hi ian
you want 205 /70 /15 AT's or MT's i use colway 205/70/15 MT's on and they performe very well off road . But for normal use as you said AT's would be better they do these as well . try tyres direct set of 4 is £167 all in.
ps hope this helps , if you look in my gallery you will see standard jimnys are not bad off road. :D

My mate just fitted camac terra they are a new tyre not a remould and are cheap and look great.  His mpg has gone down a bit but it seems to grip well on the lanes.  Got them from a tyre place in Dewsbury, can't remember the name, if you make the pub meet ask Poorman as he knows the owner.

Camac Terras have been about for years but get mixed reports.  I have a friend, who's opinion I rate highly, that swears by them, but a number of friends who swear at them!

From personal experience on slightly larger 4x4s (Shogun, Trooper, LR etc.) I rate most of the main manufacturer offerings.  BF Goodrich and Goodyear being my two favourites in the AT space.

If you want to save money then a remould might make sense, but they don't last anything like as well as a first life tyre.

I meant new as in not remoulded.  But they are very cheap, as cheap as remoulds and the lad that fitted them drives rather quickly and is having no problems with them on his Jimny other than the slight mpg loss which presumably is down to them weighing more than the road tyres they replaced.
