Hi, Richie here from South Wales, bought a nice 2008 reg Jimny back in August this year. It's all pretty much standard at the moment, but I want to make it look better with some nice new tyres and a 2" lift coming next year.
Been reading so much about different types of tyres till my head hurts! I would like to keep the alloy wheels, fit some decent spacers (billet style) and maybe 195/80/15 tyres. I like the look of the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71.
Will these fit without the lift? Will the larger diameter of the tyre cause any more stress on bearings etc compared to the standard size tyres or should I be looking to go the 205/75/15 size instead?
So many options to choose from, but where to start!

Eventually got around to fitting some new tyres last week, 5 new Kumho KL-71's and they look nice!
Comparison of old vs new tyres getting fitted:
I am running these at 25 psi. Feels OK, but not sure if it's the correct pressure. The ride has certainly improved compared to the old tyres.
