Good information , thanks for the comment Rob.

Great thanks for the feedback

Glad we could help👍

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure!!

Hi Renato , thank you for the comment , I did state in my video that the 235/75 will fit , but it does rub at flex and in my book that is not a proper fit and can cause damage to your car and tyres when using it off road , I will still recommend a decent suspension if you are planning to fit 235 tyres on a Jimny . Thanks for the tip on my videos , hopefully they will get better :) as we progress.

Thanks for your feedback , and support👍

How are the 225 tyres on the Jimny working out? What profile are they 70 or 75?

Thanks for the support. 225 will fit on oem suspension , bit wider so will improve grip and stability , not a bad option👍

Yes the speedo reading will be off a little bit , but you can go up to 235 tyres and the speedo will still be within spec and only out by about 1 - 2 Km/H

Thanks for the feedback

On tar surfaces always 2wd , gravel roads 4Hi and when you going to take on obstacles 4L.

No problem at all if that way of thinking , the suspension works much better than the stock one , after that you add accessories as you need them.

Hi , there is not a major increase in the ground clearance with the 215 tyres , I would say I wanted a tyre more suited to off-road terrain and that had better side wall protection without losing power. Here is a nice website where you can play around with tyre sizes and see how much ground clearance you get with different sizes of tyres and rims : tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/

I know the 225/70R15 fit without a problem , not sure if the225/75 ,will clear.

215/75R15 , gives a bit bigger variety between brands and tread patterns.

Hi Greg on my JB43 I tried Plastidip , it did a good job against small scratches , but with the JB74 the rim design is wrong and I think protection like Plastidip will not provide enough protection. Maybe a stronger coating like Raptor will provide more protection.

I am not sure with the 8j offset rims , with the stock alloys and steel rims no problem.

Jip 215/75R15 is the perfect size👍

Hi Theofanis , the 70 profile limits the groung clearance you normally gain , with the 215/75R15 , thats why the standard Dunlops in the test video struggled a bit on the obstacles , having that few milimeters extra ground clearance helps alot offroad , and aswell when you deflate your tyres for better grip. Thanks for the support👍

Yes 215s fit on the standard rims.

Hi Alejandro , for day to day I run 1.8 bar unloaded and 2.0 bar when loaded. Offroad 0.8 and for loose sand or mud I go down to between 0.6-0.4 depending on the type of terrain.

@@justjimny sorry to jump in here. Just want to confirm what you are saying as my tyre dealer has given me weird pressures and the ride off road is not good. Are you talking about BF Goodrich all terrains 215/75?... you run at 2.0 bar loaded on tar/hard gravel and 1.8bar unloaded on tar and on hard gravel which is most of my travel?

@@johnhuman1295 hi john , I run bf 215/75R15 AT and normal day to day unloaded on tar 1.8 , go up to 2.0 when loaded , then on gravel road I deflate to 1.0 loaded and unloaded 0.8. In gravel I always drive in 4 HI to improve handeling on the swb.

@@justjimny thanks for this. At 2.3 unloaded (recommended by tyre dealer) - no wonder gravel is uncomfortable.

@@johnhuman1295 Jip everybody in the 4x4 world think a jimny is the same as all 4x4s , but it really is not , it much lighter and much more capable if you have the right information.

Hi , Auto is great for city driving and 4x4 , I still suggest 215/75R15 since the 215/80R15 will effect performance and consumption , both these sizes fit on standard suspension , although I do reccomend a suspension upgrade since the stock suspension is soft and does effect handeling. Des Sol is a budget suspension that works for day to day and the Tough Dog 40mm is the best suspension you can add to your Jimny , and the favourite mod I have done thus far to my Gen4.

@@justjimny any specific brand for that 215/75 R15 that you can recommend? Thanks heaps

@@mstonybonita Maxxis , Goodyear Wranglers and BF Goodrich AT. Have a look at my BF Goodrich review.

@@justjimny will watch, thank you ☺️

Hi James you are 100% correct , the only problem I had was to find tyres in those sizes , the other option will maybe be to go to a 16inch rim , there are loads of tyre sizes available for the 16's.

I have friends that went that route and they quickly got tired of swopping around the tyres , and the spare set also took up alot of storage space in their garages.

@@justjimny yeah been doing it for a couple of years with my 2006…..takes about half an hour, usually takes a week the other side of playing in the mud to get around to it. I have plenty of space so that doesn’t factor in….

Oh thats Gert se klip at Dewildt 4x4 , if you really want to test your car try Moegatle , with someone that has been there before , if you dont know the trail you miss alot.

@@justjimny Lol, have been to DeWildt a few times.. 🤣 🤣 Strange how I didn't notice it.. I want to go test in some sandy conditions.. 🤔.

@@Fearl3SS84 Sorry wrong video😅 thats the river section at Moegatle , nice thick sand . Worth a visit.

Hi , not really noticed the change since it was the first thing I changed , and could not feel power loss or change in performance , might be diffrent with more accesories fitted or 5 door version.

@@justjimny How is the fuel consume on yours right now? Im considering changing mine to Toyo OPAT III 215.

@@victorferrandomarques8074 I am currently on 12km/L.

@@justjimny Nice consumption! Thank you for your answers!

