Tire Upgrade / Upsize on the Jimny
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Trying to get a real world feel of how the different sizes of tires look on the Jimny and the scope of clearing the fenders with a set of 31” - 275/65/R17 BFGoodrich KO2 tires.
The Jimny has very well shaped impressive wheel arches which will happily accommodate the larger tire sizes with a lift kit to aid with the clearance
* Stock Tire Size - 195/80/R15 (Bridgestone Dueler)
* Option 1 with stock suspension - 215/75R15 (BFG KO2)
* Option 2 with 50mm Lift Kit - 275/65/R17 (BFG KO2)
Not many people go to a dealership with a measuring tape and two odd sized tyres. Hats off man. Keep the good content flowing. Cheers
You are the only positive youtuber on Jimny i'd seen so far. People complain about space frequently but i would always think that they might be wrong. If they are so happy with gypsy why complain this Mountain goat. They should be off buying Hitachi Excavators. You got a point with your enthusiasm. Love your channel.
This video speaks volumes about your enthusiasm for automobiles. It also highlights your knowledge as you are already discussing tyre sizes, taking them to the dealership when no one has had the chance to even look at the vehicle in detail. And the intention of making that effort for your audience, just to share knowledge, certainly makes this channel stand out from the rest. Keep up the good work! 😊
Thank you
I'm disappointed that he didn't demonstrate it by actually replacing the stock rear tyre with the one he brought 😏😏
@@bokinlego I think he definitely would have, if he could have. At the time when this video was recorded, there was only one jimny being circulated in the showrooms throughout northern India . So I don’t think Suzuki could have allowed people to experiment with the one and only vehicle available then-keeping in mind it was for everyone to see.
@@TreadTrails where can we get the bf goodrich 215/75r15
You know brother! You are the only one who identified the similarity of the Giminy and the OG Gypsy.
Speedometer!
Touched my heart.
It's somthing for the enthusiastic people.
Thank you
One of the most informative and intelligent analysis of the 5 door Jimny yet, and the thorough work behind the tyre options really help look at the 5 door with much more respect. Thank you Jaideep and team, much appreciated.
Jaideep your technical knowledge is too good. Your videos are truly informative then what generally people cover. Thanks for sharing 👍
jaideep sir is a legend in tastefully and needly modifying and collecting cars in india. hats off
One of the very very few people who talk sense while reviewing this vehicle. Otherwise RUclips is overflowing with stupid reviews. You hit the nail right on the head. Really looking forward for your upcoming videos.
Thank you
Nice to see your passion for cars.. never seen anyone actually carrying measuring tapes and tyres to a dealer to show such details to the viewers.. good work
Wonderful to hear things that haven't been covered elsewhere... Have booked one too...Am lost when it comes to technicals but had zeroed down to the 215 you mention....The information has been very useful...Thanks
Been watching videos on the topic of 4x4 / off-roading since I decided to buy one myself. Mr. Jaideep Singh Chahal is probably someone who knows lot about the topic and talks with passion. But then I look at subscriber base and likes and I think .. why? I have a theory; he is like royalty on this topic and we mere commoner like to keep distance :-) -- Love from Maharasthra!
Haha…that means a lot sir 😁
It’s simple. It’s the same reason why close to a billion watch Big Boss and only a handful watch HBO. Crass is mass in our country. And J’s one who serves quality.
Love the commitment!!!😊
One of the best detailed video sir thanks ❣️💪🏼
I'll be following this shit.
Now that's an informative video, on point and not mindless jimny bashing.
This is next level. Keep it up brother
I saw Jaideep in one of Abhinav’s videos about Jaideep’s own v cross.
I am more than fairly impressed with his knowledge & technical know how about 4x4s.
Eagerly waiting to see him do a tastefully done version of Jimny in future.
SAME HERE DUDE, THE INTERCOOMM SYSTEM BEYOND DOPE
Going across the state of puniab it is normal to see jeeps, safaris, thars and gypsy with absurd size tyres. They might look odd but i guess they are keeping the custom and mod seen alive in the country. Ive no doubts that we will be seeing lots of jimny with huge size tyres including big rims and low profiles, keeping in mind what is being done with Thar. Exciting times for Indian automotive industry ahead.
Good content and beautifully explained
❣️
Option 1 with stock suspension - 215/75R15 (BFG KO2)
Information that I was looking forward to for a jimny
Those massive tires and lift kit would surely look great
Yes , can’t wait to see the final outcome
@@TreadTrails me too brother 🤩, looking forward for your future videos on mods.
My man, the way you have described everyring is truly satisfying and more importantly it is very informative. I have my hat off for this. May Rama bless you
Fantastic review sir. Easy to imagine what a beautiful project vehicle the mod friendly jimny will turn out to be. Keep up the good work.
Now this is an objective view on this little truck ! Good stuff mate. Spot on about the mk1 Pajero as well.
Excellent,review.keep it up.👍
Thanks a lot ... was eagerly wait for this ... will be looking forward for more upgrades
Great video, thanks for details
That’s a great coverage on the Jimny. All other reviews are just reading brochures. This one kept me glued. Very informative. Waiting for further mod videos on Jimny so that we can learn for our build.
