I'm purchasing a Sammy this Thursday but the tires are heavy and limits its speed to only 50mph. i just need a set of wheels and tires to use for 130 miles (wilmington to raleigh). I wil pay for the assitance (reasonable price).
AT's will work great..or just plain road tires...I just wanna get this baby home

Don't forget, you need them on 5x5.5 bolt pattern wheels. Pretty much any BS less than 4.5" will do. Good luck! I've got some wheels if you can find tires.

wilmington to raleigh is just under two hours at the speed limit...at 50 mph, it shouldnt be more than 4. Just do it
I thought Sammi's were 6-lug? Or have I just seen too many with Toy axles..

Rich - you have seen too many with Toy or Waggy axles. :) Sami's are 5 on 5.5.
Bronco - I bet you can drive it with the existing tires if you just stick to 4th gear, and downshift to 3rd on hills if you need to. But this is just based on my Sami - this one could be different. The Zuk 1.3L needs RPMs to make power, so you don't have to be afraid to spin it up.

Also remember that your speedometer will be wrong. It is calibrated for stock size tires, like 205/70/15 or something, and you will have 31s. So it will show slower than you are actually going.
