Hi all,
I did some back reading on the possible tire size change which i saw are the ff:
205/70 r15 stock or
205/75r15 or
215/70 r15
Can you help me on which all terrain tire is best as a replacement to make my jimny an off road and an on road ride?
Brand name model and price if you have, also some feedback/review.
To add as informed by sir Tifosi regarding wobbling will that occur if replaced from stock to all terrain or the 215/70 or the 205/75.
Plrase share your insights and experience.

Thanks in advance,
Cesar

You may dropby at 4xforce of Joey millionado (it's a chicken resto actually, the garage is at the back) in Granada street going to ortigas avenue from N.Domingo it's on the left side before mcdo. He could help you with your jimny.

re: wobble

read a lot about this on 4x4 phil and bigjimny.... they say a steering damper only hides the real problem and does not correct the cause.... read this: BigJimny Forum :: Topic: THE DEATH WOBBLE THREAD (1/4) it details the causes of the wobble... balancing and kingpin bearings are only two factors.... hope this helps....

re: tire size

in the jimny world, changing tires from stock is to achieve two things, more traction: from the original HT Duellers to an AT or MT.... or more clearance... from 205 to 215 or from 70 to 75.......... i now use Savero AT 205 70 r 15 on my 05..... the thread design will give you the traction you need when off-road... on road, the noise level is not that audible... as for height, my outer diameter is 668 mm.... if you were to change to a 205 75 r15 your outer diameter will go to 688.5 mm or you are now have gained a little higher clearance of 3% without rubbing or almost an inch, if you go 215 70 15 your outer diameter will go to 682.5 slightly smaller gain..... a 2.1% gain.... without modification, both will fit a jimny........i got my Savero at 3850 per tire way back early 2012... there are price increases as the tire gets bigger.... so far so good......

mindanao based po ako.... davao city... when i was canvassing for prices, the highest was about 450 higher than the 3850 i got with free mounting, balancing (except weights)... so take you time, 450 per tire is a lot...

Would you guys know if there are on going promos for the Jimny? Or better yet would you know a dealer that could give me a good deal? Thanks!

Yung sa akin, hindi naman nawala ung wobble, between 60-70kph sya lumalabas, pag >70kph smooth na. Bago kingpin bearings, naka steering damper(procomp), at newly balanced na din.

Ingat din yung mga maglalagay ng adjustable panhard/lateral rods kasi pwede sya maputol dahil sa wobbling, kagaya ng nangyari sa akin buti na lng mabagal takbo ko noon.
