You are smart enough to save your money Anand ji, my overall objective making this video is to talk about merits and demerit and many of us underestimate these tiny stocks. Thanks for sharing your experiences. BTW, did you do that from Kaza to Manali or the other way around?
Thanks Anil ji! ☺️ Maybe someday, respected members from this forum meet and do this in the realtime with their own little squirrel 🐿️ Jimnys'! Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting! ☺️👍
I kept stock tyres, actually everything is stock in my Jimny and I did Jaisalmer dune bashing (at 26psi), did Sariska trails in this Monsoon (heavy mud sections and a rocky trail. No problem whatsoever. I am going to keep it till it wears out.
Anil ji, many thanks for your feedback. Desert is the only terrain I believe I did not test this vehicle and stock tyres. It is one of the best decisions you made. I love your Rajasthan and people, visited almost 20-25 times with my Thar, other cars, bike, etc. Almost the width and length of Rajasthan I covered including interiors. Love from Himachal Pradesh!
My dear friend, many thanks for your continuous support and missing your comments in a couple of last videos. I try my best in my own natural way and I am glad you like this ☺️ 🙏🙏 Looking forward to continuous support and if possible spread the content whatever you like. ☺️
@ophthalmologist-k Your response is valuable and sir I respect that always. Let me know if sometimes you are planning to travel towards Himachal Pradesh. 😊👍 Regards 🙏
Many thanks my friend! Up to 3% is safe and maximum recommended. Very aggressive can go up to 5% if some genuine justification but not more than that at any case unless redesign the whole thing. I respect your 2% best safer option ☺️👍
Nothing else I need exceeding expectations for all respected members and all who watch this. Vikrant ji, many thanks for your comment and the continuous support. ☺️👍
Thank you Naveen ji, I am trying hard and making videos after lots of research is done. Help to spread if you like the content. Thanks for watching and commenting! ☺️👍
Aha, very well done, a nice spot. Said that wrongly in flow and also missed in editing. You have an eagle eye mate. Wonderful 👍😊 Thanks for the support and encouragement and if possible spread it. 👍
Dear Rakesh ji, ideally tyre manufacturer should tell this based on rubber they have used and stock recommended tyre pressure. But let me try to answer it for you: I see in your other comment where you mentioned 90% of time you do offroad or drive in offroad conditions so it is advisable to drive with little lesser tire pressure (may be 1 or 2 point). When you drive on the highways, drive with stock recommendations. If you feel with least loads, it is bit stiffer on highways with stock pressure then reduce it with one point to make it bit comfortable. But if you are running with loads then you may increase it with 1-2 higher (not more than that). Do not increase the tire pressure in rainy, snowy and slippery conditions at all. In those conditions irrespective of loads reduce tire pressure by 3-4 points for safety perspective. Hope, this helps. 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto Thanks alot sir. Your videos are literally insightful loaded with knowledge.Your content will definitely help people in taking informed decisions. Sir actually I am from hilly areas of Jammu and my regular commute is far more off road and adventurous then people taking out their vehicles once in a while for shooting videos and testing their vehicle's off road capabilities. I can vouch for Jimnys reliability . Thanks for being courteous sir🙏

If you find the "Jimny Cookbook Series" useful, and if you can, please help me to spread the content 😊🙏 I am shortly coming up will lots of Automobile Technical videos apart from Jimny. Rakesh ji, it is your courtesy which is reciprocating and thanks a lot being so humble! 🙏🙏
Great video sir 👍 Learnt many new aspects. I have done Gombor ronjan - Shinkula late season in stock /Brezza tyres and completely agree it's quite a challenge . Luckily we survived even with a FWD car. Also Manali - Kunzum la pass is basically a river bed road. Tyres are really tested there. At the end , I am quite convinced even stock tyres are very good 👍 Adding to the discussion with 215 ; I may add there is slightly more struggle with Jimny steering as well. The car tends to drift more along the natural slope of the road with the heavier/ wider tyre. Hoping that companies in India start making more of the 195/80 with more agressive tread. I do think MRF has one but didn't get to see many reviews with that one
