You do realise 215/75/15 retreads/remoulds may not fit as these are larger
So you're looking at new in 215/75
You can fit 195/80/15 retreads as long as tread is not to extreme

Yes I have the Maxxis Wormdrive in 215.75R15.

I think they look good and have performed well thus far. I've been off road with them and done 2000+ road miles. Not used in the snow or frost yet, but would expect them to be good.

No complaints at all in terms of the tread.

Only point of note (and I'm not sure what age Jimny you have). The bigger and heavier tyres over stock do impact performance and mpg. Both are liveable and I doubt any other brand of tyre would be significantly different.

Bought some of these for my Land Rover, not really used in anger yet.



The Wormdrives however seem to really suit the Jimny for my mix of on and off road use. The Land Rover is used more heavily off road.
