Modified Maruti Suzuki Jimny is what all of us saw coming. It would be wrong to say that none of us expected to see Maruti Suzuki Jimny in numerous modified versions with some being just a mall crawler, whereas some taking the more practical route to excel off the road. As heard from reliable sources, tuning houses in India has already started stocking G-Wagen kits for the Jimny, while tyre sellers are stocking up on R15 AT rubbers. Interestingly, the latter is turning out to be the first step to the modification route by owners. Well, we recently came across a Maruti Suzuki Jimny that now rides on a set of AT tyres.
As can be seen in the pictures, the Jimny looks tasteful with chunky AT rubber. These tyres are Continental Conti Cross AT. Also, it should be noted that the Jimny seen here is the top-spec Alpha AT trim, which comes with alloy wheels from the factory. However, the owner has swapped them with steelies. Well, these appear to be 235-section tyres. They look good on the Jimny, nonetheless. In addition, the owner has also installed a couple of accessories from the dealership itself, like door visors, fender trims, ORVM trim and more.
