The local garage topped up my neighbour's Jimny tyres to something around 32psi when it went in for a service.
As a result of that she almost took an unintentional excursion into the scenery.
What rattled her the most is that they did it not just the once but twice - even though she'd rebuked them for it the first time!
I think they've learned now
IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS

Interesting to see the metric Michelin TRX topic rear its head in the AT tyre world. 390 rims fitted to old Saab 900 and a few other exec saloons from the 1970's and 80's. They also fitted 340mm rims to take 160 section tyres to Citroen Visa GT models sold in the UK.
In the context of the time they were pretty good on sealed surfaces but not great in slippery conditions.
I can vouch for the notice on the tyre wall being correct. I tried popping an imperial diameter on a metric rim and the result was no chance of it fitting with a view of using it afterwards.
The reason for trying was the price of a metric tyre was about 5 or 10 times the price of an imperial tyre. Probably for the purist only and the performance has been overtaken by current technology and range of choice.

I would suggest that the information in that link is debatable. The Jimny is and has been fitted with Bridgestone duelers for many years not bfg so that information is either market specific or not from Suzuki?
