In just a few weeks, summer will truly have begun and it will soon be time to go on vacation. For some, this will mean traveling the world in a hostel or hotel, but for the more adventurous, it means camping and the outdoors! If you are in the latter category, my advice is to make sure you are well prepared. I’m not just talking about not forgetting anything at home! Your vehicle also needs to be ready to go on an adventure and it all starts with the tires.
Versatile choice: Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3
Rugged, efficient and produced by one of the world’s most renowned tire manufacturers, what more could you want? The Scorpion line of tires has a proven track record and the 115,000 km tread warranty on the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 proves it! Its low risk of aquaplaning combined with its impressive longevity make it a choice model for outdoor enthusiasts. In terms of grip, its 3D siped tread pattern and its rubber made of polymers specially created by the company do the job.
For SUVs: Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail
Of course, you’ll also have to adapt your choice to the type of vehicle you’ll be using for camping. An SUV has a lot of advantages in this kind of situation because of their extra space, but also because some of them integrate relevant technologies such as hill descent control or all wheel drive. For this type of vehicle, I recommend the Falken Wildpeak A/T for both their solidity and comfort. If you’re going on a long trip on all kinds of roads, the Wildpeaks’ sturdy sidewalls and deep grooves will come in handy.
Rugged Choice: Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015
Here’s another name that needs no introduction! At Yokohama, the Geolandar range is a popular choice and the latest in the line, the Geolandar A/T G015, is no exception. We love them for their very long life, but especially for their extreme resistance and their robustness. Perfect for off-road or rougher roads, their Enduro compound and Endurocore construction allows them to support you longer and keep you safe. If you haven’t tried their exceptional traction yet, now is the time to do so when you go camping this summer!
