I've bought a set of new Malatesta remoulds for a VW Beetle Baja I'm building to take to the Sahara and back. I've gone for BFG AT pattern tyres for the lo ...

Thanks George but they're going on a beetle and they're for road, sand and gravel .... serious chunky tread will simply bury the car.

I've bought a set of Malatesta BFG A/T copies .....

Yes, welcome back.

A question for you, sir.

235/75 r15s looking for a 80/20 on/off road AT tyre that's not got a massive weight rating and won't cost me £000s

Suggestions?

Welcome back. We've missed your "More on my Alldays".

Not much been happening ... more repairs, more fettling and lots of driving

I thought mine were great.

They're steel. I use a magmount for my d4's 2m/70cm radio

Have you checked the airflow or air filter?
Is there a broken or damaged wire on the engine shut off side?

And that's the sum total of my knowledge Embarassed
