Tyres for 15" vitara wheels
Hi guys thinking about getting some off road tyres for my 99 vitara. Going to put them on the standard rims. Was looking at 235/75/15 will these fit the rims ok? Also any advice on brand tread pattern?
Thanks in advance

I'm running 235x80r15s on my 15" samurai wheels with no problem!
What kind of off roading are you looking at doing? Will you be doing lots of road miles as well?
Is it a daily driver?
Best to know that kind of thing before picking tyres

It will mainly be for off roading, have a van for the boring road miles. Haha. Was looking at a set of malatesta kaimans????

Re: Tyres for 15" vitara wheels
They have a bloody good tread pattern for the muddy stuff!
Two things about them though...
Firstly they are remoulds so probably won't last as long as non-remould tyres... but the price kind of reflects that
Secondly you need to be a little bit careful with them as if your wheel is spinning in the air, then lands and gets grip on something hard you can break stuff like CV joints
Usually happens with bigger tyre sizes (31+) but I have know someone to knacker a CV like that on 195r15 special tracks!!!
