Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- Just an attempt at comparing all possible tire upgrade/upsize options for the Jimny in one place. And a comparison of the weights and fitment possibilities.
In my entire car life so far, never thought of calculating rotating mass and additional force acting by per tyre size mod. Every second of this video is valuable. is bande nu matha teko 🙏

Last video I saw from tread trail in 2022, and I still remember the details...I see another vedio, liked it immediately
Covered everything on tires, well done. Thanks for making all that effort.
Great channel. Excellent, balanced and robust information we can all use going forward with the Jimnys.
Thank you!
Thank you
@@TreadTrails Is there any options for an ARB airlocker for the Jimny? We have one fitted for the Fortuner and the confidence with which we can tackle our roads ( house is off-road!!) during the Kerala monsoons is very very reassuring
Very deep and thoroughly done...
Thanks
One of the best videos explaining the Jimny tire questions. Thank you so much!
Thanks a bunch Mr. Chahal for giving a detailed yet lucid explainer
Thank you for the clarification… I purchased my jimny yesterday and I went with the continental cross AT 235/75/r15. Will drive it worry free😊
Thanks for the info sir . I went for Yokohama 235/75/r15 geolander AT go 15 104/101 S PR M+S tyre . It doing great , I have run 7500 kms with it .
Great
Hey, thanks for posting another gem on your channel. I am running 215 Geolanders on my Gypsy King with white letters. And I am super happy with them, have done almost 45k on the odo. Took them to one of the gnarliest of places you can find here in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand. I would definitely opt for the 235 Geolanders again on the Jimny, without a Doubt..... Thanks for posting such great videos again and again. Stay Well
Very good tires
In depth knowledge brother keep up the good Spirit.
You are one of the best in the business boss... Great indepth knowledge about what you are doing, sadly most of our Indian youtubers lack that main thing.. salute to your passion for knowledge.. after watching your last few videos one more subscriber added from assam/North East India... Stay blessed, always be happy..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you
Means a lot
Perfect 👍 analysis.... Thank you giving information on rotating mass weight that impact while driving...
8.4kg of rotating mass / kg increase in tyre weight.
Thank you for this very educative video. I will go for the Goodyear 215/75/R15 since i will only use the jimny for the city and want the wider look. Greetings from Chile, Southamerica!
You are welcome
Very helpful review, this has helped me decide which size to go for, thanks.
Great video, thanks for sharing rotating mass calculation.
well studied, comprehensive and useful information . thank you
Thank you
Thanks for making this video, lots of good info.
Welcome
Very informative and excellent presentation. Good Job
Thank you
Awesome and useable upgrade
Beautifully explained.. thank you sir.. I just got a Jimny with good discount and looking to upgrade the tyres.. I feel 235s are a good to go on stock alloys without a lift-kit..
BTW would adding spacers be recommendable if we upgrade to 235s on stock alloy rims
.. or there may be negative consequences?
Best wishes, JD Bro. May your channel grow exponentially.
Golden words- ‘happiness it gives you’ 😂🎉
😁
Bro is on a roll with the jimny stuff😎👍🏼 keep up the good work🫡 really enjoying the videos.
Super video. Will go for the yoko 215
Really happy to see such quality off road oriented content from India. I started developing interest in off road with the launch of Jimny in India. So, really a newbie to the 4*4 side of things. Still, I can understand that you are making really informative and interesting videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
Probably the most detailed analysis available on UA-cam so far-very, very informative. I am glad someone carries the potential to highlight technicalities that are yet to find their space in mainstream media! As always, Cheers to the team!! 😃
Thank you
Keep up the great work ....👍👍👍
Thank you so much for such a wonderful informative video. Must've been quite a task getting all those sizes under one roof.
Eagerly awaiting your lift kit video.
Best wishes.
Thank you
Thanks for the clarification sir.