My Friend, I am glad you found some new or additional information. :-) It is kind of nightmare to incline from Gonbo Rangjan to Shinku La specially in winters with snow. Otherwise also it is not an easier task. It challenges vehicle and human both. Good thing about Brezza is the NA engine (Hopefully petrol) and NA engines designed for less oxygen to operate with. No external pump like turbo needed. I soon publish a video on this subject as well. I drive many times along with ChandraBhaga in Lahul Valley after crossing Kunzum La. This 80Kms patch may take even 8-10 hours as well. For more habitual, may be just 6 hours. One of the toughest patch in India like Zansker, Such pass and many other similar patches which are there from years challenging travelers. Well, thicker tires in such situation struggles more because offer more friction and many people start blaming the engine which is not good. I am also on the way to make a video who is real culprit. :-) I am enjoying stock tyres and very cheap because people sell them and I buy them. :-D I am with you on tyres, I do not think the companies will manufacture 195/80 R15 for offroad vehicles, they will only manufacture LT tyres only. Hope for the best. I am enjoyed and enjoying stock tyres. In heavy snow, it hardly matter AT or H/L, one have to have snow chains. MT may change the drive in heavy snow but at last those also need snow chains. So better to use snow chains in stock tyres :-) Isn't it? A valueable comment, thanks mate!
Just one point extra at max e.g. 27 if 26 was recommended. Ideally, the tyre manufacturer should say this based on rubber they have used and recommend tyre pressure of the stock tyres. Please do not inflate much because AT tyres have a bit harder rubber normally than the stock so it become stiffer for the suspension and ride quality both. Hope, this helps!
Replaced stock tyres with Yoko Geolander AT 215/75/ R15 white marking thailand import ,immidiately on buying. What should be ideal tyre pressure for these ,front and back ? Stumbled upon your video , good content .
Thanks my friend! :-) Well, this is more a question for tyre manufacturer based on few factors, e.g. existing recommendation in stock, rubber type of new tire, and definitely size etc. Just to answer your question 1 point extra should work but not more than that because ATs normally have harder rubber than the H/L. Hope, this answer your question.
One thing learned from engineers NA can run higher compression ratio than FI Turbo, but GDI Turbo can run higher & are very costly. I am glad Suzuki kept NA engine for Jimny. Also thanks for saving money on tires, will buy Red Jimny Alpha AT in Nov, will use stock tyre for few thousand kms before upgrading to 215s. I hope Suzuki keep selling Jimny by then. Obviously higher pricing of Thar Roxx has given Suzuki opportunity to not offer discount, Jimny have been Unique only 5door 4x4 AT Petrol currently
I love your sensible comment but few things to add here: NA's are more reliable. FI Turbos are good but outperform in many situations. GDI Turbos are better but missused in India, companies saving money putting that against 3 cylinder engine which is waste of money including 3XO. How this companies making fool of people selling 13-14 lakhs vehicle with 3 cylinder, very bad. Best to buy NA, error free, proven and no complexity - straight forward. I am working on this topic and video will be out soon. Most welcome about tyres, test stock tyres, these will not disappoint you and best Highway rides among all - my tried and tested experience. Well, I like Thar but I never compare it with Jimny, both different vehicles in more than 90% of things. And specially ROXX, it is now totally a different segment. Jimny is not going anywhere, take my words. Lastly, a question: Any specific reason to buy AT?
@@MashofreaksAuto I am from Navi Mumbai near Thane & its always an hour in traffic to get out and explore anywhere. This Jimny is going to my 1st car, I just want to explore India in it a little convenience of AT would be helpful. But still will be taking TD in Oct of both MT & AT.
@@MashofreaksAuto Oh yeah the simplicity of NA is the reason I love it also engine music of NA sounds great for me I know its subjective, but I like NA engines.
