Not sure I'd call tyres a mod :)


I would suggest that tyres are probably the most important modification anyone does to their vehicle, they are certainly going to have one of the most pronounced alterations to the dynamics of the car no matter what the car is or how it is used,appropriate tyres can make or break a car.

I know what tyres do.
It's just, wouldn't exactly call tyres a modification as they're pretty mandatory :)

In terms of the suzuki specified tyre being the much compromised Bridgestone dueler being still readily available to replace worn examples, I, having chosen to improve my tyres ability by fitting the bfgs even in 205,70 15 it's still a modification away from the original specifications, no different to fitting any pattern part , it's all still doing the same basic job but it's not as it left the factory. Or im just being an ocd pedant again.

Has to be tyres first, to gain that extra traction in the mud..
2" body lift (so the tyres clear)
Rock sliders to protect the sides and underside when squeezing through the trees, etc.. But a winch would be 3rd equal as cant beat feeling secure in the knowledge that you can haul your own ass out of stuck situations !
