to be honest mt's arnt that good for winter , they don't like wet roads or ice or snow
at's will grip much better although ice isn't good for any tyre

On a standard Jimny with old style bumper 215/75/15 is the largest you can go with no trimming. With a face lift bumper, like the one I have, 205/75/15 is the biggest due to fouling problems. I run both AT and MT tyres in this size with no problem.

Hope this helps
Ian

And I think yours is the newer one...

And I wouldn't be scared to drive on MT's, even if some people say that those are crappy in the snow. I have driven through the past seven winters(and the winters here in Finland really are winters) on several different treaded MT's, and I have to say that they have worked equally well under a light suzuki. I've had Insa turbo sahara's, super swamper tsl/sx's, kumho kl71's and the last winter was the first one for me in the Jim and I had Insa special tracks. No AT's for me, thanks! ;)