Sure, this makes a lot of sense. Great, let me know any Jimny related questions you have or otherwise as well. Any automobile related stuff. Also, if you can, help to spread my content in the right audience. Thanks 😊 👍
If it is really traction control popping then you may switch it off during off-road whenever not required so there will be no braking on wheels during TC works. Sometimes we do not need to stop revving the wheels. The front left tire looks weird to me except the abs module mounted at left. If you are more elaborate this then I will jump in with more facts with greater proximity mate. BTW, this looks interesting 😊👍
Replaced with Yokohoma 215/75R15 the very same day for better exchange price from the tyre dealer before he realise no alternative utility. Went with general consensus opinion that 215/75R15 are the safe & best bet. No regrets at all. May be with 2inch lift kit would have gone for 235/75R15. 🎉🎉. Excellently covered detailed video Sir. Very informative🎉🎉
Excellent choice and I love your gesture I do not regret the decision but face it good or bad it is. The lift kit is only for use cases. Many thanks for the support, comment, keep on doing this and I will keep on bringing useful content ☺️👍
Ideally, the tyre manufacturer should assist you based on stock tires psi and kind of rubber in new tires. As per me, use 1 psi extra what is suggested on stock tyres. PLEASE DO NOT INFLATE MORE THAN 1 PSI. thanks 👍
Am using 215, 75, R15 import yokohama geolander. AT tyre. And what about carrier? Use half carrier bimra too. Is it right sir? Am not facing any problem, in terms of pickup and others too. Wil it be good to install a working snorkel, will it help some of its performance sir?
My friend, Geo Thailand is a really good tyre with very aggressive treads, it must have bluish white letters embossed. It surely gives friction on highspeeds and a bit less avg. Good to hear you are enjoying the performance. I personally do not like half carrier because you can't distribute the weight all over. Otherwise, it is good, the main thing is the fitting. Working snorkeling is a good option, it will help a little not very significantly also you need to care at the car wash nobody is pushing water into. Hope, this helps! ☺️ Feel free to ask more questions! 👍
Hi sir Very informative video ..Ian.from Kerala ,using. stock.tyres..Need to do snow ride on February for the mountaingoat..is the stock tyres enough..
Thanks Mathew! This is a bit complex to answer straigtforwardly. But let me try it at my best. Well, there are many aspects of snow rides. Snow is a bit we commonly refer to all kind of snow terrains but you will see many different varities and situations and hilly terrains add on to this. If it is lots of slush with snow then these skinny shoes give you a grip but also how you drive is main thing. It is not just shoes, vehicle but most of the cases who drive it. I am not saying tyres won't play a role here. But please keep in mind if you go for one of best snow tire still you may need snow chains. At steep gradiants with icy snow, it is very difficult for any tire go smoothly up or down. Never every apply brakes while you are down hill with Icy snow (fresh snow is different). In fresh snow, there is no issues up to 1 foot if you can handle this decently. You experience matters, it hardly matter if you have 215/75 R15 tyres to deal with unless you don't know how to use either of these. Hope, you understand this. But discussion does not end here, please ask a specific question so I will answer it more firmly. Short Answer: Yes, you can handle snow conditions with these tires decently, I did many times little more than a feet snow (but hill gradiants make a lots of difference). Simple rule is, harder the tire lesser is the grip and go slow and steady to win the race in snow. If you are serious about snow and planning few times then buying snow chains is a good option (never use snow chains in rocky or on tarmac conditions). Also, never think that bigger tyres won't need snow chains. Hope, this answers to some extent. Feel free to ask as many as questions you like to, I will be glad to answer all of them. I am waiting for winters to shoot a videos to answers similar questions in snow condition. Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting! :-)
Have done Sela pass with snow and ice on stock tyres.. no issues. All vehicles including fortuner and Innova on snow chain but jimny did it without the snow chains
One more thing, I did 15 different high passes mostly above 5000m and I must say this performed well in stock tyres except for a bit of reduced braking. If you like please help to spread the content in the right forum. Thanks 👍
Sir, another great video. Thorough analyzing of the issue from multiple view points. Can u explain us sprung and unsprung weight?(weight above and below suspension). I suppose a small increase in the unsprung weight ( tyres) will increase the over all load on the vehicle drastically. What is the maximum permissible weight of the tyre with out creating unwanted strain on multiple vehicle components? Also if possible something that does not cancel warranty on multiple components. Once having fixed the maximum permissible weight of the tyre, then we can consider the available options, whether AT or MT.
