Talk:Tyre selection and usage - best practices
Dear Bosanek,
you have made a very good job about tyre options for the jimny. I would like to make some contributions, but would like to know if the intention is to maintain a UK focus, or to enlarge the scope to a more global approach. Recently, jimny has been made in Brazil, in many different versions, including 215 tyre size, diferent bumpers and so on. So would like to know if a global approach is desired. Also, there are many different tyre size availability in some brands, from country to country. For instance, Michelin south america developed the ltx force (it´s been replacing the LT /AT2). This tyre had the 205 75 r15 size, and was made considering the terrible south american contryside roads. http://www.michelin.com/fre/presse/Presse-et-actualites/actualite-michelin/Innovation/MICHELIN-LTX-FORCE-la-meilleure-solution-quelle-que-soit-votre-route.

Hello Nelson,
First of all - thank you for the commendation. I did my best to cover the topic to its fullest, most by the original research.
Since I am not from UK (I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina, also in Europe), my personal goal is to enlarge the scope of any Jimny wiki article to the global level.
However, my personal opinion is that each writer should take care to clearly indicate any country-specific and region-specific information which they add to any wiki article.
For example, the information about tyre pressures is a global one, not region specific. But in another example, information about Brasilian Jimny tyre sizes should clearly be mentioned in its own subchapter, in order to prevent confusion to readers who are not from South America.
Regarding tyre models and sizes, I keep my personal table of worldwide available tyre models and sizes which I linked as read only to this wiki article. I welcome anyone to inform me about new tyre models or region-specific tyre models which I omitted from my table. My table is naturally european-based as I am most familiar with that tyre market. I will any new contributed information to my table as soon as possible. I have already added this Michelin model to my table. If you have information about any other tyre models, please let me know.
