I am looking to replace my stock tires. I have found a source in the States for Yokohama Superdiggers, Yokohama Geolanders, and Toyo Open Country. They are all roughly the same size, but the Geolanders and Open Country tires are about $100 more for the set. Does anyone have first hand experience with any of these? I am looking for feedback about ride comfort, wet weather and snow traction and on/off road capability. Please let me know what y'all think. Thanks!
When I bought my '94 Suzuki Carry in Nov '20, it came with a brand new set of 12 inch Yokohama Superdiggers on the stock wheels. I used them to plow this past winter with absolutely no issues with traction. When Spring came, I licensed the truck for street use. Being small, they do however manage to find all the ruts , cracks and bumps in the road. I have since pimped up the Zuki and moved to 14 inch wheels and tires. If anyone is interested in the 5 Super Diggers (4 with 50 miles on them, and 1 never saw the road), let me know. I live in NY, zip 12563. PS: thanks for the Likes !
Do you still happen to have those Super Diggers, and if so, how much are you looking to get for them? I'm in northern NJ.
That's a little too much for me at the moment. They're on the stock rims, correct? What bolt pattern does your Carry use? Mine is the 4x114.3 bolt pattern. If not the same, would you consider selling just the tires for a bit less? Thanks.
Yes, all 5 tires are on the stock Suzuki rims (4x114.3mm). So what I have avail are the 5 new tires, the 5 stock rims, mounting, balancing, and the 4 center caps. I really don't want to break up the set as it would cost me even more money to un-mount the new tires, and then cost you more money to re-mount them and re-balance them. If you like I will meet you on the road or a store somewhere near a half way point between our homes to make delivery.
I really would like them, and the proposed meetup would be good. I'll have to figure out the finances. Is there any more movement on asking price at all? Thanks.
Unfortunately, no. The 5 new tires would cost you around $600, then add the cost of the shipping, mounting, balancing, and the cost of the 5 correct rims. You'd likely be over $800 if you tried to buy everything
I don't have any pics of the individual 12 inch wheels & tires but I will take some pics tonight. Here is a pic of the day I rec'd the truck in Nov 2020. The tires still have the stickers on them. The plastic center caps are not yet mounted in this photo. The original spare tire was unused since 1994, but it was all dry rotted on the sidewalls so I purchased one new separate tire and had it mounted to make a complete set of 5.
here are some pics. The tire with the black rim was the spare tire. It now has the new tire that has never been on the road. The tires with the silver rims are the ones that came mounted on the truck. If you blow up the pic you can clearly see the tread depth. They are in perfect condition and have barely worn down the molding nubs.
