Thanks.

Try doing a search we have covered this topic many a time.. Any new member should try using the search function as it will answer the majority of your questions about things like this.
If you can't find it then we willl be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

Or "How big is too big - get the tape measureand i'll drop my dacks"
All joking aside it is becoming boring when the same questions get asked over and over. You don't think someone has asked what size tyre before. There was even another thread about tyre size a couple of lines below. Also you find the silly questions are asked then they never reply back with a thanks etc. There is a very useful sticky thread about buying Suzukis etc. All it takes is a few moments to do a search on the board and see what has been asked before

grimbo,some of us ,(unlike yourself)wouldn't have a clue on how to use the search section.
Instead of answering him saying "use search",why didn't you just answer his question???
It would have saved YOU putting YOUR information in TWICE.
It also helps if questions are answered,because i'm sure there is more than 1 person waiting on replies to the same thread.
Just my 2 cents worth,ignore it if you wish.

james I know what you mean .. But if the same question is asked repeatedly people do get sick of answering it .. then the brains trust goes and hangs out elsewhere where they can stay interested in the topics as they are not the same old thing over and over ...
BTW you search by clicking on the search button at the top of the page ... Its pretty easy .. if you can type and use a mouse .. you can search
Also some say Suzuki axles will cop 36's some will say 31's .. some people (like Sam from overkill broke two axles or CV's can't recall which in his driveway ... ) So do a searh .. have a look .. there are 737 topics in here with over 10,000 responses ... thats a huge knowledgebase to draw on.
Please dont take this as an assult on you .. But after a while it gets annoying and I know why grimbo gets into search nazi mode ..
" If governments are involved in the covering up the knowledge of aliens, Then they are doing a much better job of it than they do of everything else "
If you cant figure out how to use the search function how the hell are you going to lift your 4x4? 
Forums like these work if you use them to educate yourself. Don't expect to be spoon fed the answers you're looking for
Read the FAQ while you figure out the mysteries of the search button.
Damn I must have gotten out on the wrong side of bed today...

You can't be serious can you?
Like greg said it is not a personal attack on anyone just a suggestion to help yourself, have a look around you may be surprised what you will find with a little bit of searching.

grimbo, i know how to use the info on different forums.I just placed myself with the few people who don't,instead of telling them that basicaly they're an idiot.
The term "newbies"means that this could possibly be there 1st time on ANY forum.
All i'm saying is give them a go.
Isn't that what this forum is for...........to help people.
I understand totally where you are coming from.....but instead of getting annoyed,either don't answer their question OR put your suggestion about using the search engine to them in a polite and friendly way.
I have 3 boys who have not used a forum yet and i hope 1 day,if they hop on this forum they will get met with help instead of dissappointment.
Cheers James.
Oh and grimbo,these thoughts are not to insult anybody.
They are merely suggestions.

Tonks - if it's really a quick and simple answer that you wanted - then here it is:
The axels on your sierra will handle any size tyre (up to at least a 36" Swamper). However this is completely dependent upon how you drive it, and what you drive it on.
i.e. people break sierra axels on as small a size as a 27" tyre... but these are normally when a full noise or when the tyres are jammed into a crevase or something.
I would suggest that in competition format you would want to be able to drive your car on the rev limiter all the time with as much reliability as possible. Perhaps this is not the right situation to be using stock sierra axels.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
ps.. if they are widetrack diffs i think you should sell them to me if you upgrade to something bigger

I can't see anything wrong with Grimbo's original post . If someone has usful info on this sort of topic then post it in the sticky topic then we can just direct the Newbie's ther for the required info.
The same question may get boring but we were all Newbies at some stage.

Giday Tonks,
Heres how i see it Tonks , Your 32 pedes are a pretty high traction tire,
If you mainly drive on soft gravely surfaces and mud , and you are running standard ratio transfer , then it will be fiarly reliable,
under the above circumstances you could run upto 38s probly,With attention to throttle usage.
As you do the mods on your zook lower your gearing add horspower drive on more demanding surfaces with Manoverability needs - tight turns up extreme rocks ect , then your zook C/vs at the front will become a Very Very limiting factor to your progress,
And to be honest there is no fun in thinking all the time you are driving somthing that, I hope the c/vs don,t spit agian.
Your reliability ,Is part of the fun !!
Another thing that I don,t know weither you are aware of Is the amount Traction and extra strian lower pressures have as well.
Oh and PS ,
Please don,t take the views of respondents as the, Views of the forum.
There is rarely a new question asked, and i would say 95% Of Q are the same type or related , If your worried about posting somthing Just use the PM button To somone you Know won,t bite !!
Maybe we need a newbie friendly Topic As they have in some of the other forums .
Grimbo , I can see where your comming from , But hey You could have answered the question with the same amount of typing
Or do you Keep a copy of the post for re: entry
Is a better Question than one about cup holders or Football
