Hi Karizma,

Why not a full-blown MT Tyres.

Keep one set for Road and Another for off-road.

Some consideration for the Gypsy

1) Maxxis Trepador 235-75-15
2) Yokohama 7.00X15 (720/742)
3) Firestone 7.00X15 (M&S)

Army Tires

The 7.00X15 Tyres were (are) imported for Mahindra FC Vans.

Regards,

Arka

Hi Karizma,

The Yokohama/Firestone 7.00X15 are available in Chennai, from time to time.

Regards,

Arka

PS - If you consider up sizing to 16" Rims, you open up a world of possibilities in Skinny Tyres.

BF = hates slush. It doesn't have cleaning channels and become slick in seconds. On road again the thread pattern gives more confidence in Yoko's. Only issue with Yoko they have softer sidewall so wont take as much abuse as BF on rocky terrain.

Karizma Sir,

The Yoko's (7.00X15) were/are available in a couple of tyre shops near Sathyam Cinema. I don't have any of the dealer details or contact no.s.

Will get the info, when I go looking for tyres.

In 2009, they were quoting Rs4200/- Tyre & Tube.

Regards,

Arka

Unless you go for negative offset tyres, it will touch the leaf. The lift will increase vertical height. It won't compensate for width. Or you will need to put a steering stop.

This belongs to 90's Samurai.

Other than aesthetics what is the specific advantage of this rim over OE gypsy rims?

I think the negative offset and that resulting in more wider tyres, correct me guys if I'm wrong.

Anyday steel rims are better, but only thing our Mahindras doesn't have good kingpin or upgraded setup to handle heavier steel rims such as the ones used in ARMY MM550.

Hey guys , i settled down for yoko geos as my bro did not want to go for MTs . These are 215/75-R15 . Steering is become lighter now so U turns are quite easy now though i had 195s before. Here are some pics , sorry for the bad quality of the first image as my bro had taken the digicam elsewhere so took the pics from my phone .
