New Boots for the Mog

After a long hesitation I finally decided to get  14.5-20 tires. The selection was Continental MPT 81, and they were not available from Finland at any sensible price. So I ordered them from "Rengas-Online", I guess tires were sent from Germany. The tire set was sent straight to a tire shop, where I drove the car and tires were changed. Now the ride is a bit smoother and rpms are a bit lower for a given speed. Now it looks more like an off-road vehicle. It remains to be seen how these tires can handle those sharp basalt rocks of Iceland highlands.



The spare tire is still 12.5R20, since the 14.5" is a bit tight in the place and can rub the bed when chassis moves.
