Whatcha. I have decided that because I have nothing better to do I am going to start pestering bfg into producing the all terrain in stock Jimny 3 size aka 205.70r15. Unlike many people I have absolutely no inclination to a bigger tyre but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want a bit more traction off road. So if you are in a similar mind and want a premium tyre for your stock Jimny their contract information is on their website. As with everything the bigger the demand the more likely they are to listen.

Have you thought about the Toyo Open Country, they do a 205/75/15.

And maxxis do both the trepador and at771 it 205.70r15 so I have options but I am also a bit of a fanboi of bfg and like the KO2. I could also go to a 215.65r16 in KO2 but it's about 10mm taller and will mean new rims and informing the insurance. Or I can pester bfg for something to do.

So that fell flat on it's face. First response was negative to any plans for a 205.70 now and in the future. Second response after expressing my disappointment was to encourage me to a different manufacturer as they simply don't see the demand. If anyone else has a few minutes to spare rabble rousing it might open their minds?
