Re: silverstrones xtreme on suzuki
wearing them out wont be a problem, as the zuk does not weigh much, but an aggressive pattern for a light truck. The zuks best benefit is that it is light and can get across stuff without digging in, where as the silverstones will counter-act that a bit and make the truck tend to dig in more.others will have differing opinions on this but I ran a set of 31*12*15 super swampers on my 413 and they tended to dig me more in than got me out of stuff.

With the grip on the tyres you will be more likely to break cvs. They are a very good tyre and you will be amazed where you can go running these tyres. If you are planning on mud these would be one of the best tyres out there, you dont want a very wide tyres for mud.

If they are real cheap and you have a lift to suit just do it. Mates vitara with simexes on it went really well. No cv breakages. You can damage cv's with any tyres. cv angle whether the tyre is spinning and hitting the ground can affect it too.
I think the gearing might be a bit average after putting 31's on there maybe.
They do dig a bit but are worth trying if the price is right.

Re: silverstrones xtreme on suzuki
i have these on my samuri, great tyre but useless on rocks,
don`t wear much as no weight, i saying that need to experiment
with tyre pressure to suit your driving style.
hope this helps
