She chose to buy one 4WD Suzuki “Jimny”

Ms. “Misa” decided to switch from a regular car to a kei-car, and since she wanted 4WD, she chose the Suzuki “Jimny” as her first choice. One of the deciding factors in her decision to purchase her car was that it was equipped with Toyo Tires’ Open Country tires. Here is a look at the owner’s beloved car, who drives the Jimny herself at off-road driving events and also enjoys customizing it.

Love at first sight with Toyo Tires’ Open Country R/T

“When I went to the store to look at Jimny, the tires had already been changed to Toyo Tires’ Open Country tires. The store had replaced them at the time of sale and I thought they were cute, so I bought them. I also really liked the fact that the spare tire was mounted on the back of the car without a cover.”

Toyo Tire’s Open Country, which she liked at first sight, has a lineup to meet users’ needs, with a series for on-road, off-road, and both on-road and off-road use. It is also a popular tire in terms of design, with a relatively rugged tread pattern and a choice of white lettering.

Ms. “Misa”‘s Jimny wears the “Open Country R/T” model. It is a tire that combines off-road traction performance for enjoying the outdoors with on-road wear resistance and driving stability.

“I can drive both on-road and off-road, and I don’t mind. At any rate, the cutest thing about it is how pretty it looks.”

Since switching to the Suzuki Jimny, she says she has been able to go out and have fun in many different places. She has participated twice in the “Joshi-kai Adventure,” an off-line meeting for girls who love the open country, and also drives her car on an off-road course.

“I want to drive more off-road”

Her previous car was in stock condition, but after getting the Jimny, she painted the roof and installed bumpers in the front and rear. She also added custom metal plates to the front and rear of the car, which were made by an acquaintance.

“I want to drive off-road more. I have no problem driving off-road at events, but in the future, I want to focus on improving the performance of the car.”
