Dear Bosanek,

you have made a very good job about tyre options for the jimny. I would like to make some contributions, but would like to know if the intention is to maintain a UK focus, or to enlarge the scope to a more global approach. Recently, jimny has been made in Brazil, in many different versions, including 215 tyre size, diferent bumpers and so on. So would like to know if a global approach is desired. Also, there are many different tyre size availability in some brands, from country to country. For instance, Michelin south america developed the ltx force (it´s been replacing the LT /AT2). This tyre had the 205 75 r15 size, and was made considering the terrible south american contryside roads. http://www.michelin.com/fre/presse/Presse-et-actualites/actualite-michelin/Innovation/MICHELIN-LTX-FORCE-la-meilleure-solution-quelle-que-soit-votre-route.

Hello Nelson,

First of all - thank you for the commendation. I did my best to cover the topic to its fullest, most by the original research.

Since I am not from UK (I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina, also in Europe), my personal goal is to enlarge the scope of any Jimny wiki article to the global level.

However, my personal opinion is that each writer should take care to clearly indicate any country-specific and region-specific information which they add to any wiki article.

For example, the information about tyre pressures is a global one, not region specific. But in another example, information about Brasilian Jimny tyre sizes should clearly be mentioned in its own subchapter, in order to prevent confusion to readers who are not from South America.

Regarding tyre models and sizes, I keep my personal table of worldwide available tyre models and sizes which I linked as read only to this wiki article. I welcome anyone to inform me about new tyre models or region-specific tyre models which I omitted from my table. My table is naturally european-based as I am most familiar with that tyre market. I will any new contributed information to my table as soon as possible. I have already added this Michelin model to my table. If you have information about any other tyre models, please let me know.

Hi Bosanek, I am confident that this approach will work great and so I will slowly dosome modest contributions. I would like to say that I did not work for, or have any benefits from Michelin, just almost had accident 2 times with pirelli tyre bubles exploding in highway.

For your table: Michelin Latitude Force is made in 205 70 r15 size in Brazil (http://www.michelin.com.br/tudo-sobre-carros/pneu/SUV-e-4x4/Misto/LTX-Force.html). Michelin also have the Latitude cross, a unidirectional AT tire, more prone to less off road use. It is available in 215 75 r 15.(http://www.michelin.com.br/tudo-sobre-carros/pneu/SUV-e-4x4/Misto/Latitude-Cross.html?xref=&yref=).

Brazilian 215 75 15 experience: About tyre pressure: Brazilian suzuki indicate 28 psiwithout weight (4 tyres) and 29 front 30 rear with full weight, for the 215 75 15 tyre size. This pressure raised a great debate between brazilian owners. I had experienced many part failures (king pin, wheel bearings/shocks short lived), but was fontunately enough to receive 3 reapirs and many parts even after 3 years warranty, by the brazilan suzuki.Today, majority of jimny with 215 tyres uses lower tyre pressures (23 front 26 rear (empty) and 23 f 29 rear (full) or lower. In loose beaches sand, I was able to use 9psi without problems.

Also, brazilian jimny "for sport" model, have a unique bumper, that resolved tyre-bumper problems. However, the 2017 model, changed back to 205 size, and we still dont know if it is based in economical crisis, or something technical between brazilian and japanese suzuki.

I am very interested in 195 85 r 15 sizes. Kuhmo road venture tires had the size in catalogue, but unfortunately Kuhmo did not sell then in Brazil, nor Argentina. (http://www.kumhoargentina.com/blank)