That’s tons of data and knowledge squeezed into a 15 min video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
The Yokohama Geolandar G015 AT comes in 2 variants:
* Passenger (P) spec: It is lightweight, has a less aggressive and a more dense tread design, which is more suited for highway driving. It only comes in black sidewalls. The 215 75 R15 Geolandar in this video is a Passenger spec tire.
* Light Truck (LT) spec: It is a heavier tire with a more durable construction and tougher sidewalls. The treads are a lot more deeper and chunkier and than their P spec variants for more off-road ability. And these come with the white lettering on the side walls. This is why the LT235 75 R15 shown in this video is a lot heavier and a better looking tire than the 215 75 R15.
These tires are great for all terrains except mud because of the straight line grooves in the tread. The Geolandar X-AT tire addresses this issue and is the overall best all terrain tire from Yokohama, but sadly I haven't seen it anywhere in the Indian market. I hope we get some good options soon!
Very good observation.
I wish they offered the LT for R16 too.
Yes the X is an amazing tread, not in the Indian market yet though
Can you help us identify the two, markings on the side wall ?
@@TreadTrailswhat rims would you get to fit in the 15in. Something stylish
Thanks for the detailed information
Can't wait to see the final product after the lift kit & 30-31" tyre upgrade.
I really want Suzuki to bring the 5door all over the world. Imo it way more practical than 3 door & with no compromises to it's capabilities.
This is the only time i wish for a 5 door over 3 door 😅
Hahaha
Cant go for a long drive with Famly in 5 door variant, Suzuki Knows indian mentality, No one from here is going for Offroading after 3 month of buying these off roaders, suzuki want High sales number from Jimny too, thats why they try to make it more Practical as family Daily Driver's Car. I will buy 3 door over 5 door if Suzuki Launches 3 door for India.
5 Door is also a Head turner and Really a Practical car over its 3 door variant, but 5 doors lakhs that original Charm of 3 door Jimny . You got more Boot Space But it is less Comfortable than 3 door one. Every inch has been taken out for second Row and boot and second row doors, thus compromising every aspect of original design. Far more better than buying Mahindra Thar, the Fuel Drinker
Great comparison and explanation , Jaideep. It really helped clearing my doubt b/w 215 and 235. Finally, I went for Yokohama 235/75/15 G015 first thing after taking the delivery today. Looking forward for more inputs on suspension upgrade, specially where and how to source it.
Do you think it has slowed down the car with that size?
@@SC0410 Drove on 20km on stock, but didn’t feel any loss in power after the upgrade
Does tyre change affect warranty or insurance. Please advise, our car delivery is this week.
@@ebinsaju2636warranty will be void for related parts like suspension etc
Too good a review!!
Thank you
I am so glad that you make this channel and that i am here to subscribe very specific on every video love it!!! much love from Mizoram Aizawl
Quality video as not everyone can have these much of resources. 👍
Thank you
JK Tyre is the most underrated tyre in India. It would be awesome if you could feature them since they are cheap, Indian-made, and come with 2-year unconditional warranty and 3 years of conditional tyres.
You guys should also consider H/T's.
I've got 235/75 R15 H/T's installed on my Jimny and have nothing but positive things to say about them! I've taken them off-roading and they do a pretty kickass job!
Happy off-roading!
I would pick an AT over any HT any day sir
Excellent explanation. Suggest if you can let us know the tyre pressure to be maintained for these diff sizes.
That would be a loooong list and will vary by load and application as well
finally. someone who compares the weight of the tires. being an anemic 1.5 engine, any additional weight will hamper the jimny.
I've run 235 on 5.5" rims on trails and it didn't fail. But anything wider, a proper rim upgrade is better.
Also, 235 rubs if flexed on stock suspension.
All in all, good job explaining as you've covered most points.
Thank you
Does 235 slow down the car?
@@SC0410 it will make it feel sluggish because of the added weight. You can still do more 100kph on it but at a higher rpm. Acceleration will take a hit as well. The issue with 235's or any heavier tire is that on uphill, you will need to drop gears and probably stay on 1st if it is steep enough.
