- Vito 108cdi 2000
Dear All
First post here and am after a bit of advice. I have a 2000 Vito 108 cdi, converted from panel van to camper. It generally performs and handles well, but conversion has caused it to be slightly tail-heavy, and this has exacerbated the already a bit iffy wheelspin issue on the drive wheels. This makes it prone to getting stuck on soft or wet ground (particularly on campsites - a bit of a problem!) Can anyone shed any light on the use of offroad, or slightly 'nobblier' tyres to give me a bit more grip on these surfaces, without compromising fuel economy and road handling too much?
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Thanks
Sparrowman
