Nice looking rig!!
I think maybe your tires are part of your traction problem? They don't look to be that good of a street tire,the tread pattern looks like it would be slippery,especially in the wet. You could also try wheels with a wider stance(offset).
My tracker feels alot more stable with a wider tire/wheel offset.
-
Dude, I don't know why you would want to sell that Vitara. It looks really nice and I would imagine that you probably get a lot of compliments for it.
-
Thanks for the compliments, Yea i really love this ride, if i can sort out it's problems then i would love to keep it. As for the tires, they are Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, they are ment to be onroad and slight offroad tires, they are a good deal wider than the stock tires. I have been looking for wheel wideners for it, but i simply can not find any, cos i want to get wideners of about 1" each. Guess will change the rims for it. At least i just sorted out one problem i had with it, it had a smashed window, but i have just replaced the window. Now i need to re tint the back passenger windows.
I have a qestion for you guys, my steering wheel is now completely worn out(very slippery) i need to sort it out, have any of you guys ever had the steering wheel upholstered in leather? i saw a leather version of mine, and it looked soo nice, and would like to do the same
-
I can tell you from personal experience that the RT/S is a terrible tire. I doesn't work well on the street or the trail and after they have some wear they become useless in the rain. :P
-
in that case i think i should change them, they are 10years old :o but still have grip
-
Chrome don't get ya home!
J/K bro. Pretty slick looking Sidekick. Are you gonna lift it?
-
nah, no lift, not worth it on me, i don't offroad at all, this is my everyday car, so i need it to handle well on roads
-
SWEET VITARA MY FRIEND ! I THINK YOUR STEERING WHEELS ON THE WRONG SIDE ;D MINES MY DAILY DRIVER & I OFF ROAD LITTLE, BUT I'VE LIFTED IT 6" WITH 31'S & IT STILL HANDLES REALLY WELL ON THE ROAD. JUST A LITTLE MORE SLUGGISH. THE FUTURE PLANS CALL FOR UPGRADING THE FRONT HOUSING & LOCKERS . SO I CAN GO OFF ROAD WITH LESS WORRIES. IF I BREAK IT FIRST TRIP OUT MOMMA WILL CUT OFF THE ZUKE FUND COMPLETELY :P :-[ ....SO TIL I GET IT LOCKED & UPGRADE THE FRONT HOUSING IT WILL SEE MOSTLY PUDDLE JUMPING. THEN AS MY WIFE SEE'S I HAVEN'T KILLED IT I WILL ADD MORE GOODIES ;D GOOD LUCK ON YOUR VISION OF WHAT YOUR ZUKE SHOULD BE. LOOKING GOOD , HOPE YOU KEEP IT ! HAPPY ZUKING ! MATTY D. 8)
