On a jimny can I have 215/75 /15 on one axle and a slightly different size on the other
These other two just say 195/ r15. So the aspect ratio may be different meanin they might run at different speeds and transfer box might not like it in 4wheel drive mode??

Re: Mixing tyre sizes
No you cannot run different size tyres on the front and the back,
As you say, it will wind up the transfer box and screw it up. Probably blow it up!
You could do it on a *ahem* land rover as it has a centre diff

Re: Mixing tyre sizes
Well these other tyres just say 195 r15 so they dont say anything about the sidewall
I'l have to measure the diameter and see if it's different.
