Are you worried about taking the plunge?
(Preview)
Hi to all. Have been a member for a while and have been quietly navigating the forum, hoping to learn plenty before we took the first step into travelling this great country.

Tyres
(Preview)
I have to get a new set of tyres. I currently run Cooper Discoverys, but I'm disappointed. Yes they have deep treads, but once they get near the end of their life the wear very quickly. I'm 90% on tarmac and pull a 2.5 ton van with a Pathy. I would be interested to hear reader's views on the best tyres to get.
