Hi All
Joined the forum this week as I've been looking to buy a Surf and today I took the plunge and shelled out the cash. Am very pleased with my purchase, a '95 M reg 3.0L TD Auto, SSR-X Ltd
Just wanted to thank the regular posters on here for the help they have provided, I've not asked any questions but rather pillaged the search function. I run a busy forum myself (for off road RC trucks - www.maxbashing.com if you're interested) I often pull my hair out when people ask the same question over and over again. So I didn't want to be my own worst nightmare on another forum.
My new Surf is very clean although front tyres are close to being illegal so a new set is in order. Again I've been reading your comments on these and am leaning towards getting a set of Grabber AT2 or possible the BF AT, depends on price, I have a friend in the trade and he's looking into it for me
While searching for a Surf, I drove one with the BF MT's on them, noticed there's a considerable amount more noise with these (as you would expect) just wondered if the AT's were much quieter or do I need to go for something like Goodyear wrangler, or Kumho 825's?
I won't be doing a massive amount of off roading, will perhaps try and get to a couple of organised events next year but I will be going across muddy fields most weekends (to get the RC truck tracks) and of course I want to thing to look a bit mean.
Also my current tyres are 265 70 16 – from what I’ve read on here, the 16” is an optional part from the factory, is this correct? And if I fit the AT tyres on there, is it going to restrict things at all?
Perhaps this should be in the tyre section, mods please feel free to move if you think so, but wanted to hi and thanks more than anything else. Forums are so useful when used properly
Oh one other thought, what speeds should a 3.0L cruise on a motor at, I came back in it round the M25 and was doing between 80 and 90, seemed to be driving fine, is this ok, other than caining fuel!
Cheers
Dan