@@chronicle_4 i guess that will be a bummer, specially when I am planning for a manual. Big trade off to gain 16mm ground clearance over 215.
GREAT VIDEO THANKYOU FOR MAKING THIS
Dear Gentle Giant, appreciate the review of the tyres and special thanks for weighing them!
Thank you
I think 215/75/15 is the best size for Jimny without compromising its capabilities.
Very informative and quality content. Keep up the good work. Waiting for your white jimny to be delivered so that the mods can begin.
your videos really informative
Nice comparison this man is looking like Anna 👍
really informative and very clear and too the point
Good vlog dear sir. I am using Yokohama 235’s white letter ones on my Jimny. That rubber small flap could easily be removed. There are just 2 small screws. You talked about no acceleration response loss, which I tend to disagree, in fact it’s the same feel when I had these 235’s on my earlier Gypsy too. Adding 235’s does make Jimny sluggish when going uphill ( I mean the initial throttle response) . And at higher altitudes (passes), it’s even more sluggish. Hope you clarify on this matter. Thanks
Yes, easy to remove. I wanted it to get trimmed on its own 😁
Very informative 🔥
Thanks for such an informative video. Just one question.
What about Geolander 235 70 R15 instead of the 235 75 R15. Do you think that will eliminate the issue of rubbing against the flap?
That oakley holebrooks lens shade is looking nice
Great informative video
Jaideep, what about the Apollo APTERRA AT2 225/70 R15 that fits in between the 215 and 235. Are they any good ?
This is really helpful. I bought 235/70/R15. What is your recommended tyre pressure if driving on pavement/concrete?
Amazing content.
Great content ...thanks
Very informative and interesting video 👍🏼👍🏼
Dear Mr. J.S. Chahal,
I have subscribed to your channel and avidly watched all your videos on the Jimny eversince I booked my Alpha MT on 13th January and still waiting for it in Bangalore city.
Your guidance is required on the supply source in India to procure the Differential Breather Extension kit for overcoming the paltry 300mm water-wading depth of the Jimny. Also, please share your advise on a stainless steel snorkel kit. For me, these two enhancements are critical value-additions to the Jimny. Kindly speak about these two aspects in one of your future videos.
Lastly, it is most helpful of you to share the thumb rule calculation of the 8.4 multiplying factor for every additional 1 kg. of rotating mass. This data point is a real EYE OPENER for us all.
Warmest regards,
Srinath Murthy
Thank you sir
The diff breather can be a diy thing with any braided hose also. But for a proper kit, you can pick the universal fit diff breather kit from Ironman4x4 india also
Thank you so much for this video..
People getting wider wheels, dont understand that wider wheels not only add unsprung mass, it slows down the vehicle, reduces acceleration considerably specially for a small engined car like jimny. Have always upsized tyres since last 2 decades, so i know how even a single upsize adds to all this. For a jimny anything over 215 is an overkill apart for just aesthetics. i would rather have a jimny which is agile and not a lethargic one with wider tyres specially when u have just enough power to manage.
Nothing gets better in indian mkt than the Yokohama Geolanders & Continental AX6 / LX2 for all SUV's
There is what I consider to be the ideal tyre size for the 5 door JIMNY, especially with the extended wheel base as compared to the 3 door version. Unfortunately they are not available 😡 it’s the 215/80R15. The ground clearance increases from 210 to 226. Does not add too much unsprung weight. Geolander makes it in the AT category !
Don’t think it is available here though
@@TreadTrails it’s not, any suggestions as to how to import it ?
Please consider making a video for bumping up the power for offsetting the added weight.
Yes will be doing that too
Hi sir, Great Information.
The issue I think with your initial analysis was incomplete let me put in that where I am coming from, after using the stock tyre for a complete one year 16000km usage in snow, mud, grass except sand on possible surfaces, as my only primary car in Shimla the moment I switched to 235/70/15 Lt At Yokohama Geolander the point you missed out was possibly because of difference in terrains where we dwell, the car has lost its torque to the tune of Rotational mass of additional 240 kg bringing down the mileage as well but rest are all non issues touching is not at all that significant bare minimal on stock suspension as well.
