yet another new owner ...a few q's

hi guys and gals new to the forum been lurking and reading ALOT

so we are onto our second jimny ,first one was a 2003 o2 red and silver soft-top AKA barbie jeep (the wives)
now we have a 2001 hardtop hardcore one (ish) onto the question

at the moment it has some marshall 30x9.5r15 tyres on what are a good replacement for these 30%on70%off road is where im heading also what is the equivalent size of these 235-75-15 ?

235/75/15 in theory are 28.87" in diameter and 9.25" wide - so they are close. They are also easy to get hold of in most tread patterns!

Well there is 25.4mm to an inch and looking at what's about there is no direct metric equivalent, just nearly the same's such as the 235/75/15.

Then you have to factor in that remoulds are often bigger than what it says on the sidewall - one assumes because they are on an old carcass then have the new bit bonded on top.

Aggressive tyres like Insa Turbo Special Tracks or in my case Malatesta Kaiman's are OK on the road but you will get a wobble in the steering wheel somewhere at a speed - mine's between about 43-46MPH.

I have some Kumho KL71's which are not remoulds but a new tyre and have no wobble with them.

When you consider the shape of the aggressive tyres, they are not really round though. they have many flats to them in a circle. So they are hard to balance if not impossible and therefore will never feel great on the road - but mine are OK.

I wouldn't use them if I used the car for any distance or speed daily though.

Oh and welcome - how rude of me!!!
