G'day Guys and Gals!
In this video I am fitting a new set of 4wd Off-road tyres and rims to my 2023 Suzuki Jimny Jb74. I have chosen to fit a set of King Offroad Wheels - Razor - Gloss Black/Machined Face - 15X7 5/139.7 P0. The tyres I have chosen to run on my Suzuki Jimny are the Maxxis Razr AT811. These are an aggressive all terrain tyre which will perform really well on road and off road.
When selecting tyres and rims for your Suzuki Jimny there are a few things to keep in mind. Depending on how much off road work you are going to do and the type of 4wding you plan on doing you can select tyres and rims that suit your needs. There are a few popular tyre sizes that people fit to the Suzuki Jimny JB74 and those are -
1. 215/75r15 fitted to the Factory rims for small increase in clearance but better tyre options for off road traction
2. 225/75r15 fitted to aftermarket rims for moderate increase in clearance and better tyre options for off road traction
3. 235/75r15 fitted to aftermarket rims for big increase in clearance and better tire choices with more off-road traction
Fitting any tyres larger then 235/75r15 will result in a large power loss and it will also raise the gearing so that low range is no longer effective. This means that you will more then likely require reduction gears to run any bigger then 235's on the Suzuki Jimny. Larger tyres also put added stress on the wheel bearings, king pin bearings and other drive train components.
I have chosen to fit the 235/75r15 to my 2023 Suzuki Jimny because I really wanted the extra clearance under the diffs and the better choice in 4wd off road tyres. The 1.5L petrol engine still pulls the 235's along really well. You can definitely notice the added weight and rolling resistance of the larger tyres though and any bigger tyre will drastically reduce the vehicles power and economy.
In this video I carried out a few measurements and weights before and after fitting the tyres to calculate how much clearance under the diffs I actually gained and also how much weight I was adding to the vehicle. After fitting the 235/75r15 Maxxis Razr AT811 and the king offroad razor wheels I gained 25mm extra clearance under the front and rear diffs and chassis. The factory rims and tyres weighed in at 17.5kg and my after market set weighed in at 26.2kg. So the added weight is 8.7kg per wheel and tyre. I fitted 5 new wheels and tyres to my Suzuki Jimny so I added 43.5kg to the vehicle. As the Suzuki Jimny Jb74 only has a small payload it is important to keep this in mind when modifying it. That is why I chose to use King offroad Razor Alloy wheels to keep the weight down.
With my Ironman 4x4 2 inch Lift kit the 235/75r15 Maxxis Razr At811 fitted perfectly with no trimming needed. The tyres can articulate up into the guards without any scrubbing. The Maxxis Razr At811 tyres and the king off road wheels have given the vehicle a wider stance giving it more stability. For on road work the 235/75r15 tyres have given it better cornering and stability. For off road work the wider stance means that on off camber tracks the vehicle will be a lot more stable.
I am really excited to have the Maxxis Razr AT811 tyres and the King off road razor machined faced wheels fitted to my 2023 Suzuki Jimny JB74. It is starting to look really tough and its going to go even better off road now!
Finding the perfect tyre for your 4wd can be tricky. I find that reading a lot of reviews on different brands and tyre types can help me narrow down the decision. I found that the Maxxis razr tyres had some really good reviews and I can see why! After running around on these tyres for the last week I can tell that they are really quiet and grippy tyres.

Extra weight of the tires will changes the overall performance of the vehicle, the all terrain tires with new rims can be lesser weight allowing less un sprung weight on tires, We can get tires with rims that doesn't require spares. That helps jimny perform better with better milage. This is from my experience. I like the vide, game me some good insight.

You can fit some pretty big tyres on the Jimny. If you go any bigger then 235's you do require lower transfer gearing to make it usable off-road though. 😊

Check your speedo against gps, will read lower with bigger wheels. My mux reads 6 ks higher against gps.

I do need to do a gps check to see how it has changed the speedo. On stock tyres, I was travelling about 5km slower than what the speedo was saying. So it should bring it back up close to actual speed I think.

@LowRangeNick 7 ай бұрын

Sounds like it will be a beast. Those tyres will definitely suck all of the power out of the vehicle though, so you would definitely want some reduction gears. You may even need a bigger lift and some guard trimming.

@googlegok9637 7 ай бұрын

did you fuel eco go down? do you feel power lack on highway in head wind , or gear down uphill ?

@LowRangeNick 7 ай бұрын

It does do all of the above, but it is still fine to drive and I feel like it still has sufficient power to get up hills. I think the problem is when people do a lift and tyres and then add 200kg of other gear like winch, bulbar, rear bar, drawers, fridge, dual batteries etc. If you did all of these mods and the tyres I feel like it would be horrible to drive lol. Fuel economy if around 8.2-8.4l per 100km now and before it was around 7.4l per 100km.

Hey Marcus I don't plan on fitting an exhaust as they really just increase the noise (which I don't want to do) the power gain is minimal if anything at all.

Hey Nick, have you felt loss of power and low gears being faster after putting the bigger tires?

@LowRangeNick 9 ай бұрын

There is definitely a loss in power but it is manageable. The gearing is still OK. I wouldn't go any bigger in tyre size without reduction gears.

@marijanspasenovski362 9 ай бұрын

@@LowRangeNick Thanks for the reply mate. I am planning to go up in size eventually. But I am a bit concerned since the Jimny is my only car atm. I am running 215/80/15 and it's pretty fine for me. I am mostly worried about highway and hill driving, how many revs does it do at 110 km/h? And do you have even more trouble with overtaking? btw your Jimny looks amazing and that's one of the reasons I wanna go with that size.

@LowRangeNick 9 ай бұрын

@marijanspasenovski362 Over normal hills on the highway it is fine and keeps the speed pretty well. But if you come to a really long steep incline you will definitely notice the difference. Having the larger tyres does lower the revs so it sits at around 3000rpm at 100 kmhr. The fuel consumption has increased about 0.8 of a litre. The best size for the jimny is 215/75r15 which doesn't affect power and consumption much but if you want the extra offroad performance with the 235/75r15 tyres then you do sacrifice some onroad performance.

I am using Yokohama 215/75R 15 AT with airpressure of 28 in all tyres in Jimny 5 door in India. There is no other alteration done in vehicle apart tyres. I took the vehicle on the highway & hills for the first time & found the car was Jerky on Road whereas it was settling properly while passing through path holes or rough terrain on Slow Speeds. The vehicle was so moving that I had to make a stop to check the fitment of the nuts on the wheels. As a driver I felt a lot of body roll on corners in hills & was afraid as if the vehicle may get unstable on corners. I was driving solo & without any luggage. Can you pl suggest solution to this ... should I reduce the tyre pressure further from 28.

All of the modifications are road legal and covered by insurance. So no worries 😊 Warranty won't cover anything that has been the direct cause of an accessory or modification, which is fair enough.
