Goodyear wrangler m+s was created by zaine
Hi there, im new to this whole jimny game so just after some advice

Im after some tyres that are good for every day but will also drag me around in the snow

Standard jimny, no mods yet B)

I have come across some goodyear wrangler m+s tyres 205/75/15 locally, 7/8mm tread, £150ish for the 4

Price seems good to me but its not that im bothered about

Anyone have any experience with these?
Good in the snow?
Ok for everyday?

Any feedback would be greatly received

many thanks
z

Price is good, to be fair, anything will be better than a standard road tyre. as long as the tread is agressive, then youll be fine in snow and on dirt. extreme mud requires "BIG" tread blocks to grip & hold on, but snow needs smaller treads so that the tyres can get enough grip and spread the load when trying to move the vehicle withough sheering off the delecate hold the tyre has on the weak snow

They look good, seem to have both the snow grips in the middle, and also big enough tread blocks to get grip on the roads / dirt. Noise may be noticeable but that is a sacrifice you have to make when going agressive

the road noise might bother me actually as i use the car daily (40miles ish) so might get some modular steels for the winter tyres, is that a common thing to do?

also are the 205/75/15's ok on a standard jimny?
