Hello!

Hello! My name's Paul, and I live in Manchester. Our Suzuki Vitara finally fell to pieces recently, and was deemed as unrepairable on it's MOT due to chassis rot. We travelled around looking for a replacement, and stumbled across a 98, 2.0 Sport S. It's done 72,000 miles and looks quite tidy.
So, we put a deposit down, and after the garage has replaced the exhaust for us, we should be picking it up over the next couple of days!

Now having dabbled in off-roading previously (NOT in the Vitara! I've had several Jeeps/Land Rovers), can I ask what type of tyres I could be pricing? The missus says that I'm not allowed to go off-roading as it's hers, but we all know what that means!

It will only be used to take her to work locally in general.

Anyway, I hope to speak to you all soon!

depending on how much you want to spend, you cant go wrong with BFG at's for everyday use and a bit of playing

Ello mate

hi paul and welcome to the site!!

Hi and welcome along :lol:

Hi and Welcome to the club!

I would reccoment BFG AT's as a general all purpose tyre. Expensive at between £80 - £100 a corner but a lot of places like kwik fit or ATS will offer you a discount if you buy 4 or more.I have had mine for 2 years and clocked up about 25,000 miles on em with a fair bit of laning and they have hardly worn at all. They handle as well as a road tyre on road, last for ages, relatively quiet on road and decent off road and very hard wearing.

hello

hiya.

Hi and welcome

Well we picked her up yesterday after the dealer changed the exhaust system for me. I'm quite impressed, there's a fair amount of noise from the roof, but my daughter said one of the retainers isn't clicked into place so I'll have to take a look at that.
I also have to change the front indicatore covers as they're a little grimy.
Other than that it's fine. By the way, is the 4wd on the Frontera full time, or does it lock the diffs?

As for tyres, I used to have BFG ATs on my Cherokee, so I know how nice they are

This has 255s on it, is this normal ?!

Thanks very much, I'll post some pictures ASAP.

frontera's are "selectable" and are rear wheel drive whilst in 2wd
theres no central diff ....and no diff locks

saying that ..you'd be suprised where we take them

Hello and

Im running Kingpin 31/10.50/R15 find them good on the road same sort of tread pattern as BFG's but only £47 a pop.
