Re: tyres....how big can I go? what do you recommend?
Treads the same as the sahara. Should be pretty good. All depends on the quality of the casing. I know it'll be £260 for a set but i'd be tempted to give them a whirl at that price.
I'm over my dads tomorrow so whilst i'm there i'll get the tyres size off the SJ and measure the diameter.

How are they? Casings seem ok? Quality wise worth the money? For a cheap tyre that is?

So far I can't fault them. In the snow they were great, as good as my old Insa's, in the mud it just chewed it all up.
On road they are as quiet as a road tyre.
I did google these before I bought them and they had a very good write up.
So all in all I am a happy bunny

Sound. I thought they be a bit extreme for the road.

I went for 215/75/15 puma's. I'm 'hoping' they will fit on standard height with a plan to do a small lift in future.......fingers crossed!!dazerede wrote:not bad tyres i would do the same jordi spend a bit more and get the insa turbo sahara
