenery is stunning. Definitely recommend off road tyres and a capable vehicle or you will have issues along the way. Thanks
How did the 2.7 sport compare to the newer tdv8 L322???
Very well. Not much difference. Sport had better tyres and therefore better grip. L322 with more torque tackled the inclines with lowered revs marginally better. Both very capable tho. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
great vid
would love to attempt the in my stock RRL322
im looking for something similar in north wales
Must be loads of tracks north Wales that you could try. We picked this track as its solid ground and therefore unlikely to get stuck. Not sure we would have tried a boggy track for our first time. Best advice I can give is take two vehicles if you can - just in case something breaks. Other than that just go for it, you wont regret it.
What is the name of the trail you took. I can't find bomb hole Wales on the map?
Its called Strata Florida. Thanks for watching
Good effort guys :) We do all sorts of 4x4 tours in the uk you may be interested in, can find us on Facebook or website :) happy laning
Thanks, I'll take a look at your website.
Watch the laird doesn't catch you lol
You'd probably puncture a tyre even if they were all terrain because the sidewalls are too small. You need at least a 65 profile for off roading. Tracks in the UK are pretty scarce I believe? We've got literally thousands of 4wd tracks everywhere in Australia. That was a pretty track, nice scenery and a good number of water crossings. The bomb hole looked steep on video which means it's really steep, well done for novices. Cheers.
Thanks for watching. You are right about tyres and weak side walls. Ideally need to downsize the rims to 18 inch and fit proper chunky tyres. I watch a lot of OZ overlanding and 4X4 channels, you are so lucky to have so many tracks to choose from. Wild camping is also something you seem to be able to do a lot of.
@@WindinyourSails not many people go 4wding in Range Rovers here because the environment is very demanding on cars and they are too urban to take the punishment. I have proper tyre and rim sizes, proper pressure and still had 3 flats in one day on a week long remote trip. Last time I saw a Range Rover on a tame track near Sydney it was stopped with a wrecked tyre. If you want to see a killer Range Rover in real tough Aussie action, then look up AllOffRoad 4x4 Adventures with Stephan Fischer. David Belantonio drives an old one and it's a beast. He has an Isuzu diesel motor in it for better reliability.
@@mikehzz9848 Ill check that one out. Cheers
Brave guys for takibg a £40k lanny down that track .
Cycled it way back in 1994
neither vehicles worth that much now though know what you mean. Doing the track in a luxury vehicle somehow made it all the more fun yet wrong at the same time if you know what I mean.
I wonder what’s it’s like after the current rain you guys have received? Nice video.
It would be a very different type of trip for sure and not one that should be considered, even if we were not in lockdown. It would be impossible to not damage the lane at such a time. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@WindinyourSails, fully agreed. 👍👍👍👍
It hardly ever stops raining between Tregaron and Llandovery. When it does, it snows.
Nice vehicles.. maybe get a slightly older landrover next time so you don’t have to worry about the paint work!!!!!
👍🏻 well done though you looked like you enjoyed your day
Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you liked the vehicles and the video.
Great video and some nice 'not' off-roading! How much would the insurance be on the RR Sport? No offense but you seem quite young to be driving that thing 😂
I assume you mean my son in the RR sport. They are not as expensive to insure as you might think provided you have a black box fitted which he does. Heaven knows what the telematics data recorded for that trip. He had a Corsa before the RR and the insurance hardly went up surprisingly. Thanks for watching,
@@WindinyourSails Haha my bad, thought your son operated the channel. But yeah as a young un' myself, insurance is the hardest part about owning a car but thanks for the video and hope to see more brilliant adventures in the future
Hi there, I really enjoyed your video, I am putting together an off road compilation of the L322, and wondered if you would like to be included?
Hi glad you enjoyed it. Happy for you to use some of our content. Please send me a link to the edit when you have done it so I can review prior to public release. Thanks
@@WindinyourSails Thanks, I'll be sure to credit you as the source of the clip also.
@@WindinyourSails Hi there, the L322 off road compilation video is ready to view, hope you enjoy it:
th-cam.com/video/VXGQ-2hvkYM/w-d-xo.html
I can’t believe yall did that on street tires.
Neither can we. Bit reckless really but shows it can be done at a push. Thanks for watching.
