| ![]() as a daily user of jeep i changed the all terrain tyres to MRF ZIGMA due to the additional safty provided by them.for the last 12 years i was using DP 340and i am so confident about the perfomance of the 15' tyres.any way i am fully satisfied with the overall perfomances except the seats ;back rests are not adjustable,moreover pillion rider's backrest and seat mounting are fixed .THE MILAGE IS EXCELLENT in town and country.side wall projection of tyres due to the size of alloys i used[8.5x15] with 139.7 PCD.As a proud BHPian i am fully satisfied with the major. |

![]() My bad. Maybe he can convince Abby to throw them away. Let's all comment in unison that this alloys don't look good on his Major and force him to throw the alloys away. ![]() Quote:
Jokes apart, it nice to see a new 'old' jeep as GTO mentioned. Cheers, | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() @ Samurai, mahindra had discontinued the 2 lever 4WD option on Mahindra jeeps long time back. The newer ones come only with a single lever to engage and dis-engage the 4WD. The single lever for 4WD seems to cause more problem in jeeps than the earlier 2 lever simple setup. Quote:

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I have the same size and pattern alloys on my CJ3B.You must use a tire size of atleast 255/70/r15 for the sidewall to flex. Cos anything less will result in a rigid side wall. I have tried 235s on thos e too. The best part is these alloys can accomadate upto 32.5/11/r15 tires.The zigma if i remember correctly donot come in sizes above 235. cheers jammy Quote:

| ![]() Sir, Is the jeep used in town? Cos, the MRF Zigma tyres are more suited better for onroad use than offroad whereas the OE tyres appear to take a beating ![]() Ofcourse, I may be completely wrong here! |

| ![]() Hi All, Just some Qs about the Mahindra CL500. 1. The CL500 is the model name for the Major, isn't it? 2. Did it ever come in a short wheel-base (like the Classic/CJ3B)? 3. What is the CL550? The reason I am asking is that in today's classifieds there is an ad for a '99 CL500 "Short Jeep". I called the number and the gentleman who answered said it is shorter than the regular Mahindra jeeps. He didn't know what a Classic/CJ3B is and so couldn't say if it is the same length or not. The location is kinda far out of my way to go and check it out. So I want to know if the CL500 was at any point of time offered in the SWB before I took the trip. Thanks Teja |

![]() abiacherian, the procedure is as follows. You must go to the Tyres and Alloy wheel Section, it is under Modifications and Accessories section. First you search for items of your interest. You will find a lot for info, if you don't find your answer, do post a query under a relevant thread. Don't tip the peon, no bribes are accepted here, just click and you shall have your answer. | |
