Found this site on which you can compare tire sizes very effectively...
No worries about gearing with 195/80R15?
But it will need a lift for these tires, right?
Is a 2" lift sufficient?
I have kumho kl71s in 195/80R15 on a standard height Jimny and all is fine with no rubbing...

Thanks, I have no idea what brand they are, I just bought them with the tyres as a packages from 4x4 tyres, but I like them too.

Tall and skinny is good!
Isn't it worse if the wheels are spinning without lockers and than suddenly strike the ground?
Just curious.....
Cheers,
