The Tracker seems to be very tipsy. You cannot perform any type of sudden or sharp turn without running the risk of tipping over.
The outside of the Tracker seems to rust very easily.
I have had to replace a door due to the amount of rust.
There are no air bags or any type of safety device, besides seat belts, in the Tracker.
This car is very reliable.
It can take you were you need to go.
I use it as a student in High School and it is very useful to me.
I recommend it.
If you put larger tires on it, it will not feel tipsy, I put Goodyear wranglers on mine 225/75/15 and it takes turn 100% better!!
Actually, putting taller tires on any vehicle will make it more top heavy and less adept at cornering because it raises the center of gravity. My Tracker originally had 205X70R15 tires and I could fly around corners. I replaced them with 235X75R15 and could really tell the difference. I could not corner near a quickly due to the center of gravity being raised nearly two inches. Then, to use the truck off road, I put a 2" body lift, a 2.5" suspension lift and 31" tires on it. Now it leans like a drunken sailor around turns due to the center of gravity being raised almost 7" over stock. Better tires will make it corner better, but taller tires will not.
Replacing stock tires with taller or wider ones may be necessary for better flotation in mud, or more clearance in rough terrain. Tires with taller sidewalls than stock will have a greater circumference. This will result in "taller" drive ratios. Simply put: You will have to rev the engine more or slip the clutch more to start out without stalling. With auto trans: Start and acceleration will be even slower. Other side effects were covered in other comments. Stock tires were selected by Suzuki for the best combination of power, fuel mileage, handling, noise and cost. What a compromise!
