Has anyone had any experience with these tyres?
I have heard that they are a fairly decent budget tyre.

Generally bigger is better. I just use welding cable because its more flexi. Mine is actually 70mm, just went and checked. If I was winching more or had a bigger starter I'd probably go bigger. Its because of the distance though. If your still mounting the batteries in the engine bay that big would...

Re: Suzuki Second Battery

Higher CCA rating = better. I'd be looking for 600 at least. The other way batteries are rated is amp-hours (Ah) but I'm not sure how relevant those ratings are for winching, since they're based on a slow draw over 20 hours. "Deep cycle" will take a greater depth of discharge without dama...
