SOUTH Lakeland off-road driving firm Kankku have converted to specialist tyres designed to cope with the demanding conditions.
The Windermere-based company tests the nerve and skills of drivers on off-road tracks and trails through the national park.
But Kankku staff are now using Cooper Discoverer tyres on their vehicles to help them claw through muddy tracks and up mountains.
"Every day of the year a Kankku G4 Defender 90 sets out to drive some of the roughest, toughest and most remote off road trails in the country," said Kankku's Peter Firth.
"The Lake District is not a controlled off-road environment and Kankku does off-road driving for real with ever changing conditions and ever changing needs.
"The STT is an incredible tyre in three months they look like new."
