Handling

[guy forks]

Would i be right in saying most people on the forum take there patrols of road.So most of the modifications are to suspension and tyres.I myself just like to drive it on the road,that's not to say i haven't been of road with it.I find my patrol a hand full in the wet.especially in corners.I don't know how many times i have lost the front end.Is this normal on patrols or is it down to the tyres i am running

It will be a tyre issue me thinks.............. I have no problems with mine in the wet but if this is your first 4WD you will have already gathered thay are nothing like a car to drive & your driving style should be adjusted accordingly as well............just my thoughts anyway & I hope thay help.

Yes it is my first 4wd.I have driving a lot of stuff but this is the worst in the wet.If the road is any way greasy its a handfull

Let some of the other members have some feed back on this issue as well so you as much info on it as possible but If I was you I would be looking at some new tyres asap.

I agree, definitely sounds like a tyre issue. Get a wheel alignment done as well to make sure there are no issues there.

I think for Ireland you should go to a reputable tyre dealer and look for road tyres they recommend for your four wheel drive in the cooler climates. Tyre compositions do change to meet diferent country climate conditons. (believe it or not)

you are driving a car with the aerodynamics of a brick and a high center of graverty.
