Suzuki 4WD Club of Victoria

Got the Hankook 215/75 MT's installed this morning. "Total Tyres" in Oakleigh, $160 each. He also threw me $40 for each of the Bridgestone 205/70's that came with the car (2000 km's on them). Total changeover cost of $600 for 5 tyres fitted and balanced, took about a half an hour. There's ...

I'll give them a call. Thanks Mike.

Aaannnddd I got onto VicRoads. Anything with a selectable 4WD is a 4WD, anything with AWD isn't categorised as a 4WD and standard 15mm tyre size modification limitations apply. Struth, how simple is that !?!

I ended up with my car on its side (not unusual for me) Lol. I don't really have any plans to put my little truck on it's side but I suppose nobody ever does and it happens anyway. Sounds like the ARB magnum might be one of my options, thanks. I see your point about needing it for any circumstances...

Thanks Steve, I'm going to check tomorrow anyway. I'm pretty anal to a fault. And thanks Mike, it's great to know that the Hankooks are a realistic tyre so I won't be worried about having the MT's. I'd been tossing up whether to keep the alloy rims or switch to steel. Since the steel rims were so ch...

Okay, now I have researched it myself. There's something called the "VSB 14 modification code LS" which has two different models depending on vehicle type. 4WD passenger vehicles (ADR categories NA, NB1, MC, MD at least in Victoria) can fall into options 1 or 2. Option 1 allows a tyre diam...

I was shopping around for some 215/75 R15's and noticed the Toyo ATII which looked good despite being AT rather than MT. I called Kmart tyre and auto and apparently the regulations have changed? The helpful chap on the phone said that increasing the tyre size by that amount would cause issues becaus...

Thanks Steve. That's all very useful stuff and a lot I didn't know about, I appreciate it and will take most of it on board. I'm not so sure about not using the roof space but you've made me certain that I'll not want to put anything heavy up there. That means that I'll have to think about how to ma...

Hi Everyone, I picked up my new 2015 Jimny about a fortnight ago. It's a weekender for me, I've also got a road car. Having said that I still want it to be okay on the roads so I can get to where I'm going. I was hoping to pick some brains for some tips? This is my first 4wd and I'm not going to be ...
