I just had some BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 215/75/15 fitted on my 2019 SZ4. The look is great, but what tyre pressure should I have? The ride is certainly different to the stock tyres and I just wondered what everyone was using as this is a popular tyre upgrade?
I don't have those tyres butit is reasonable to say that given their construction starting at the factory pressure and going down is the way forward. It is possible to use the max load and pressure written on the side to calculate the pressure needed for a given axle weight. I'm currently lambing a sheep so will comment more later .

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

Just something you need to be aware of from experience when I changed my Gen3 stock tyres to General Grabber AT2 it altered the gearing making the Speedo slightly out. basically by using the sat nav it had lost the 10% . Somebody here with a lot more knowledge will be able to calculate what the gain and losses are with tyres..

I been on 215 ko2's for a while and found them great.....
The added unsprung weight and increased drag are the only negatives for me.
They have adjusted my speedo reading and it's spot on with roadside cameras.

Amazing in snow and have never let me down off road, always plenty of grip. Others driving a variety of mud tyres have passed comment.
Run my tyres at 24 psi all round, sidewalls are stiff enough at that to allow fast B road driving. Off road, take your choice, read about a guy who's compressor developed at fault and couldn't better13psi. He drove off road for three days in Australia before he could find compressed air. No tyre problems at all.
I have a 2019 JX (basic configuration). It os ready to its first change of tyres and I would like to upgrade the original 195/80/R15s for 215/75/R15 BFG T/A KO2s. I have read that they fit without changing the suspension, but can’t find info on whether they fit on the stock 5.5Jx15 ET5 rims. If someone could share their experience just to make sure, I would truly appreciate.
