Vredestein launches first off-road tyre with all-weather, all-terrain Pinza Price: Varies Available from: www.vredestein.co.uk APOLLO TYRES HAS LAUNCHED ITS FIRST DEDICATED ALL-TERRAIN TYRE, the Vredestein Pinza. Designed to be ‘comfortably rugged’, this is an all-weather, all-terrain fitment for 4x4s, pick-ups, and SUVs that are used on and off-road. The tyre is based on a three-ply carcase and features a three-pitched shoulder and sharp edge blocks for efficient self-cleaning and additional grip on loose surfaces. It’s also designed for low noise and good road manners, in particular for all-round grip and responsive steering. Already well established in the USA, the Pinza is available here in two forms: ‘P’ and ‘LT’. The latter is intended for working vehicles which are primarily used in more demanding off-road conditions, with the ‘P’ has a more road-biased design to suit passenger-carrying SUVs. In each case, the Pinza carries the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake logo, meaning it’s approved for use as a winter tyre in nations where this is a thing. It’s initially available in 24 sizes, with more to follow.

Half a century ago, in the days before the phrase ‘green laning’ had been invented, a bunch of suave young chaps-about-town borrowed an Austin Champ and put it on the Motorail train to Devon for a weekend of japes and wheezes. With their King’s Road haircuts and Sgt Pepper clobber, they must have looked quite a sight as they explored the countryside, and they certainly got noticed… and reported to the local police a couple of times. Their story survives today because they told it in, would you believe, an early issue of Custom Car magazine. And it’s being told again now because the publishers of 4x4 have just bought Custom Car, giving us the chance to unearth what has, over time, become a really valuable historical document. Notably, while their laning was as anarchic as you’d expect, by the end of the weekend they had learned some of the lessons that have become everyday wisdom today. Bringing things right up to date, we’ve been laning ourselves – aboard an all-electric Skoda Enyaq iV. Those 4x4-haters who