Thank you! Well, unsprung weight of heavier or bigger tyre as I explained in the video is more on the engine who provide the torque and the suspension well and spring struts are also part of that. As a thumb rule if 3% increase the tire size is the safest bid and it will not put much pressure on the suspension and engine because things are designed for that much of tolerance. MT vs AT is more a usage parameters than the maximum permissible weights.
Well, personally I experienced up to 5% won't give issues in most cases. But the recommended safest bid is within 3% because it is a high and high ground clearance vehicle.
Ok sir. Stock tyre weight is 9.5 kgs. 3 to 5 % weight increase means, we can go for a tyre that is maximum 10 kg. You said to keep the profile height the same in this video. What AT or MT tyre options (brands and size) will be available in that 10 kg range? How about AT and MT tyre options in 195 or 205 width?
3% is size, you can't do much with weight when you do an upsize. You probably will not see AT tire in 205 in India. There may be very few if at all available so the 195 next is only 215 with some constraints I talk about in video. Thanks 👍
Very infomative video Sir. but sir i am already late☺, changed my tyre a week back, anyways sir if you could kindly share some more information about the trye psi accoring to the tyre size. thank you !
My friend, it is just our brain play with us most in our life! So there is nothing like early and late in this context instead we use them as part of a dictionary. Just enjoy whatever you got. To answer your question, ideally, based on the percentage from the stock size change and kind of rubber manufacturer used in new tires it is more a responsibility of tire manufacturers to tell this. Call them on the helpline and ask them. Please revert if still you need help after talking to them my friend. I am here to support you! Hope, this makes sense. Thanks ☺️👍
Though you covered how weight matters. Rim size of Jimny is 5.5J and per European standards, 205 is maximum width of tyre that can be used on that RIM . Though I have seen people using 215/75 without any issues barring poor mileage . What’s your opinion about Bridgestone 215/75 AT . I can see they have this option available now on there website
You are a courageous person and only the people like you set the new benchmarks. As I said, not everyone has the same objectives and a very few like you. Keep on going but avoid serious engine mods. All the best! 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto Thx Sir Sir Sir if I go with 285/75/16 then this 33 It will be approximately 15 inches if I try to go for 15 inch size best size will be 32/10.5/15 complete setup will be with 4 link 4 inch lift that too will be available soon last modification jimny I will have turbo sir, currently I am using it with snorkel steel pipe, the response to air is very good, I don't feel any lack of power
With no warranty and insurance of your car we both will travel to space 🚀. We will be late otherwise we could have brought SUNITA WILLIAMS back as well. From jokes apart, feel free to ask any questions you have. And someday I would like to drive your little squirrel 🐿️ Jimny supercar if you will allow to. 😊👍🙏
Dear friend, the 235 has already eaten into your torque. The 32" is around as big as 275/75R15. Without re-gearing the vehicle, the torque will decrease heavily. Please think about it. Happy driving.
@mashofreaks - I got continental cross contact AT 215/75/R15 installed and i feel jimny really good on it. What are ur thoughts abt continental cross contact 215
Hmnn, Odometer and speedometer both. The entries are mapped in ECM to synch with many modern safety features which need to keep in mind before those calibrations.
sorry to say that, this video is not at all helpful for me because you are late ,i have already committed a big blunder by changing oem tyre to 235, have faced dangerous situation with in few days of changing the tyre ,now back to oem
My friend, I respect your words. Trust me it is never late if you are HOME 🏡. You made the right decision. Sometimes, later or sooner does not matter much.

What should be the correct pressure of 215/75/15 upgraded Yokohoma AT tyre in Jimny?
Just one point extra at max e.g. 27 if 26 was recommended. Ideally, the tyre manufacturer should say this based on rubber they have used and recommend tyre pressure of the stock tyres.