It’s a bit tame, like this is my everyday car
I’ve Done strata many times in land rovers and a few enduro motorbikes, taking both these through the bomb hole is impressive, the camera never shows the true angle...
Thank you for watching and commenting. That Bomb Hole is a steep one!
Is that sport hse v8???
Hi. The Sport is a V6, the L322 is V8. Hope you enjoyed the video.
What would you say was more capable of the two
I would say L322 but I'm not sure my son in his Sport would agree. Both excellent vehicles. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I have the same L322 and a discovery 4. The RRs uses the floor pan and running gear of the Disco so should technically be better, however I would put my L322 against my discovery any day. Apart from wading, because the Discovery has a snorkel and waterproofed under bonnet. Having said that, they are very surprising vehicles. It's nice to see you aren't afraid to actually use them for what they were made for. I'm getting the new Discovery 5 soon so will be trying that out here too. Great video by the way..
@@jasonharris7042 Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy your new Discovery
Nice to see standard equipped cars doing the Strata, as opposed to aggressive tyres and lifts, which just are not necessary. The aggressive MT tyres just dig holes and are a menace.
Well done for showing how it should be done - nice and gentle, with no damage to the road or vehicle.
Totally agree. Thanks for commenting
Mud Terrain tyres don't damage the ground any more than any other types of tyres, and are certainly not a "menace". Have you ever driven a vehicle with MT tyres, because I suspect you have not. Tyres only dig holes when they are spinning, and a grippy tyre is less likely to spin. More damage is done to lanes by unsuitable vehicles with unsuitable tyres, spinning and skidding whilst trying to drag themselves along, than by properly equipped vehicles that just roll over the ground. And as for suspension lifts which you also say "are not necessary", I wouldn't want to tackle anything rougher than this lane (which is quite easy going) without one. These vehicles were near the limits of their abilities with their standard tyres and ground clearances. If there'd been any deep mud they would've certainly got stuck. You saw in the video how the back end of that Range Rover was dragging on the ground whilst climbing out of The Bomb Hole. He only just made that without damaging his car. And if that water crossing had been a bit deeper then that could've been a very expensive drive, Anyone who knows anything about offroading will tell you that a standard vehicle, even a Range Rover, will only take you so far. If you want to do it seriously, a modified vehicle is very necessary.
@@keithrushforth4019 Some valid points there Keith. Lets not forget though this was green laning in nice dry weather which is very different to off roading. The two vehicles were within their capabilities for the conditions. If you are doing serious off roading then mud terrains, winches and lifts etc are a must for sure. Unfortunately most of the damage done to our fantastic green lanes is not down to the vehicle or its modifications its down to the person behind the wheel. Drive it right, with consideration, and all is good. Thanks for taking the time to comment, hope you enjoyed the video overall. Cheers
@@WindinyourSails Your so right about the driver being the key. I just had to take issue with the comment about MT tyres being a "menace". People underestimate the damage done to lanes by water erosion. If you drive a lane, and then come back and drive it again after a spell of heavy rain, you can see the difference.
Nice Video! Impressive to see what the standard car can do. I've got a sport and quite fancy a few green lanes myself, when we're allowed out again.
What tyres did you have on the sport? and what size? Thanks!
Both very capable vehicles indeed. The Sport had Radar Renegade AT 265/60/20. Quite an aggressive chunky tyre that in our opinion makes the vehicle look much better than stock low profiles.
@@WindinyourSails Thanks for the reply!
I agree, I like the look of the bigger sidewall tyre, currently looking at changing mine.
Do you get any issues with rubbing at all?
@@robh143 No rubbing at all, perfect fit. Width is same as factory fitted low profiles so no issues there. Only difference is about an inch in diameter which is only half inch bigger each side, plenty of room. Speedo is knocked out by 1 or 2 mph if at all.
@@WindinyourSails perfect, cheers for the help!
I am from Ethiopia 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice L322.. like the white interior, just know I would have it looking horrible in about 2 weeks.
Thanks for posting - where do you buy those support helicopters?
Glad you liked the video. Yes the light cream interior is much nicer than black in my opinion. As for the chinook in support, we do like to be prepared for every eventuality 😂
