Welcome to the forum. The standard automatic will not like having big tyres any more than a clutch in a manual will. It will produce a massive amount of heat from the torque converter which will cook the transmission fluid and damage the solenoids. You would need to fit a lower geared transfer box and or differentials and run an upgraded or additional transmission cooler.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!
A major plus one on your final comment Lambert. Additional cooling (along with monitoring temperature) aren't mentioned nearly enough when talking about the auto trans on the Jimny.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
Even if you add additional gearbox fluid cooling, you're not really solving the problem of it being geared too high and all you're doing is helping it to cope.
You still need to address the gearing with a Rocklobster or lower gearset in the standard transfer box.
Why go to 235/75/15 if you aren't going to do any proper off roading?
Go 215/75/15 as a good compromise.
