So nobody has actually said - thoughts on the shops with standard tyres?

Doesn't have quite the same effect, may as well just put a set of aftermarket wheels on with standard tyres.
Is there not a crosover tyre he could use, not quite so outlandish as the ones on the Adventura but not standard roads tyres? Would make it look the peice and be worth the effort then IMO.

How is anyone going to take your dad seriously if he drives around in an over-sized childs toy?

I'm sorry but as I've mentioned before I'm not a fan of French motors and I even have one in the household, but this is f*cking cool and if I was going to have one of those Cactus things I wouldn't want it to be anywhere near standard and I'd want it as a toy...who cares how people take me

There I was thinking the whole point of a cross-over car was to give you the driving position of a 4x4 without some of the commercial impracticalities without being so fussed about its off-road abilities not the complete opposite: A car that looks like it could drive up a mountain but would probably shit a drive-shaft going over a speed bump too fast.

Can you imagine the school run being done in a motor like this, well equiped to deal with proper urban teritory

Ive had a go and it drives canny, also does circa 90mpg...
I quite like them and my shop, i agree the tyres would be better a bit beefyer - but is it worth buying new rubber ... Maybe not

Upgrading cars by putting on steelies.
Also I'm sorry to say, but the bar you've fitted looks horrible. It should be wider and sit under the numberplate like on the Aventure.
