What Are The Narrowest! Tyres I Can Fit To My SJ410 Please?
Just like the look of narrower tyres for my SJ410 commercial van, plus I never off road.
The wheels are the original OEM 15" x 5 1/2" J.
I have 195 70 15's on at the minute but could use new set for MOT.
Thanks in advance!
Mike

195/80/15 is the standard tyre, so if you like the tall skinny look then I'd suggest getting 195/80s as opposed to 195/70.
I doubt you'll find many, if any, skinnier tyres with a 70-80 wall.

OK, Cheers for the info Edweird!
I'm going for a stock LJ80 kind of look!

That's a beautiful looking truck. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the LJs were also fitted with 195/80 R15s

Very nice 410 there! Good to see a straight one sometimes. I have been planning some narrower tyres for my standard wheels and found some Yokohamas 195/80/15 - some guys on a US Subaru forum were raving about them as winter / light off-roaders. I currently have weller offset wheels (7J compared to std 5 1/2J) with 215s on but I've had practical experience of narrower working better on snow etc.
I'd be keen to see how yours look if you get some (on the SJ I mean). I'll be a while sorting mine due to wheels need restoring and cash... around £320 for 5 Yokohamas, but not found any decent tyres cheaper anyway, and there aren't many making 195/80s so few choices.

my wagon has 6.00/16 tyres. they are 6" wide, and about 29" tall. they have the classic skinny look. this however is an old size, so might be really hard to find too
