Hi there I have a 2002 jimny and have been taking it green laning and now want to improve its capabilities off road and not sure on the best ways to do this without making my insurance go up too much as it’s already high as I am only 17. Dose anyone no if a lift kit affects Insurance a lot or am I just better off getting mud tyres for it as I only have all-terrain tires at the moment thanks in advance.
Has sniper says try flux first for a quote
But i would say with your age it's likely to go up
I've run standard jimny on 195/80/15 MT they do well off road
I agree with the others that getting a quote is a good idea . Even at 17 though I can't see why the insurance would object too much to a set of mud tyres, especially if you got a set of standard size marked remoulded ones as they are going to be a bit taller than what they say on the sidewall and give you a little more clearance.

1. Modification insurance companies needed you to have held a licence for 2 years before insuring you (Adrian Flux/NFU)
2. The only way to get remotely affordable insurance was to go with a Tracker Box insurance company, they would not insure modifications.
However, a read of the Suzuki handbook for the specific model of Jimny we bought, we noted that they only specified the size of tyre and not the brand or tread pattern.
Therefore we fitted 205/70R15 Mud tyres as these match the suzuki sizing

Is fitting 215 75 r15 on a gen 4 classed as a modification ?
Inform insurance ?
car out of speck with Suzuki warranty ?
If so a lot of pain for not much gain.