@@victorferrandomarques8074 Glad to be able to help

Hi Bruce , yes the 215 and 235's fit on the standard rims no problem , just keep in mind that the 235's catch if your suspension is still standard you at least need a 40mm lift for them to work 100%.

@@justjimny putting Gen 4 wheels on a Gen 3 lifted Jimny. Just wanted to make sure with the width of the factory wheels. Thanks.

@@bruceedley7535 All good , happy wheeling👍

@@justjimny cheers! Great vid and thanks for the info.

Not sure I think it might rub , with flexing.

@@justjimny thanks for the feedback. I just received my 2021 Jimny with stock wheels and tires, but I already have a set of 225/70R/16 almost new BFGs that I used for less than a month on a Grand Vitara, I think I should try them on the Jimny, just not sure because of the 16 inch rims.

@@wissamelsaikaly5556 if you already have rhem definitly try them out , and give us some feedback , they wont cause damage if you take it slow.

@@justjimny Thanks for the video. Very informative. Which tyre would fit nicely for R16 on a stock suspension? If it doesn't fit nicely, which suspension and lift kit would you suggest? Thanks in advance

@@wissamelsaikaly5556 Thanks for bringing up the topic. Any feedback on the 225/70/R16? Thanks in advance

The 80 profile does affect the performance and fuel consumption noticably , thats why I prefer the 215/75R15.

@@justjimny thank you. Would it fit without a lift ? How would it affect the performance ? The fuel consumption increase I’ll absorb. Thanks

@@IqbalKumar-zh9bs The 80 profile fits on syandard suspension no problem👍

@@justjimny thank you. Then I guess the 225/75/15 would also fit ?

@@IqbalKumar-zh9bs Yes it will👍

215's are really good onroad , no powerloss or bad fuel consumption , and they are good offroad. Best size for a jimny used as an allrounder.

@@justjimny thank you sir for the info what suspension kit are you rocking and did you added wheel spacers ?

@@PMASPHX I have 40mm Tough Dog suspension , no spacers.

@@justjimny what about steering damper kit cross member drop bracket caster bush kit have you installed them on your jimny sir ?

@@PMASPHX the Gen4 comes with a steering damper , and that has worked great so far , think you will need to upgrade after fitting bigger tyres like 235's , my toughdog kit came with cross member relocation. Have a look at my suspension videos as well , all info on them.

Hi Terry , thank you for the comment , I just want to say that I may not have the 235's fitted , but I did do a bit of home work and checked with a few of my Suzuki Jimny friends that fitted the 235's on their JB74 (Manual and Auto) and that is the feedback they gave me. I trust these guys since we have been doing 4x4 trails , competitions and overlanding for about 10 years in Jimnies now . I guess there could be multiple factors that influence the tyre sizes eg. just the weight difference between tyre brands could have an impact.

I feel sure that the reports you're hearing of significantly increased fuel use with 235/75 tyres will be the result of drivers simply reporting the figure off the economy meter. For that reading to be accurate it needs to be adjusted up by 5.6%. Did your friends make this adjustment? The extra weight in the tyres is rotating, and so in general it is retained and returned when coasting. The only time it is lost is under braking. Driven efficiently 235 tyres use minimally more fuel than do 215 tyres. I realise this might sound counter intuitive...but it's just how physics works.

Thanks for the explanation Terry , like I say in all my videos I want to keep my Jimny as an all rounder and saving weight where I can will just help out when I go overlanding and fuel consumption with a 40l petrol tank :)

Do toy have a source on your first point? I've driven a bone stock JB74 with a corresponding GPS unit and both speedo and GPS speed are bang on matching. So would like to actually find out if that's not the case.

IMHO, the reason why heavier tyres equates proportionally to fuel consumption are on starting and stopping. It requires more power to start turning the tyres which requires more fuel. On stopping, the heavier tyres generates higher inertia which are again an energy wasted on stopping, also translates to fuel consumption. Additionally it consumes more breakpads and poor breaking performance as the breakpads receives all the wasted energies.

Extra weight always has an effect on performance and fuel consumption unfortunitly , the main question would be , will loss in performance really bother you enough , and I can not answer that for you🤔

@@justjimny The BFG was very disappointing on my land cruiser 79. Although I rotated them (+ alignment) every 8k they become impossible to balance at around 38,000km. Was pursuing a warranty claim but sold the 79 before it concluded…. I realised us boertjies don’t necessarily know better than the Japanese engineers that spec the tyres and I changed them because they looked good honestly 😊 Puncture resistance will be tested on the farm (Super sharp rocks). My gut tells me I wont have trouble… and that I will make it up Van Zyls (practically impossible mountain on this farm with sharp rocks) with those standard dunlops ever so slightly slightly deflated. + save on fuel in the long run. Bet they dirt cheap too as every man and their dog trades them in for something “Mean” haha

@@fvlok comparing tyre performance from a heavy car like a 79 cruiser with a much lighter vechile is not really a fair comparison. Still happy with the performance of my BFs 48000km, my only gripe with them is their performance in wet conditions are terrible. The standard Dynlops are not bad , as shown in our tyre test video , but still wont trust them on an overland trip. But everybody is allowed an opinion👌

A good replacement might be the Maxxis AT980 , I know there are a few sets around currently.

Very true , but have you felt the weight differences between the steel and alloy , I would rather take the risk with alloy and get good performance and consumption 95% of the time I use the Jimny.
