LMAO that is pretty damn funny, i would have been cracking up if i was the camera man. look at his tires, the mud literally has made them a completely flat/bald surface. thats just a wrong place, wrong tires, wrong mud issue i would say lol. poor guy has some shitty luck.

That is funny. Too bad you can't get a decent tire for them.

The problem is...Land Rover has officially SOLD OUT to pop culture! Damn them..........

stolenheron · 01-16-2008, 06:37 PM

the stock tires i've got on my rover (Michelin Diamaris 4x4) went through some really fucking thick mud, and i didn't have that issue. i wonder what tires they had on that range....goodyear wranglers?

He had DSC on... it won't let you spin the tires at all. Cuts the engine.

I don't know if it is true or not but one of the notes under the video says he is pulling something.

stolenheron · 01-17-2008, 09:54 AM

...watch the video and look at rear of the rover. unless he is towing with extremely thin wire, or invisible rope he isn't towing anything.

Yea I was looking. Didn't see anything at all. But if it was a cable or something it would be difficult. I imagine that was just some very slimy mud along with tires being clogged up.

Time for tires with tread!

stolenheron · 01-17-2008, 12:26 PM

what??? i thought we were supposed to go offroad with drag slicks. lol

vince80 · 01-18-2008, 09:33 PM

I thought it was funny when he rolled down his window, trying to figure out whats wrong. Thats some crazy mud, because tires or not, it just doesn't seem right.

rmuller · 01-18-2008, 09:44 PM

If he wasn't towing anything, then it was 100% tires.. because you could see all tires were spinning, meaning differential control wasn't being applied to just one tire/side/end ..

cellulararrest · 01-19-2008, 05:21 AM

If you guys have driven one of the new range rovers you'd realize just how much DSC messes with stuff. It's not just traction control. It literally cuts the engine out so you can't spin the wheels. That is exactly what is happening there. It is meant to be turned off in mud.

You hit one button and it turns it right off. He would've been fine had he done that, bald tires or no bald tires. It was a flat surface.
