Will Simex ET 31/10.5/15 fit on a suzuki escudo?

Post by daymo »

Hey guys.
Have come across a set of second hand simex tyres, and was wondering before I part with some hard earned dosh, if they will fit on a suzuki escudo, with what width rims?

We have the simex ET 29 inch on at the mo, but have recently done a 50mm spring lift, and wanting to get some bigger tyres.

Have browsed all the threads here and not found if anyone has put these on an escudo, as i know that they actually measure just over 32 inch, and everyone seems to say that 31s are the max?

As our escudo is an auto, will we also need to get some manual diffs which are lower ratio to try and correct the gearing?

What else could be done, was trying to avoid a body lift if possible, altho it is trailered everywhere at the mo, and the wof recently ran out, not sure about pursuing getting another one any time soon.

Any other suggestions for a good mud tyre?
Could pay a bit more and get new silverstones, mt 117s I think they are, but the 2nd hand simexs are in the budget, as price does dictate a lot.

The Silverstone 31's are 30.7" when inflated. You may need to do a bit of guard chopping to fit Simexs. Silverstones are cheaper but you dont get as long life out of them compared to the Simex. Body lift would be an easy way out.

yes second that, the body lift would be an easy way of getting the clearance required.
