That looks fantastic. What size and make of tyre? Is your Caddy lifted or stock height?

I'd love a low Caddy, but I live up a mountain, so this setup is what I'm looking for.

I spend a lot of time in the hills - climbing, biking, walking. So low just wasn't an option plus the traction on normal tyres was gash. It's sitting on standard suspension at the minute although I keep considering a lift kit. I'm running Avon AX7, they're not quite as aggressive as some of the other A/T tyres out there but most of my mileage is on the road so I needed a compromise. They are a massive improvement over standard road tyres. They are 215/65R16 and I've never had a problem with rubbing or catching, even on full lock.

Thanks man. Appreciate the reply and info. I was looking at Falken Wildpeak, but those Avons look like a good shout. Slightly less aggressive than the Falkens but still have presence. And great to hear a first-hand account of someone who's run them on a Caddy.

No worries, mine have been on for just over 2 years now, that must be 25000 miles and there's still plenty of life left in them.

That’s quite the look! As someone who spends a fair bit of time in the country, a practical set up like this is highly appealing.

Thanks a lot for these info… I hope to get this upgrade as soon as possible

I'd have sworn that front end was jacked-up a touch - think its time for new dampers at the front on mine!

Very nice looking van.
I’m looking for a maxi life at the minute and will probably go down the mild a/t tyres route, just for better grip on loose surface roads and mud /snow.
Have you done much driving in bad conditions? Just wondering how the caddy performs in general.

I’d have loved a 4wd but from my searching I can’t seem to find anything like that.

If you're on Facebook, check out the Caddy Swamper Club. Plenty of people over there taking their vans different places. I've recently gone swamper and never looked back.