Breaking 100% better
Body roll far less
Straight line and corner stability also superb now
Pot hole rough road mitigation improved
On corner the traction control kicks in little more with feedback.
I use the car every day for a complete rough patch of 1km on 35% incline and decline with sharp multiple three point corners no other vehicle can do what this little devil can do.
But upsize is better than the stock any day.
Issues can be corrected by going for a windbooster or a remap which I never thought but will go now for sure.
T C
Thank you for the detailed analysis, you are 100% accurate here. Being a small engine, the upsize definitely takes a toll on the performance but the benefits as you mentioned are huge as well. And can be countered with correct tuning and other performance enhancement options.
Thank you for making time and sharing your feedback.
plz suggest ideal tyre pressure for 235/75/15 with which ride don't become too bouncy
100th like on the video. Well done. Informative and educative. Keep up the good work.
Thank you
215 looks smart and fit.
Excellent explanation, thank you for helping make the decision. Kindly also advise the right tire pressure for Tarmac with YOKOHAMA 235/75 R15 GEOLANDAR
27 cold all around for upto 4 ppl
grateful for your response. Thank you so much. Regards 😊@@TreadTrails
The best all around on road/off-road tires is the Open Country AT3
Not available in India sadly.
Sir can you please tell that is there any difference in speed of the vehicle as the radius is more of the bigger wheel
Passionate…. Keep it up👍👌👏
Superb job sir ji
I am taking my Jimny Delivery next week, I am gonna upgrade the tyres for sure.
I am not going to take it for any off-road track. But just for the sake of stability and looks I am going to change it.
1) My question to you is should I go for 235/75 R15 or 215/75 R15 ?
2) On a sharp turn with bumpy India road, does it hit the bumper or the inner cladding ??
Plz reply as I have found your videos most useful, just counting on you
Any opinion on the Continental ContiCrossContact AT? Personally I find its tread pattern quite nice and aggressive
When is the white jimny coming ?
Waiting for 29 inches bfg's on Jimny 👍🏻👌🏻
Excellent video bro
Hello sir. Very nice detail you provided. After watching your video i get my jimny lifted and went for 31/10.5/15 tyre. At first i didnot feel much difference in performance(may be I was too excited by its look) but later i found it too be very heavy for the engine to run with, the milege also dropped to 9.5 to 10 ltr/km. So i think its too much for the jimny to handle 31 inch tyre. Whats you sugestion?
The 31” is definitely on the heavier side but no way is it too much. Will need ancillary mods as well like a nice ecm remap or a pedal tuner at least.
Interesting, but I feel You didn’t address a couple of issues -
- the stock rims on the Jimny are 5.5j and as such any size over 215 width makes the tyre bulge. (215s fit from 5.5j to 7j). Bulging tyres as can be apparent on yourJimny, makes it less safe - more prone to blowout and also the full width of the 235 section isn’t hitting the Tarmac. So what’s the point?
- you say it’s only touching a rubber part on full lock. But this is when the veh is standing still or moving straight on a smooth road. Any bit of off-roading or even uneven roads will make the car pitch and trust me, the bigger tyres will scrape against the body. So either the plastic part of the car gets worn out or the tyres get worn out. Tyres replacement in six months, anyone?
- the wheel rims and tyres are the suspended weight. The Arms, the ball joints and the tie rod ends/ link rods bear the weight. It doesn’t matter how heavy or light the vehicle is. The chassis supports the weight. Whereas these suspended weights have to be as light as possible. Even a kilo heavier is a big deal. It’ll just make the suspension very stressed and will give way sooner. Esp if you decide to go off-road on a regular basis.
- the larger the tyre, the less fuel efficient the car’s gonna be. It matters more on underpowered petrol vehicles like the Gypsy and the Jimny.
