Writing from Vancouver, Canada. I've imported a 2006 JB43 and haven't had a chance to drive it much yet as it had some death wobble and haven't gotten it fixed and registered in Canada yet. It came with some 195r16 tires Toyo Tranpath M/T (it's got 16" steelies). Also as you can see aftermarket front and rear bumpers with increased clearance. This isn't a daily driver, the plan is to use it more as a bush truck to reach remote camping and hiking spots around western Canada. I don't want to put a lot of money into upgrading it (re-gear, etc.) as that sort of defeats the purpose of this small, cheap vehicle. It currently has a 2" lift installed on it.

I've been reading lots of forums about tire size recommendations and it sounds like 215/75r15 (or the equivalent in 16") is recommended. Also I'm not sure about load index as I've usually driven bigger vehicles like a patrol (also imported form Japan) in the past. I'm looking at 215/70 R16 load 100 or 225/70 R16 load 103. Looking for feedback about drive ability on and off road as well as rubbing off-road with my current setup.

Thanks from Canada!

hi, i run a 235 75 15 setup on my 1997 sj80 zuk, and it fits perfectly, runs fine and wont break your bank with the fuel, you also wont need to do any other mods to it.