Please do not inflate much because AT tyres have a bit harder rubber normally than the stock so it become stiffer for the suspension and ride quality both.

How you avoid traction control popping on uneven road, it makes annoying abs noise particularly in left front wheel

My friend, Geo Thailand is a really good tyre with very aggressive treads, it must have bluish white letters embossed. It surely gives friction on highspeeds and a bit less avg. Good to hear you are enjoying the performance.
I personally do not like half carrier because you can't distribute the weight all over. Otherwise, it is good, the main thing is the fitting.
Working snorkeling is a good option, it will help a little not very significantly also you need to care at the car wash nobody is pushing water into. Hope, this helps! ☺️
Feel free to ask more questions! 👍
Hi sir Very informative video ..Ian.from Kerala ,using. stock.tyres..Need to do snow ride on February for the mountaingoat..is the stock tyres enough..
Thanks Mathew!
This is a bit complex to answer straigtforwardly. But let me try it at my best.
Well, there are many aspects of snow rides. Snow is a bit we commonly refer to all kind of snow terrains but you will see many different varities and situations and hilly terrains add on to this.
If it is lots of slush with snow then these skinny shoes give you a grip but also how you drive is main thing. It is not just shoes, vehicle but most of the cases who drive it.
I am not saying tyres won't play a role here. But please keep in mind if you go for one of best snow tire still you may need snow chains.
At steep gradiants with icy snow, it is very difficult for any tire go smoothly up or down. Never every apply brakes while you are down hill with Icy snow (fresh snow is different).
In fresh snow, there is no issues up to 1 foot if you can handle this decently. You experience matters, it hardly matter if you have 215/75 R15 tyres to deal with unless you don't know how to use either of these.
Hope, you understand this.
But discussion does not end here, please ask a specific question so I will answer it more firmly.
Short Answer: Yes, you can handle snow conditions with these tires decently, I did many times little more than a feet snow (but hill gradiants make a lots of difference). Simple rule is, harder the tire lesser is the grip and go slow and steady to win the race in snow.
If you are serious about snow and planning few times then buying snow chains is a good option (never use snow chains in rocky or on tarmac conditions). Also, never think that bigger tyres won't need snow chains.
Hope, this answers to some extent.
Feel free to ask as many as questions you like to, I will be glad to answer all of them. I am waiting for winters to shoot a videos to answers similar questions in snow condition.
Thanks for watching, commenting and supporting! :-)
Have done Sela pass with snow and ice on stock tyres.. no issues. All vehicles including fortuner and Innova on snow chain but jimny did it without the snow chains
It's just because of its weight and small footprints which makes it one of the strongest off-roaders.
@@MashofreaksAuto Thank you very much sir..
One more thing, I did 15 different high passes mostly above 5000m and I must say this performed well in stock tyres except for a bit of reduced braking.
If you like please help to spread the content in the right forum. Thanks 👍
Sir, another great video. Thorough analyzing of the issue from multiple view points. Can u explain us sprung and unsprung weight?(weight above and below suspension). I suppose a small increase in the unsprung weight ( tyres) will increase the over all load on the vehicle drastically.
What is the maximum permissible weight of the tyre with out creating unwanted strain on multiple vehicle components? Also if possible something that does not cancel warranty on multiple components. Once having fixed the maximum permissible weight of the tyre, then we can consider the available options, whether AT or MT.
Thank you!
Well, unsprung weight of heavier or bigger tyre as I explained in the video is more on the engine who provide the torque and the suspension well and spring struts are also part of that.
As a thumb rule if 3% increase the tire size is the safest bid and it will not put much pressure on the suspension and engine because things are designed for that much of tolerance.
MT vs AT is more a usage parameters than the maximum permissible weights.
Great sir. I assume you mean 3% increase in tyre weight and not size.
Well, personally I experienced up to 5% won't give issues in most cases. But the recommended safest bid is within 3% because it is a high and high ground clearance vehicle.
