tyres

hi just bought a 1999 jimny want to get big tyres are 215 70 15 ok?? also are old tyres with remolded tread any gd or sh*t?? thanks jason

Thats an X Trail tyre size I think ? More expensive than 215/75 or 205/75 and harder to find, not a lot of choice either but they'd fit OK The other 2 sizes both OK on standard pre-facelft Jimny, I had to cut my bumper to get 215/75 on but thats just because of the facelift bumper being diffferent.

Remoulds are a bit like Marmite- love or hate. I wouldn't trust them due to having one burst in my face fitting it :S ( a big chunk of the sidewall decided to part company with the rest of the tyre, not easily forgotten ) and the road miles I do, but depends what you're going to do with it I guess; no point spending loadsa £££ on a tyre that's never gonna see tarmac and some remould treads are much more aggressive. Speed rating on remoulds could be an issue if you use motorways, some have very low ratings.

kl thanx so go for 215 75 15 um not remould then as road drive as well what make/model tyre are u running?? thanx jason

depends if you are going to offroad or not
If you are going to do pay and plays get Kuhmo/Marshall KL71 - have a good mud terrain tread pattern but still good on road and not remoulds - about £80 each
If not then get some All Terrains from BF Goodrich if feeling rich £120 ish, or if not Coopers or General Grabbers £75-80 ish

thanks prob get the kuhmo as want them on and off road also is 2inch spring spacers and shock spacer things also 2inch and a set of 1.3/4 inch body lift as only just started just thought what have people raised there jimny's

Toyo Open Countrys on mine, not the maddest tread pattern but does what I need it to ( dirt and gravel tracks, muddy / stubbly fields,up the hills and not fall off the road at the first wet roundabout ) probably be stuffed if it was up to the axles in mud tho :huh: Snow still to be tested but knowing Scotland won't have to wait long

do u think these are any gd??
205/75 15 GENERAL AT2
all 4 cost £315

How tail are 215/75/15 and how wide

As got some old fat boy rims sitting around that look smart on my jimmy when it's on the road

That price isn't great!

I got 5 for £317 on Thursday!

Where from? and was that just the tyres or fitted?

Cheers.

£317 is that fitted and were??
