How I originally chose BFGoodrich All Terrain 245/75/16 tyres for my Sprinter camper van and why I changed them for 235/65/16 Michelin Agilis CrossClimates...

Here in the UK bfg all terrains are £250 a tyre. Maxxis do a remould for £156 so thats my next tyre to try. Ive had the Agillis on and they are very hard wearing

I am using 225/75/16 Michelle Agilis Cross Climate on my 4x4 , great on wet rocks, side protection good enough, no so good in the mud but big + advantage i can visit europe even in the winter time M+S on side wall, great video btw👌

Thanks for this! Lots of hard work in research and great insight into your experience. I’ve got a mk8 transit and what you’ve said about the bfg and using lower gearing has put me off. The cross climates look great and I think prob a more sensible option. Thanks for this insightful review

Fitted these on my transit, felt a bit heavier & stiff, tuck a bit of the nippiness away on take off but apart from that they're great

The more I drive with them the better I feel about them especially after 1 or 3 long drives in torrential rain...

The BFGs are an excellent tyre, BUT they are a heavy tyre this affects acceleration and braking as they take more energy to get them up to speed and they act like a big flywheel when braking, this increases pad wear. I have them on a Hilux in standard size and lost 2mpg over the factory fit tyres and brake pads lasted 15k less (both genuine pads) they are fine in my application as the pros outweigh the cons but I wouldn’t fit them to out T5 it will be Michelin CC2s when it’s due tyres.

When I watched your video a few months back, it's made me consider the usual camper van path. I have a Sprinter 5t twin wheel van, and imagined I'd also go the A/T tyre route. But I was always considering that if Mercedes spent millions designing the van, maybe the tyre size (195/75/16) Axle ratio, automatic gearbox gearing were all designed at one item. Then watching your video it confirmed my worry. I'm now considering a slight increase to 205/75/16's in the Michelin Agillis Crossclimates. I'll be travelling round the world and wanted A/T's, for the extra insurance of the side walls and handling of gravel roads. So after a year, are you a confirmed standard size tyre man, or have you updated thoughts on the matter. Seriously hard to find a voice of caution like yours, so any advice would be gratefully received.

The simple answer is yes. Very happy with the CrossClimates in all conditions. Sounds like you have an epic journey planned. I hope all your adventures are great ones!

Kleber are a good brand too, my understanding is they are made by Michelin's factory in Eastern Europe, so they are good quality just a bit cheaper. Very useful video by the way, I have to say I can't see the off road tyres helping a lot in mud on a RWD drive vehicle, my experiences in muddy fields is that the treads just fill up with mud, I agree the all season tyres with the Mud/Snow symbol are a good compomise for British roads and are great on wet grass as long as it hasnt turned to mud.

Thanks for the feedback. Agree on the rear wheel drive issue, rubbish in mud (The BFG's on the Defender were not that great in snow either at seriously sub zero temperatures when the ridges filled up and the snow turned to ice). The wider BFG's were great for the plethora of potholes everywhere you drive up here in Scotland though... Very happy with the CrossClimates, but definitely not an off road tyre on a Sprinter

What Tyre would you suggest for my ford transit fwd ? I would be hauling up to 1tonne of tools daily
@RedNemesisDogPrime
@RedNemesisDogPrime 8 дней назад
I am probably not the right person to ask as I am no expert. As I understand it you have to get tyres that can deal with the axle weight as a priority. After that, its about size and durability I guess. I specifically wanted the cross climate because of the weather up here in Scotland.

I now am on my second van with the Michelins and are just so good. Ride, safety, durability, grip and chunky looks . Just now want to compare in snow. Have you considered getting a remap done to up power and torque?
@RedNemesisDogPrime
@RedNemesisDogPrime Год назад
I did consider a remap way-back-when but other priorities took precedent as is often the case.

@@VEHICROS In the US the tire you get is the "Agilis CrossClimate LT", in Europe it's the non-LT version. Close name but different tire, I think the US version is non-directional.
