Evening
  a few week ago I posted about tyres to replace my wife's 2023 stock 15 in tyre dunlop at .   not wanting to lift the car. leaving it stock
so new tyres I can fit without issues rubbing wanting it to look a bit better than the stock tyres

We have decided to go with the bfg goodridge  

as I was told size's  that would fit when I look at ordering sum on internet there's a few numbers they stick on end of tyre size
confusing to me as I don't want to order wrongly I am green to this please bear with us
so this is a online dealer that you buy the tyres and get them fitted free at a garage near to myselfB F Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2215/75R15 100/97SEAN: 3528700971682Summer4x4

We don't go off road mainly road and gravel 

Will these fit our jimny  with no messing and are wat we need thanks john and jacky

215/75/R15 is fine to fit. No other mods needed.

BFG KO 215/75r15 will fit your 2023 Jimny with no messing.

The 100/97 is a load rating, plenty more than enough for a light weight like a Jimny.

The S is a speed rating (112MPH) again more than enough.

However, that's an expensive tyre just for the look of it. BFG KO is a great tyre offroad but on road will give significantly higher fuel consumption and might increase wet braking distance. You might also notice a difference in ride/handling over the stock tyres.

You can fit any "new" (meaning not a retread or remould) 215/75R15 tire without fear of it rubbing or fouling.

That question really translates to what is available in your neck of the woods - OR - how far are you willing to go to get what you want.

If "looks" are important - take a look at the General Grabber A/Tx - it's an all terrain tread pattern, very similar in appearance to the KO2, less expensive, and in my opinion, a pretty good tyre for on road and light off road use - I've been running these on my wife's Jimny for about three years now, and she's very happy with them.
