Hi I'm Grant from East Sussex

Post by grantmelton1 » Mon Nov 17, 2014 7:22 am

I've had my jimny abot a month now and us it every day for work i think its a JLX+ see pic (what model is this exactly)and i love it. I get 38 -40 mpg and i dont have trapped wind any more !

I was after some larger tread tyres for it but cant decide if to get steels instead of the alloys.

What do you think and can you recommend anywhere in East Sussex.

Hi Grant from a fellow East sussex member. I would keep the wheels and
just change the tyres. As for buying new mud tyres, how aggressive do
you want to go :?: I have a bit of experience in the tyres field. Regards Allan.
I Know how to work it. Not, how it works...............
believe me, there is a difference!!!
