Tyres! Which, how big and where from?

SteveW:
I'm looking at getting a full new set of tyres for my Jimny sometime soon as the tread on my current tyres is starting to look a bit worn. I was just wondering what sort of tyres and sizes people are running on they're Jimnys and how they've found them both on and off road.

I was looking at such as the Insa Turbo Special Tracks or Colway Anacondas, although to the best of my knowledge you can only get the later of those in 16" and I'm currently on 15" wheels.

Any comments or opinions are welcome as they will help me choose what to go for.

Steve.

i know where theres a set of 4 kumho kl71s 31 10.5 15s for sale but they have 6 stud rims on

If your still running std gearing then biggest I'd recommend is 215/75-15's. I had 215/80-15's on mine but until I fitted a Trial Jimny transfer case mod I was down to 3rd on hills on motorways trying to maintain 45mph. Currently I am running 31 10.5-15 Kuhmo's kl71's which are great both on and off road, but have had to mod the body work and bump stops to stop them rubbing. Wouldn't like to think what they would be like on std gearing.

Hi is there any chance I can get 235 X 85 X 16 tyres on a jimny. Do the GV rims I have on my SJ fit on a jimny. I understand I would have to chop it and lift it but would they go on, Would I be looking at going a snail pace as well running them like my SJ

The Idea is having a jimny over the SJ is the comfort and should hopefully be able to go a bit fast rather then flat out at 45mph
