Hello, I have read as many of the tyre threads as possible, however some of the technical language is over my head.
Also some of the threads are from 2016 and 17.
I have a 2017 Manual Ocean 150. Not a 4 motion.
I live in an area of the Peak district that has a climate about 4 degs lower than even 5 miles away, so I have to be prepared for ice and snow much later and earlier in the year than many places.
I camp on sites, but like to be off grid, so I am often just on a grass pitch, I also stay in this country as yet, so do not need to consider hot climate driving.
I think I have original tyres......215/60 R 17 C 109/107T 104H Contivan contact 200
I have read about 4 season, ATR???, MnS??? all season, cross climate tyres. Having a second set, which may be possible for winter,( I have a cellar I could store them) but as I said earlier, our spring can be changable well into June. Our daffodils are still fresh mid May here!
I do often have to face driving "The Cat and Fiddle" in all weathers, if any of you are aware of that particular road, it is the only way out of here often.
And then I have read about the speedometer issues that change with differenct types of tyre and maybe the height of the vehicle changing and then about the 'loading' being right. I am ignorant of all of this.
I live in a smallish town, quite a way from any specialized tyre places so I am not totally confident that the tyre providers I will be using will be knowledgable about these sort of details, so it is down to me to be educated.
I am hoping I have given all the information needed to have some really sound advice on this issue.
Thank you for reading about tyres yet again.
