Today 13 yr ago we came back from a life changing expedition on Iceland…

We crossed the border yesterday.
This was our first night in Portugal, so far a beautiful gravel road with heaps of flowers.

Dunes with a sea view. We left Tarifa yesterday, a small surf and kite surf town in the south of spain. We drove away from town and saw a big dune in the distance, 10 minutes later we drove over it and had lunch with a sea-view.

We drive to the south of Spain for a few weeks of warm weather before heading back to the North Pole for work.
We travel from the coast to a desert and upon leaving the desert we decide to drive over a high mountain pass. We find snow and have to spend our night here. As much as we were looking for the warmth. We can’t without the cold and a good layer of snow.

Southern Spain really surprised us. From extensive beaches to steep rock cliffs, every evening we manage to find a beautiful place to spend the night.
But besides the coast, Spain has three beautiful deserts. This photo was in a riverbed in the Tabernas desert.

As a true BFGoodrich fan, this is already my second pair of Coopers.
I said goodbye to my previous pair of Coopers after 8 years and 230,000 km. The tires were not yet halfway through their tread. But the rim that broke three weeks ago badly damaged one of the tires and 8 years is also long enough for a pair of tires.
The reason why I once again chose Coopers and not BFGoodrich is mainly because of the loading capacity. These tires have load index E or 1700kg per wheel. And I had several failures in the BFG’s. We obviously don’t need this high loadindex, but under technical conditions and warm temperatures like here in Spain, it is nice to have room in the load on the tire.
Other rims. Our other tires and rims were our BFGoodrich ATs on 10j Modular rims. Now the previous Coopera were on 8j Borbets. perfect offset for a 285 tire, but was a limitation in the car’s turning circle. Now that the aluminum rim is broken I am back on steel rims. Unfortunately I have no idea what brand it is. But they are easy to find at . No Modular this time, but visually the same, but made of thicker material. The thickness is equal to the wolf rims from Land Rover itself. It is a 10j rim which is also the maximum for a 285 tire. Many of you will say that there is a greater chance that the tire will come off the rim on a technical route, or that I could damage the rim. This is completely correct, but damaging a steel rim means something different than damaging an aluminum rim and putting a tire back on the rim is not nice, but it is easy to do if you have done that before.
We are currently three weeks into the new tires and rims. The new Discoverer STT Pro are the improved version of my previous one. The sidewalls of the tires would be even stronger thanks to the Armor Tec3. Another way of interweaving the layers that make up the tire. The noise on the highway is equal to our BFG ATs that we had sipped for the winter. And for beaches where tires can quickly heat up due to friction, they remain quite cool.

We’re getting closer to the southern tip of Spain and temperatures are rising.
