I have some Yokohama Geolander G015 A/T tyres ready and waiting to go on when I have finished refurbishing some Jimny steel wheels I bought. Here's one for a sneak peek. I have gone for standard size as I has been unable to fault the H/T Duellers that are on as standard and just wanted to go A/T for better puncture prevention on the rocks.

Before and after

On road, it feels slightly firmer but not overly firm as I do quite like the soft comfy ride of the Gen4. I certainly doesn't spoil the on road comfort. Not been off road yet.

The pictures are just of the bare wheel, one before refurb and one after. It might be a few weeks before i
I get the tyres on.

I blame having too much time on my hands with not doing my 2.5 hour round trip commute. Just having a play really, not sure if it's a keeper at the moment. Temporarily wired in so I can see what it's like in the dark.

I will update when I've tried it in the dark.

Small reversing light 1000 lumens apparently.


Got two different mounts to try, this one with a tilt an swivel on it. Does stand off a fair bit though.




They just clamp over the edge, there is a little shim to stop the grub screws chewing your paint and metal. The door skin side is rubber coated.


The one without tilt and swivel keeps it much flushed to the door.

Never in my life did I ever think I would remove alloy wheels to fit steel wheels :blink: . Had a fair few knocks on the alloys already from rocks. So I bought some 2nd hand Jimny wheels to do up and spray, that way if these get any knocks it'll be easy and cheap to touch up.

Fitted with 195/80/15 Yokohama Geolanders. They don't feel to drive any differently on the dry roads. One slight negative is I have lost my slow speed carpark tyre squeal :laugh: :laugh:
