It looks like there are differences in different markets, the placard (photo below) shows the recommended wheel size at 15x5 :(

I may end up keeping this set for the road and having a set of steel wheels and AT's for off.

I'm not sure they still teach fractions in Australia, but when I was at school 5 1/2 = 5.5 B)

btw, I reckon this is the most suitable A/T tyre readily available in Aus for the OEM rims, in the 215/75R15 size mentioned above.

Planning to order some when my new Jimny arrives, but happy for you to test them out first :)
Will try out some 235/75 Hankooks on my local dealer's lifted demo tomorrow, but only on road of course. Expecting them to feel a bit sluggish, mostly because of the 235 size and weight.

Thanks :)

I'd be interested to know how it drives with the 235's, especially if there is any rubbing. It's a shame you can't test them at full articulation too, now that would be a proper test drive!

Hi, I don't frequent the area unfortunately, I live in the Northern burbs. I'd try Suzuki in Osborne Park or Goldy Suzuki in Midland, both are quite close to you.

If you do decide to buy I'd suggest checking pricing between the different dealerships, some are markedly higher than others (manipulation of the dealer delivery charges I suspect).
