Looking for tyres for Cape Trip
« on: January 14, 2014, 03:01:59 PM »
Does anyone have a set of tyres - preferably mud - that will suit a 2011 Holden Colorado Diesel Dual Cab - leaving for the Cape in July and need some serious tyres with a high profile - need to lift the car as much as I can.

Anyone with advice as to what I should use it would be much appreciated.

Tell swaggers what size wheels you have. Are they 16s. What is your preferred tyre size. Also where are you, what state.

D4D was selling a good set of BFGs.

I'm no expert, but if you really need to lift your rig then you would be better off fitting a lift kit.

Bigger tyres may well have negative outcomes in regards to torque / power and fuel economy. 

Also, as a modern vehicle with air bags, you are probably limited to 2" total lift - weather body / suspension/ tyres.
