Sorry but I cant find a specific answer to this question................
New to forums and brand new to this one - just bought my 5th Jim over the years first being an SJ413
I now own a low miles 2013 - tyres - I simply want biggest with NO mods or clearance issues at all - currently got 205/70/15 on standard steel rims - can I go bigger - would it be better - my prime aim is max (country road/pothole) comfort and min noise (yes I know its a Jimny) - wear and fuel consumption are not the prime issue.
Currently on Bridgestone Dueller HT (23psi front 28psi rear) which are actually pretty good - also looking at Grabbers and Coopers?
BTW other car is a Suzuki as well Vitara SZ5 1.6 AllGrip have owned Grand Vit 3drs and Swifts
Advice please.............

I fitted them to my 05' car with no problem. Fitting 30mm spacers makes them just catch, on full lock.
I haven't heard of later model cars having any problems, that size is a very popular mod on standard cars.
You can get in to trouble if you are considering chunky remould mud tyres, they are often a fair bit oversize.

A larger tyre will not necessarily improve comfort or reduce noise. You are better off choosing a quiet tyre in the standard size and adjusting the pressures to find the optimum comfort level.
