XL7 tyres

Post by Chicken Legs »

Could any XL7 owners please tell me what brand and size (eg 235/60 16) tyres you are running. Also any problems you my have had.
The options in the maket are not varied as I am used to on 15in rims.
I am hoping to run a narrow but tall profile to reduce the chance of scrubing on the insde of the guard.

Pretty hard to find one that size. I have been looking for one and the only one I could find was from Bridgestone.

I am tossing up with either the Bridgestone 235/60/r16 or doing a OME lift and a 235/70/r16 BFG All terain for my Grand Vitara.

I had the Bridgestone's before I went to the BFG muddies, and the Bridgestone's are crap. Lasted about 25,000kms, terrible to drive on and off road. Had the BFG's now for about 50,000kms and still a good 40-50% tread on them. Ran 235/70R16's on a 1" body lift, then got suspension. Needed to round off some edges on the front plastic bumper.

There are some photos in the gallery @ http://www.4lux.net

Shame they don't fit over the front brake calipers. This would have been the first thing I do.
