Tyres.. AGAIN!! was created by JW93

Yep you guessed it, another tyre question!

I'm decided I'm going to buy a set of General Grabber AT`s (opinions on these?).

I'm just in limbo whether to get the 205/75/15's or the 215/75/15's.

I do plan to do a few more modifications in the future with a 2 inch lift being my main priority after tyres, so with that in mind what do people think?

Cheers Guys!

James

Both will be ok on the 2"lift, but the 205/75/15 will save you £10 a tyre.

Will 205/75/15 and 215/75/15 fit a standard Jimny?

I do believe that they do!

I think im gonna go for the 205/75/15's.

Will increasing the tyre size effect any of the Jimny's performance?

Thanks

Yes it will JW93, that's why I am hesitant over purchasing them, they will reduce top end speed, it will also reduce your MPG and also affect handling on Tarmac. Larger tyres can even gear your jimny down as it requires far more energy to roll them as there is more friction which in turn creates a lower gear than normal

i had 205 75 grabber at2s n found them miles better than standard in every way miles comfier ride better road driving speed as it very very slighty lowers your revs at 50 to 60 mph them that have gone for this size will tell you it feels like a better car. but if your guna do a 2inch lift id go for 215 75s