- the Jimny is already a pretty underpowered car. Any additional weight (esp on the suspended parts) will make it quite a bit slower and more sluggish. You can check UA-cam for a few International videos of similar Jimnys running stock vs larger tyres drag race or set lap times. It’s all there.
I say all this from experience. I’ve tried various combinations of tyres and suspension on Gypsys and Mahindras and have gone hard core off roading and also on long tours.
I know suspension cause I’m in the field. I own a workshop in Sikkim and repair cars.
If you just want to put the largest size tyre on stock rims just for an ego boost and don’t want to invest in suspension/ wider rims upgrade then I guess you could put 235s but they will only harm the vehicle in the longer run.
Otherwise, on stock setup, 215s are the widest you can go safely. It looks good enough and will be competent enough.
If you are concerned about fuel efficiency and quick times, stick to stock sizes.
Good detailed information. What if we use 235/75r15 LT tyre in the same 5.5j wheel instead of using P tyre makes any defferance?
Reason I went with the 215's
Hello Jaydeep, Good rundown on the Tyre Upgrade. Sadly decided not to proceed with the Jimny as we found the costing too high for 4 seats, but suited only for two in real terms. However letting go of the 4x4 option and the Jimny, and for only a Lac more thinking of more Comfort, Space and a bit of Luxury, will be looking at the Kia Carens. In view of which, could you suggest an upgrade size for the same as it comes with a 205-65-R16 and feel a larger profile would do the trick. Look forward to our views.........
There is always a scope of upsizing by one to get a better road confidence and a plush ride.
Hello jaideep, Not every tire is good in every size?which ones less preferred in 215 for you?
I would prefer the bfgoodrich at 1 , 2 Goodyear and 3 Yokohama for 215
If we change the tyre size to 215 or 235, does the warranty will be void? Can anyone reply
Exceptional......
Where can i get bf goodrich 235/75/r15
Excellent explanation❤, sir in recommended size MT or AT is available in any tyres brand?
Loads of options in AT
Please make a video for tire pressures for on-road & off-road driving on Jimny
The off-road tire pressure will mostly depend on the terrain and might also need a pressure raise before getting on the Tarmac. But for the 235/75/15 in Yokohama or the Goodyear, 28psi all around is something which can work well in most situations
Hi, How much air pressure would you recommend for geolandar 215 r15 on Jimny? Both for highway and off-roading.
225 or 235 which one will you recommend sir?
235
Fantastic vlog , good wishes from Bhopal ( MP ) , on stock Gymny Rims wt Yokohama 235 how about suspension travel ? Will it hit wheel arch top in potholes ?
Not in potholes, only scuffs Incase of extreme articulation
I would like to see an FB74 with the largest tyres in this video. Thanks for this, very informative. Also if you fit an 8 inch width rim what offset is required?
Minimum-10 with 8j
-19 fits beautifully
@@TreadTrails can you find an overdrive unit to fit the FB74?
Hi jaideep,its been more than 2 months you been using 235 wrangler.Any updates? Does it still rub on plastics/rubber. Whats the tyre pressure you figured out?any issue specifically for 235’s while offroading?
Also appreciated your view on appollo apterra 225/70/r15 as it is the only option in 225.
Nicely explained BUT if the camera person can point to the tyres instead while explaining as in some instances the viewer cannot see which tyre your hands are pointing to
Haha we are still learning 😁
So with 235s one is pulling additional 200kgs(approx for 4 wheels) on a moving car?
Almost
At full articulation 235 leaves no space between liner and tyres.. specially at rear side.
Hi Jaideep, Thanks for explaining how the tyre behaves at the front. Is the 235s not rubbing (at rear) on full flex? Please help
Not much rubbing in the rear with 235s
13:55 💯💯
Eagerly waiting for your white Jimny and the mods that will follow. Glued.
Thank you
Good morning Jaideep! Is it true that unlike thar, jimny comes with a solid front axle?
Of course yes, that’s what makes it so desirable
