AT tyres on 2WD cross-over car. Is it worth it?
Discussion
I currently own a Citroen Cactus. I love it. I have no intentions of changing it, it suits my needs (almost) perfectly.
That said, recently, due to wanting to access some off-the-beaten-path areas for drone photography shoots, I'm wanting to do some basic soft-roading. For the most part, I'm sure the Cactus will handle it well, but thinking longer term, I'd hate to get stuck. Again, I don't really want to change cars.
So, would a small lift (to accommodate the bigger tyres), some nice steel wheels and some AT tyres really make a sufficient difference to a 2WD car? I'm not talking hardcore green-laning and the like, just muddy roads and fields.
Conceptually speaking, I'm thinking this:
Lift, steels, AT tyres and a roofbox for kit - I can't see the need for the bullbars or the silly flag!
