Replied by yakuza on topic Jimny in Canada

Been driving lots of gravel roads here in Norway and Sweden following the TET: transeurotrail.org/

Using both my Jimny and also my T5 "overlander". Before I got the BFG AT tires on the VW T5 transporter it was sliding alot on the loose gravel. Now I find the car very stable and much nicer to drive on gravel than with standard road tires. The noise on tarmac is a pain however.
The jimny has allways had large BFG MT tires with lots of threads so I think it behaves nice. I Use a bit lower air pressure on gravel and bumpy roads.

Edit. Rarely use 4x4 on these roads though, they are mostly dry. If wet gravel or mud I might put the Jimny in 4x4, but never been an issue.

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.