Ok sir. Stock tyre weight is 9.5 kgs. 3 to 5 % weight increase means, we can go for a tyre that is maximum 10 kg. You said to keep the profile height the same in this video. What AT or MT tyre options (brands and size) will be available in that 10 kg range? How about AT and MT tyre options in 195 or 205 width?
3% is size, you can't do much with weight when you do an upsize. You probably will not see AT tire in 205 in India. There may be very few if at all available so the 195 next is only 215 with some constraints I talk about in video. Thanks 👍
Very infomative video Sir. but sir i am already late☺, changed my tyre a week back, anyways sir if you could kindly share some more information about the trye psi accoring to the tyre size. thank you !
My friend, it is just our brain play with us most in our life! So there is nothing like early and late in this context instead we use them as part of a dictionary. Just enjoy whatever you got.
To answer your question, ideally, based on the percentage from the stock size change and kind of rubber manufacturer used in new tires it is more a responsibility of tire manufacturers to tell this. Call them on the helpline and ask them.
Please revert if still you need help after talking to them my friend. I am here to support you!
Hope, this makes sense. Thanks ☺️👍
@@MashofreaksAuto thank u sir
Spread the content if you can my friend 👍
Though you covered how weight matters. Rim size of Jimny is 5.5J and per European standards, 205 is maximum width of tyre that can be used on that RIM . Though I have seen people using 215/75 without any issues barring poor mileage . What’s your opinion about Bridgestone 215/75 AT . I can see they have this option available now on there website
A good point, but it is very marginal so mostly works flawlessly. Thanks for your comment! 👍
I year ownership With 235/75/15 Yokohama geolander no problem
Now Preparations are underway to upgrade to 32 inch
You are a courageous person and only the people like you set the new benchmarks. As I said, not everyone has the same objectives and a very few like you.
Keep on going but avoid serious engine mods.
All the best! 👍
@@MashofreaksAuto Thx Sir
Sir Sir if I go with 285/75/16 then this 33 It will be approximately 15 inches if I try to go for 15 inch size best size will be 32/10.5/15 complete setup will be with 4 link 4 inch lift that too will be available soon last modification jimny I will have turbo sir, currently I am using it with snorkel steel pipe, the response to air is very good, I don't feel any lack of power
With no warranty and insurance of your car we both will travel to space 🚀. We will be late otherwise we could have brought SUNITA WILLIAMS back as well.
From jokes apart, feel free to ask any questions you have. And someday I would like to drive your little squirrel 🐿️ Jimny supercar if you will allow to. 😊👍🙏
Dear friend, the 235 has already eaten into your torque. The 32" is around as big as 275/75R15. Without re-gearing the vehicle, the torque will decrease heavily.
Please think about it.
Happy driving.
@mashofreaks - I got continental cross contact AT 215/75/R15 installed and i feel jimny really good on it. What are ur thoughts abt continental cross contact 215
Manjul ji, it has good wet grip and being little litter gives them an edge. Rest, you are already enjoying them 😀 👍
👍👍
@manjulsharma7386 please help to spread the content within interested folks. Thank you! 🙏
Sure sir … this content is really good .
@@MashofreaksAuto - what is ur preferred tyre choice for Jimny .😊
You need to adjust the odometer setting (i think its metres/revolution of a tyre), it can be adjusted by an experienced service man.
Hmnn, Odometer and speedometer both. The entries are mapped in ECM to synch with many modern safety features which need to keep in mind before those calibrations.
@@MashofreaksAuto yes, i saw a video about it somewhere in youtube long time ago...
Wonderful Sir 😊👍
sorry to say that, this video is not at all helpful for me because you are late ,i have already committed a big blunder by changing oem tyre to 235, have faced dangerous situation with in few days of changing the tyre ,now back to oem
My friend, I respect your words. Trust me it is never late if you are HOME 🏡. You made the right decision. Sometimes, later or sooner does not matter much.
For sake of saving many more based on your experience you may spread this video if you like, you may help to save many.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences. You are a courageous person 👍
Don't go over 215/75 R15..
👍
