LoL!
Hey Up, Rich.

Had the KL71's on my Delica and they were excellent apart from a couple of 'high speed' stops when they 'walked' a little and got the nipper-offerer working!
The side walls were quite soft as well and I used to go a little careful when on sharp stone runs.

Funnily enough, the Delica had duelers on when I first got it and they weren't too bad. Could spin up the rears on roundabouts etc with great ease in 2wd but were fine when in 4wd.

Catch you later. :-)

If you do "rotate" your tyres suzuki show to rotate clockwise taking in the spare too.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

I've got KL71s, no issues at all in any conditions...

I second the last post, just put KL-71's on mine and they're miles better than the old standard Dueller tyres. Out and about in the wet weather most of the day yesterday and the car feels a lot safer in the wet.

I've just bought a set of two new alloys with almost brand spanker tyres from a breaker in Wales, he did me a deal of £105 for the pair, (I was going to get all of my alloys sand blasted and re-sprayed for £200) as I have two alloys that are badly corroded. Anyway, when I took the rear wheel off that I had grazed I noticed that the tyre wasn't in great shape - thin tiny cracks all over. I checked all my other tyres and none of them were in this condition apart from my spare. Is this possibly the reason for my slippery experiences?
