my Samurai for offroad beginning

[apede]

Terve!
I just joined offipalsta. My name's Pawel, I came from Poland with my wife and we live in Hyvinkää. We have our first 4x4, 2002 Samurai:





It's our everyday car, not modified, only 2" bodylift and currently looking for MT tyres. We're looking for people around to find nice places to learn offroad driving.

I have a choice between 3 types of MT 235/75-15:
Kumho KL-71: http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT...re-MT-KL71.htm
Maxxis Trepador: http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT...dor_Radial.htm
Maxxis Buskshot: http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT...hot-Mudder.htm
Any suggestions what's best for Finnish mud but also not bad for everyday use?
Thanks!

I'd pick those kumhos myself just for the sake of looks and their cheaper than average price, also from what i've heard theyre pretty good off the road and not horrible on the road either...

Oh, and welcome to board

Welcome, Pawel. Nice to see you here in Offipalsta!

Czesc! I had short time Maxxis Trepadors in my Jeep. If I was looking tires for everyday use and also offroading, I think I'd buy Trepadors again. Of course, I don't have experience your other options so difficult to compare.

Add some photos of your Suzuki to the topic. It is not counted as project before we see photos.

Hi,
Sorry for image, it looks like hosting server is down. I put another photo.

As for tyres, I think Kumho and Trepador is quite similar. The only difference is I can order trepadors here in Tuusula, and kumhos I have to order from camskill in UK. Price including transport is almost the same.

I ordered trepadors yesterday, it should arrive in 2 weeks. Let's test it then...
And one more picture.

Hi!
Trepadors were delayed, so I took Mudder Buckshots. Here's couple of photos during change:



and after:



As you see, front bumper is gone, it was too close to tires.
