there is a substantial price difference between speedy/csa and ROH. Whislt the ROH used to be made in australia, they could charge a little more. NOt only that, the quality of a ROH trak11 is a lot better- it's a thicker steel in the wheel. get alloys dude, they are cheap as chips these days ...

Peter, I reckon the 245/75R16 are a bit a dud size if you ask me, especially for a 60 series. the 265/75R16 should fit no drama's plus it's a generic size, so it'sa lot cheaper in all brands and pattens. not being a 60's owner, i'm not sure if a 16x8 will fit on the beast however it may be an option ...

mate the best value for money would be to change over to a 16x7 and squeeze a 265/75R16 on her. Bridgestone makea new tyre called a D694 LT. These are a huge improvement over their predecessors. they come out in a 123R load rating and are made in Japan. a 16x7 rim shouldn't cost more than $80 a ...

tip i've heard of for setting a bead. haven't tried it but it seems safer than the lighter fluid trick. get a bicycle inner tube the right size for your rim (i.e.16in, dunno if you can get 15in tubes), inflate it and use it to seal the gap between the tyre and the rim. pull it out just as the tyre ...

I can't answer that question for you. Very good results can be achieved with a vitara, but the path of building a reliable capable car is harder. Sierras are cheaper, lighter and simpler, but will never match the comfort or stability of a vitara. A sierra can be built to run a bigger tyre easier ...

Don't go for a Vitara then. Vitaras have their strengths, including the ability to build lots of wheeltravel for an IFS design, but they aren't more durable than a rodeo. Preparation and maintenance are very important for cars driving mud. Generally, cars tend to run trouble free for a while and ...

Rodeo's Prado's(newer ones) Subaru's all do it, outside edge, front tyre. it's not the alignment as such. it's due to cornering. Take note next time you see a soccer bus (prado) hurling round a roundabout. the left hand front tyre just gets swallowed underneath, because the vehicle over steers. Take ...

A tin of flyspray/deoderant/ aeroguard. when bead of tyre pops off and can't re seat it (pussies!) spray inside tyre and light it. BOOM! tyre "should" pop onto rim. or you have no eyebrows. Alternatively you can buy a rubber ring that they use in tyre shops for about $60 that will seal between wheel ...
