Winter!

Its taking its time getting here, but Winter is just around the corner.

Now running my winter tyres, although not on the Vito Steels I ran last year.
I recently came across some VERY rare 15″ Atiwe pepperpots or Cheesehole (Käse-Loch) as theyre sometimes known… shame not to use them!

Tyres are 205 70 15 Hankook Icept
Seem quite good so far. I ran a pair of Hankook mud and snow on the rear last year and it transformed the grip and roadholding when driving on snow.

Information about the Atiwes is hard to come by. They were supplied by Atiwe specifically for the T3 (as well as the more common 14″ version). Dehler fitted them to a few Profi conversions, and there is a set fitted to the Magma Syncro in the Volkswagen museum.
Other than that, there doesnt seem to be too much information out there.

They were a lucky find for me, a German friend found them for sale whilst searching for a set of 13″ Atiwe rims for a Golf.