Regards
No nonsense
Amazing review
Finally, a refreshingly different content especially related to tyre upgrade. Nice 👍. I am considering two options - 215/75 - R15 (Yokohama Geolandar G015) or 225/70 - R15 (Apollo Aptera AT2) as tyre replacements. The latter will be closest to dia of the stock tyre.
Yokohama
Giving us such content is what makes TreadTrails aka Mr Jaideep Singh Chahal special! Thank you so much. Have been waiting for this one since a long time. Hats off
commendable knowledge type of review i love to watch 😊
Thats a great review on the upcoming Jimny. Keep up the good work
Yes from you it was much awaited 🎉
Rhats a quality content hats off to you and suzuki for letting you inside the showroom with that stuff❤
You earned a subscription from my side sir😊
What a smart person., I was thinking about this lift kit and no one on RUclips was talking about. 200% on the spot amazing personality
Thanks a lot now more excited for delivery of my car
Any commitment from MSL or nexa dealer for probable date of delivery to start. All will boil down to the price, Jimny is launched for. Hoping for early delivery, as I booked on the 1st day when the bookings opened on 12th Jan this year.
Jaideep Bhaji Himself is a Beast 🦬, anyways, good video bhaji.
Very informative video which we really needed. Thanks man!
These are the Good Option for Jimny
225/70R15 - Apollo AT & AT2 series
215/75R15 Ultramile AT Bull & MT Bull
Yes the sizes are right but I would really not recommend these tires.
Much better options are available
Do consider the Goodyear wrangler AT/ST
Great content
Need this kind of knowledge
Keep it up
What a great videos. Reminds me of the gypsy king from my college days which boys used to love with 295 maxxis tyres. Waiting for more content from this channel. You have a new subscriber.
You really walked in with 2 tyres options thats equivalent to spoon feeding for your audience ❤hat's off
And yes people are annoyed as the height is low but they fail to understand it keeps the centre of gravity low so even after a lift and upgraded tyres the driver will be confident to take steap obstacles
Exactly, a low cg vehicle with a good ground clearance is the best overall package
Jaideep bhai 27.7 inch looks really a practical mod for everyone who do not want to spend more on the overall modification. Because anyways I see everyone will remove the stock tyres who ever thinks of taking this off roads.
Yes I feel the same too, but there are 2 other sizes that work very well on stock wheels
235/75/R15 and 30x9.5/R15
Those will be perfect upgrade if they are available in India by the time the Jimny is launched
@@TreadTrails nice bro, looking forward for the vehicle to launch, may be after I buy this ScorpioN will be driven less😁
Hats off to this guy bringing dirty offroad tyres inside the showroom😆🤣
Someone had to do it 😁
Great coverage. Waiting for more reviews on possible mods on upcoming Jimny. Waiting for more.
Waiting for deliveries to start and mods to begin 😊
That's a great, to the point video. Keep up the good work
Excellent and meaningful review of the Jimny, will look forward to the video with inches tyres
Thank you , yes will upload soon
Waiting for the deliveries to begin and mods to start 😊
finally some quality content on gimny , keep it up bro...
This will, however screw up the mileage, but then those going in for these mods probably don't really care.
235/75 r15 with iron man lift kit, air filter upgrade, ecu tune is sufficient I believe to get decent mileage. Good video buddy. Awaiting the mod video.
Do a video on turbocharger kits for the jimny 😋
One can vision what monster can be made out of jimny. But all will boil down to the price it is launched for!
Hi Jaideep! Do you know if it's okay to put a 235 without a lift kit? Or will it touch the tub?
Agreed 215/75/15 is the way to go for almost 90% of folks wo going over the top.
Imma prob go with Goodyear Wrangler Silentrac AT ⭐
The Goodyear Wrangler Silentrac AT is probably the best AT option after BFG ko2
I remember using Goodyear ATs on Mahindra Scorpio getaway 4wd some 10 years back while attempting winter spiti. Until the vehicle bottomed out in snow, the tyres never lost even an inch of grip.
Extremely informative…great going bro
Very good explanation.
Keep it up Jaideep!
Great review
Great video, finally covering new stuff.
In addition to purpose, one upsize tyres will also improve the slightly flattish looking side profile the long wheelbase Jimny with stock tyres.
Off topic - will be rather interesting to see how the Jimny fares in the Himalayan raids. Sure the old devil - the Gypsy, creeping up in the rear view will without doubt make some Jimny crews nervous.
Thanks Mr. Jaideep :) I am planning to use the stock tyres for sometime and then upgrade. Will keep looking for more Mods ideas from you :)
Very good explanation
Keep up the good work
Waiting for more
Excellent, loved to watch
Damn I love this information ❤❤❤
Great explanation
Awesome
Great modification analysis. Waiting for the jimny to hit the road and the mods that will follow. Glued.
Super sir great work
Great technical knowledge
Big fan
Hi sir, big fan!
Subscribed... I will wait for two years and watch the actual user reviews of owners for the Jimny 5 door, then sell out old vehicles in my garage and make way to own a Jimny.
