I must just mention regarding tyre choice. This is always a bone of contention between vehicle owners ..... I like value for money, and I bought my Kumho 33" M/T's because they were highly recommended by various people and were at the time about R800/tyre cheaper than some other also highly recommended brands.
If you check that last youtube video, we were driving on an incline on ice constantly blown in by that wind, and my tyres NEVER slipped once. I felt 100% confident that we were solidly planted on the ground.
This even with the tyres having only about 40% tread left.
I have another video that I must upload, but need to edit some of the time off as I recorded too much standing still time before driving through the really thick snow. Again I was gobsmacked at the traction I had.
Grant was riding on new Maxxi Bighorns MT and also seemed to do just as well as the Kumho's.
So generally they are very noisy, but I think all M/T's are, difficult to balance when they get older, but I think that all M/T's are, and they grab both mud, sand and rock like a baboon with his hand in a jar holding onto the scrap of food.....
Very happy customer of Kumho !!!

Re: Nissan Club Lesotho Trip 2012
Great footage Cedric just one thing when you pan with a video camera you must do it very slow, me thinks me would have been sh#t scared driving in that snow falling on those Lesotho roads

Re: Nissan Club Lesotho Trip 2012
Thanks Jules
Yeah the video was taken with my Nokia N8, and was a bit disappointing on how shaky it was..... was probably me that was shaking ... I normally have it sitting in a cellphone holder that sticks to the windscreen.
I didn't listen if there was any ummm bad language on the vids either .... .... my work PC don't have no speakers

Re: Nissan Club Lesotho Trip 2012
Yeah that's why I bought the N8. it has a 12MP camera and HD video. Its almost time for my upgrade, and am wondering which phone will give me the same capabilities.
I run my Garmin XT on it too which connects to my Parrot bluetooth car kit so even with the radio blasting out a little Iron Maiden, I can still hear when to turn....
