Low Profile tyres offroad
I have been asked a few times why I hate low profile tyres for offroad use. I have explained to people about tyre bagging and the way in which it
increase traction.

We saw this one just stuck in the same track we had driven in the Kombi 30 mins earlier......
The guy said he wouldnt let the tyres down because he was trading it in next week......we left him and his mates to push it out
