New Tyres

Post by TomBod08 » Sun Apr 14, 2013 7:38 pm

Just been off roading for the first time in my SJ, it performed really well. But I would like to get some beefier tyres. Has anyone got any recommendations on what size, make, width etc. to go for?

Ahh, it will probably be about 80% off road and 20% on road, so thats okay. Will they fit onto my SJ with standard height?

yep, they'll fit. they are only like 26 1/2" so should be fine. a lot of people use this thread pattern, which performs really well, I'm just don't know about the quality of the rubber for this particular brand

**EDIT, this is for the 205 tyres, not the 235 daz was talking about
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

195 80 15 or 215 75 15 are good standard sizes

As far as I know 195 is standard on sj . 215 standard on sami and 205s are jimny standard.
That tread pattern. had it in various size's and they have been great

But avoid amazon technic Brand I had them and they perished after a few months!
