There's a lot of love for general grabber at's though I'm quite partial to the bfg urban. Depends on what you're willing to spend.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

Another vote for General Grabber AT3s in 205/75r15. I have a set on my 2nd gen facelift with the lowest bumper at stock height (plus 120k miles of sag :D) with plenty of clearance at full lock. The 3% difference in circumference doesn't really make any noticable difference to performance or your speedometer. Maybe dropped ~1mpg on average between the AT3s and the stock Bridgestone dualer HTs.

They are available online for £70 a tyre when I picked mine up a few months ago.

I've just put on Summer Tyres 215/75 R15 BFGoodrich 100/97S ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2 on my Jimny, without a lift and on Jimny bits 15" rims with 30" offset.

Going to get a 2" lift when I've saved up my pennies...

Hope that helps

Rich

Rich - that looks awesome. Did you need the offset to avoid rubbing, or was that just for looks?
