Is it worth it? 235/75/15 compared to 215/75/15 are only an inch taller and more importantly for
an offroad vehicle, only make half an inch difference to the diff clearance.
Also with the 215/75 standard gearing is fine with the 1.3 engine.

I agree with yakuza - mine has the 1.6 swift engine in and 235 tyres. before it was intolerable with the 1.3 original engine. Would struggle to go over 50mph up any sort of hill (not good in the north!) and forget about 70 unless its downhill with the wind behind!
Ive gone one further and swapped to earlier transfer box and diffs, which sorts it a treat, like a hot hatch now
But as the others say 215 (which is what i had before on the 1.3 engine originally) were fine. would get upto motorway speeds and didnt need any trimming of the bodywork.
