my suzuki needs new tyres

Post by suzuki-lover » Wed Sep 11, 2013 11:33 am

My Suzuki tyres are bald on the inside and I have been advised I need to replace them. Can anyone please recommend a site where I can buy tyres from due to being a family man I am unable to go to my nearest tyre supply company. All recommendations will be much appreciated.

just for plain road tyres i use blackcircles.com, they cant recognise the tyre size from my SJ reg no, but just chuck in the dimensions manually and see what comes up.

Last time i used them i paid online with the booked appointment they said, rocked up at the chosen garage and drove away with 2 new fitted tyres about 15-20 mins later.

Bought my last set from here. http://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/ Found the prices very good. Still thought it was cheap after i paid another £30 to have them fitted and balanced.

Like Tim said, I've always used black circles. Sounds like you might want a small adjustment on your tracking if you're running them bald on the inside edge.

Mine was wearing them on the outside more so I tweaked the toe out a bit; sounds like you need to adjust the toe in a bit. Should make your zook a little more stable on the way out of corners and in a straight line too.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Or you could be running them on to low of pressure.

I thought toe in/out is part of alignment not tracking??

.....It might be, but you adjust the toe with the track rod.
