On my SJ I had 325/60-15 tires. Worked brilliantly for me as the /60 profile made it better handling on-road as well.
It is the tires in my avatar picture.
No way they would fit my jimny unless I cut massively.
I would like better to have wide tires than to mess up the crawl ratio too much with too tall tires.. I would stay with the smaller diameter with 1.3 engine and original gearing. 235's is just for show unless you gear down and/or go 1.6.

Did you get anything sorted in the end?Mole wrote: Completely get that and think your right I'd be happy to go for a less aggressive tire but do want a decent side lug do you have a tire you could recommend that would be a half way house
Lots of good tyres out there these days.

If a Jimny gets stuck in ruts it is likely grounded on one diff at least, possibly both and or a radius arm mount.
In which case there's far too much resistance for a side lug to overcome.
To get out of the rut you'll need to turn the main tread to grip on the rut.
So whilst I see your theory, I don't think it will work well enough to warrant the expenditure when really what you need is more ground clearance. That means bigger tyres and lower gearing and even more expense. Like I've been through!
