New shoes on the EK

Post by Eeek »

Got rid of the red walls on the ek and went with a taller white wall. 185 80 13's Pretty happy with the result. Looks cool

Nice. They fill the guards out better obviously. Ride improved noticeably? I did like the red though.

looks great 8)
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Does drive better. steering feels lighter and sits a bit higher so im not worrying about bottoming out on the driveway or speed humps

Hey could I ask - what make/model tyre is this? I've come full circle with my ute and I'm now looking at running original 13" steelies with white band tyres. 185/80R13 might just be the ticket and these pics are offering a pretty compelling argument 8)

They are maxxis tyres. getting harder to get from what i hear. i paid around $160 each, they fill the guards nicely.

Had a feeling they were, nice one. I'll probably pull the trigger on a set of those as soon as I can afford it.
I'm real happy with the sizing of the (dry rotted) 185/75 boots currently on my steelies but that size is impossible to find in white band. Thanks again mate.
