Tyres just arrived 
Hmmm, nice and tall but they don't look much wider than my current 235/75/15s?
Out with the tape measure then!... 9" ?!
31"
275mm ... should be 11" ?
Doesn't bother me as they'll be ideal for the Jimny!
My 'laning buddies had said they were going to be too wide, but they've turned out fine...
I suppose the sidewalls might inflate and bulge when they are fitted and inflated? But nowhere near as big as I feared!

But still.. If you pay for and expect them to be 11" wide and in reality they're only 9" wide.
I'd call that misleading advertisement. Perhaps not from Jimnybits but indeed from the manufacturer.

I'm really happy with them being thinner than expected
... couldn't miss them at that price...!
But I have emailed Rus at JimnyBits saying how much thinner they are than the size on the tyre wall (pictured)
