Muds

Interesting. For my personal Jimny, not the one I am looking for muds for, I went to a private long established tyre exhaust servicing firm. I had standard as from new road tyres I wanted to replace with more chunky 50/50s. Following recommendations on this site I suggested Yokohama golander. They agreed. Same 205s . I am delighted with them. I have gone where Defenders are nervous with no problems. On the road and motorway they are no more noisy than the originals which were 205 Duelers.
I guess with tyres, one mans meat is another mans poison! This second Jimny will only run on a road for about 10% of the time....if that.

Totally agree about the Yokoharmas for everyday use. Have them on Kates jimny and they have been excellent, 2 years on and only slightly worn. On mine I have 215/75/15 X3's that work well off road and are still nice on it.

A few mm difference in tyre size is neither here nor there. It is correct that the standard tyre for a Jimny is a 205/70 but that's not to say 195s and 215s are wrong. In terms or size, a 195/80 makes a more capable Jimmy than a 205/70. You also get a better choice of tyres if you are happy to deviate slightly from the standard size.

Hi Lee,

Returned your PM.

Got these Malatesta Kobras on Jimny Alloys if you're interested?

Many thanks.....have found what we need now.
