Michelin is on a mission with its new range of off-road tyres. So has the new Wild RockR² accomplished that mission? James investigates.

After seeing the light on a recent road trip to Austria, James walked away from the stresses of running a design agency, picked up a camera and is several years deep into a mid life crisis that shows no sign of abating.
