Hi
After much deliberation between BF Goodrich KM2 215/75/15 and Fedima Extreme Evolution 205/70/15 i decided to take the plunge and go for the goodrich.A friend at the tyre bay said they will fit the new Jimny.It went this morning and they DID fit and there was no rubbing issues on the front bumper.I took it for a spin and did about 15 miles and used full lock and there were no issues.There isnt masses of clearance, the clearance is 10mm but it seems enough.I have to say i was suprised how quiet they were for Muds and on a wet back lane they stopped well.Apparentley they are rated C for wet braking.There is a small soft black plastic lip that comes down over the bumper if this was trimmed there is another 5mm to the bumper so we will see how it goes.So there we have it 215/75/15 DO fit the new facelift Jimny.Sorry about the poor pictures.These were fitted on the standard 5.5J alloys that came with the Jimny.

This is on standard alloys ,dont know about wider.Just come back to work in all the rain and they were very good in the rain and the ride is better than on the duellers.I think the sacrifice in fuel will be worth it

How are you finding the gearing now with the larger tyres?
