I just bought a set in that size, £296 delivered.
Can't remember offhand the name of the company who sell them but it's in The No Dosh Vitara Revamp.
They work a treat offroad and are surprisingly good onroad too!

Thanks for this matey. I appreciate it. Had a look at their website but I could only see a 205/70/15 is that what you went for? Prices are pretty good too!donkeychomp wrote:Decided not to be lazy and had a look.

Ah fair enough, which tread pattern did you go for from them?donkeychomp wrote:Nope, I got 215's! They must have some...give them a call maybe?
The 2 I looked at were puma (same as insa sahara) and lion ?

Re: tyres....how big can I go? what do you recommend?
Yeah. Power steering is in a box. Going in when the 1600 goes in.
Quite a lot of people run the sahara pattern. I know a few running the other, same as the insa turbo. I think for my needs they are a bit extreme. I do too many road miles. Dan2k is running 31" saharas i think.
What do you use it for the most? Green laning? Pay n play? Many road miles?

Cheers, do you recon 215/75/15 will fit on standard height with no/ minimal rubbing?
I was looking at these too for a few quid cheaper, what do you think? -
