Hi All
I am the happy new owner of a 1700 carby Lada Niva. I used to own one of these remarkably loveable cars a couple of years ago, but the wife didn't like it being the primary car. Under duress the car was sold and sorely missed. Fast forward a couple of years and I am back in the fold! Really excited about stumbling across this forum and the advancements made in sourcing parts, but sadly the tyre issue still seems to be a problem. It was while surfing the net for suitable replacement tyres that I happed across this forum (there is a hint for you Ari, just put 175/80R16 as a keyword and every owner of a 16" Lada will come across this forum at some point!) I live in Cape Town and would love to meet up with other Lada owners in the area, I hear Atlantis dunes is the bussiness.
So, guys that's my story - I will look in from time to time and post some pics, as there are big plans afoot - as soon as I can lay my grubby little hands on a set of rubbers.
Yours aye Tiban

Hi Tiban
Welcome to the Forum. Marius can fix you up with tyres. He spent many hours having the tyres imported for the benifit of the members. The Forum is very quiet at the moment due to the Holidays.

Hi all, thanks for the warm welcome. Marius, I am indeed interested and would like to make solid arrangements for a full set before the price increase if possible. Thank you in advance for the legwork you've allready done in getting this size into SA. I am allready sitting on a R500.00 speeding fine as the smaller wheels I am running at the moment has made the speedo read wrong!
