hey have a stock standard 1983 suzuki sierra the 1 liter version and i want to get some muddies for it but i dont want to go to big cause i dont want to get the lift kit for it yet or i dont want to damage the body tring to put big ones on im not to sure whats a good tire but i have been looking at the Mud-Terrain T/A because i dont want to muddies to be to big so whats a good muddie that i can fit on a stock standard sierra without any mods

[BJPK]

wrong thread matey. 215 75 15 will fit stock and offer a good improvement offroad.

[Scrawny]

You want a 215/75R15. Slightly bigger than standard but will still fit ok. BFG do their muddie in that size.
Oh, and don't be afraid to use a little punctuation

i run the BFG all terrains, and they've never let me down. on road performance is pretty good, as long as you remember its a 4x4 and not a sports car, theyre not very noisy considering their tread pattern, they're aggressive enough to handle mud, yet able to handle sand relatively well, and they are unbeatable on gravel roads.

only negative comment i have about them is their grip on wet tarmac, or should i say lack of grip...

i payed $265 each tyre fitted and balanced last time, so they're not cheap, but IMO waaaaaaay worth the extra cost

he's asking about mud terrains not mall terrains....

Um i have maxxis bighorns, 235/75R15. no lift required, heaps soft for a light car, and if you find the right shop they will fit them on stock rims

[31zook]

also cost only 180 each

x2 I have these.

Good in the sticky stuff, suprisingly quiet on road (for a muddy) and last night I drove home in a huge storm. They handled the wet road very well.

I definitely recommend them, and at the price they are, you can't go wrong!

[orangeshannon]

ok i have found the tires that i am gona go with for my suzuki i have choosen the bf goodrich mud terrains because i was able to get them for a good price and they would go great on my suzi in the mud thanks for all your help

[Ben_Sierra]

A good price for BFGs is still a lot of money!

not sure about that. i know quite a few people that rate bighorns above BFG's and most other things for that matter

[Ben_Sierra]

Well, yes and no...

I'm yet to find a reason why BFGs are 100 a corner more than Bighorns...

[orangeshannon]

so what else do u guys/girls recond i should do to my car is there any good mods i could do that arnt all that major? scince this photo i have done really dark black tinited windows and a cd player i just want to do some mods now that would improve offroad performance and i would be getting wheels for it just befor these up coming hoildays

[Ben_Sierra]

Define "all that major".

What is your budget? What sort of wheeling do you do?

A good 2inch lift, some decent rubber, and gearing if you go big on the tyres are the 3 basics that will get you going on the way to modded zook heaven!

[orangeshannon]

yeah well i live up in the yarra valley so the type of drive i would do is mainly mud and im getting the bf goodrich mud terrains and i was thinking about doing to lift but im not to sure at the moment cause im still a student and im not getting much money and the wheels is really gona make a nice little mark in the bank account what about a body lift would that make it any better off roading?

[Ben_Sierra]

Body lift is only useful for clearing bigger tyres. Nothing more...

[orangeshannon]

yeah i just got back 4x4in in the stock sierra up narby and allmost got stuck but then it dont help cause it was raining but i was suprised how well it went i think the hill was a bit to steep and really muddy but i managed to get back home safly with out any damage but i think i might get those tires for it there gona be my next big spend
