I have a 2002 Jimny with a 2" OME lift with stock rims (15x5.5).
Just after opinions/advice on tyre size that will suit with no further mods? I'm looking at 215/75R15
Also suggested brands would be good for A/T's.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a 750-16 or 800-16 tyre with aggressive tread but not a billion ply sidewall?

Pretty sure Federal Couragias are 8 ply.
My 31's are 6 ply and very flexible.
Link site dont show ply for the 235/85 but all the 16's list 8

8ply is common in 235 85's as they are often used on full size pickups in the US where load rating is critical.

How about the MP Trekker

8pr 113/112L

Edit- just realized you were after bias, the mp is radial.

you can get a 255/85-16 (33 x 10 x 16) with a load rating of 104 which is about the same as a 6 ply

What does a 265/70R15 work out to be in metric? Just got quoted $220/tyre for the silver stone extremes in that size.

Guys, my current bighorns in a 31x10.5x15 are getting a little thin. Would the up grade to the 32x11.5x15 be worth it? Not sure on the price difference, looking more at capability wise.