What a great analysis veer! I really wanted to park my Gypsy, along with the Jimny in the dealership for the best comparison. 😂
Also, 30 9.5 R15 would also be a great tire size for the Jimny with a 2" lift kit.
Keep up the good work! Your channel will definitely grow into something big! 💯
Hahaha, I just hope we start getting 235/75/15 and 30/9.5/15 in india too
Quality content 👍
Great mod analysis.
Great explanation. Kindly do a detailed walkaround video and other mod potential of the Jimny. Great video
if anyone goes for the 27 inchers ko2, does the stock wheel [steel not alloy] work?
Yes Ofcourse
bolt on turbo kit is also available.
Of course yes 😁😁
Gypsy lovers are going to love the Jimny!
Good job
@TreadTrails
Can I put BF Goodrich 235/75/ R15 KO2 directly on the stock wheels without any lift kit or without changing the bumper. Please suggest. If lift kit is needed can I purchase it from you.
Yes 235/75/15 will fit with everything stock intact - wheels, bumper and suspension
@@TreadTrails Can I purchase the tyres from you Sir. Is it available with you.
Interesting topic however there are several flaws in what you’re suggesting for tire upgrade options for this vehicle.
Nothing wrong with 215/75R15 BFG as it is well within the acceptable tolerance (3%) of the weight/rolling diameter of that of the stock tire.
Your suggestion of fitting 275/65R17 on Jimny is simply ludicrous.
The rolling diameter of the stock tire (195/80R15) is 27.3” and the weight would be approx. (27 to 31lbs). The rolling diameter of the tire (275/65R17) that you’re suggesting is 31.1” which is 13.9% higher than that of the stock tire and this is just the first problem. The weight in this case is 50 lbs and that means 80 lbs of extra unsprung weight (on all four wheels). Besides this 275/65R17 BFG is an LT tire which means it has a load rating of “E” which is used for light trucks that need extra strengthening of the sidewalls to carry weight. “E” rated tires are normally not recommended for passenger vehicles. And all of this means very rough/bouncy ride quality & high fuel consumption.
Even if you go for negative offset wheels and a 2" lift, the largest tires you can fit without trimming are 235/75R15 as there's not enough space in the wheel well.
The increased rolling diameter will not only bugger up the steering and suspension geometry but will also result in increased wear and tear of knuckles/tie rod ends/ball joints and wheel bearings. Jimny comes with a measly motor that puts approx. 75KW and has a payload of just 340Kgs. By putting these giant tires you have now reduced the payload to 300Kgs which means 4 average-sized adults & no luggage. This puny engine even with stock tires will struggle with 4 adults on board; with these tires, it will become even more sluggish.
Besides, what exactly are we trying to achieve here by suggesting this humongous tire on this tiny vehicle. The biggest tire that is sensible for this vehicle will be 215/75R15 as you have already suggested however people are free to do what they want with their vehicles. I felt it is important to put out this information so that customers make an informed choice.
Seriously differentiated content - no reciting the memorized brochure, which gets repetitive soon. Keep it up. Ek subscribe hamari taraf se.
Your reactions now that the prices are out?
Thanks for the tyres bit in the video. Couple of questions there... Would an R16 fit on the stock rim? Which one would to recommend?
I wonder if the driving comfort improve vs the 2 dr being this a long wheelbase.
Yes it should feel more stable
If i upsize my tyres to continental 215/75 R 15 do i still the correction bushes for the differential
No you don’t.
Sitting on the fence for the 5 door thar. Your build might just tempt me into owning the jimny. All the best 👍👍
Get the Jimny paaji, ideal vehicle to use at the farm too 😁
@@TreadTrails waiting for a test drive once you get yours modified. 😀
Cant we put bit wider than 215 with 15 inch rim ?
What should we go with if we want to make tyres to come out of the body like thar with fuel alloys and also bigger rim size ?
You will need something like a 10j wheel with -44 offset
@pahiya4x4 had a set I believe
Love the video. Now tell me how we can bribe you into making a follow up video of your Thar and if you still have it or got rid of it. And if you got rid of it, reasons! Don't keep us waiting for so long, Jaideep!
Hahaha I am really sorry , gave that one way long back after just a few months of ownership.
@@TreadTrails ok thanks for ending the mystery! Have fun with the new builds. Love watching your videos. All the best!
Wow great technical knowledge 👍👍excellent video loved to watch
very nice and very well explained🙂
With that big a tyre upgrade, i think you'll need reduction gears too. Stock low range wont be low enough anymore
Waiting for the mods video now, as deliveries have already started.
Very informative
How much will the Ironman Lift Kit & the 31" Tyre cost?
Still waiting for the official price announcement for the ironman lift kit , but should be close to 1.5-1.6ish
And the price for 31” bfg is coming out to be close to 26-28k/tire , these cost 237$ is the US , so that’s almost 20k per tire
Expect these to be around the 26-28k mark here for sure
Added weight is the enemy for this engine . Any power upgrade solutions ??
These are loads of options, but I suggest waiting for the official launch and the vehicle to get tested in real life scenarios once
