You're putting Special Tracks on a brand new motor! That means you're going to use a brand new Jimny in the rough stuff then yeah?

If so - you have my respect!

I anticipate the warranty may go out of he window but only if they know what tyres were on at the time of the breakage! ;) ;)

I can't promote dishonesty though, so obviously you wouldn't make a claim on the warranty telling them you had standard tyres on when you didn't would you now! If you were you'd have to have put standard tyres and wheels back on anyway, far too complicated.

Nah don't think I have the guts to take it in the rough stuff yet haha. I just want some decent tyres as I dont plan on getting stuck in winter.

The warranty shouldn't be voided aslong as I fit the same size tyres as stock and I also dont plan on taking somewhere where i'm going to break it haha, I brought the jimny knowing I wont be able to mod it to much or get into off roading hard out until the warranty is over which is fine because as is im still able to go where I want.

I dont need a massively aggresive tyre I was just thinking soecial tracks because of price but I havent found a dealer in NZ who sells them yet so I may have to spend abit more and get maxxis tyres.

These Maxxis Trepador M8060 205/70/R15 are very good tires !!!
Good grip on- and off-road, also in the wet (i mean on road off-course ;) )!
Now a friend of mine is running them on his Samurai en they still in mint condition.
They are really worth their money.

I had them trough deep mud and steep slopes and they did get me passed every time.
The only times i was stuck was in those deep ruts where my diff's were stuck onto the ground.
That's the only reason that i changed them to BF Goodrich TA KM2 215/75/R15.
When these are worn maybe i will go to the Maxxis 30's

I agree - if you not going to offroad then Special Tracks are not the tyres to have

The Trepadors are good all round tyres that are good on the road still and will deal with snow better than a special track and still give you the tuff look you are looking for :)
