I am looking at purchasing a 4WD motorhome. The typical units are OKA, Canter and ISUZI NPR with GVMs up to 6.0 tonnes.
I would like some comments from anyone on suitable replacement tyres. For sand driving you require a lower pressure and larger contact area. The problem is the standard tyres on these vehicles are not suitable for lower pressures due to the size (say 7.5R16 on the Canter).
Any comments on replacement tyres and/or rims or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rob

We had the only Oka in NSW Rural Fire Service... It was a boat!!! Floundered around like nothign! It only had one shock each corner, with provisions for 2 shocks each corner, so this would have helped..
Okas are no longer made, so parts might be a bitch to get. Tour operators would buy any Okas that come up forsale to keep as spares, or have them made up at any cost...
Stick with something you have a remote chance of parts on in remote areas.....
