Bloody hell the Geolanders have gone up!! They were always the mid-range option. Depending on how many miles you do and how long you are keeping the jim, I would go for the BFG's. They last for ever on a small/light car.

That seems the best option. I will be keeping the Jimny until it falls apart, so no worries there.

I was comparing the speed rating between the Cooper and BFG, the former is rated R, the latter S. There was me thinking it would be best to go for the higher rating, but with the best will in the world, the Jimny isn't going to get near to 106mph, let alone 112mph! I did 65mph for a couple of minutes on my first trip out and that was scary!

Anything Q rated upward is fine. Mine will do 80mph+ but the steering is very twitchy.

My two cruise comfortably at 70mph... I run Maxxis Trepadors 31"x10.5" on the big blue S200KYS and BFG ATs in 235/75/15 flavour on the gold BT54VTS daily driver
