All Terrain Tyre Comparisons

Very nice, looks like a good combination

Yes, Kyrfit, that does look good.

I assume you mean Toyos and Old Man Emu suspension? I maybe wrong there.

I am afraid I have been rather 'out of the picture' these last few months (I got very fed up with Suzuki GB). But I'm always interested in tyre and suspension combinations.

Have fun with your Jimny!

Today we picked up our 2024 gen4 with only 1200kms.
 We drove it home on the oem steels but it also came with a extra set of alloys rc33x (oem replica's???) 15x5.5 with bridgestone dueler AT002 fitted in size 225/70-15. It's a chunky mean looking tire but it doesn't look wrong at all on the narrow rim. So I think there is no danger in using it. Diameter is almost identical to the oem tyre.

Also took the time to weigh both wheel/tire combos. Oem was 18,2 kg and alloys with AT are 19.5kg. So not a very big difference so they will not ruin performance I guess.

BTW oem tires on the 2024 in Europe seem to be dunlop at20 grandtrek, not dueler ht
 

The problem with going from a 18.2 kg 195/80R15 tire + steel wheel combination to a 19.5 225/70R15 tire + alloy wheel combination is that you have moved the bulk of the weight towards the edge of the wheel - this has huge impact on braking, potentially to the point of warping the rotors, over a period of time.

Try driving the car for a week on the alloys and then switch to the OEM steels and see if you can feel the difference in the way it stops.

One of my Jimnys came with Dunlop GrandTreks as the OEM rubber, the other with Bridgestone Duellers.

Just wanted te point to the fact that these are very lightweight tires compared to stiffer AT tires like the bfg ko and falken wildpeak at3w and at4w.
And that size 225/70-15 has a diameter very similar to the oem 195/80.
So I do not expect to loose a lot of performance nor mileage.
