Can't say I've ever noticed an undue amount of sidewall flex with them at 21psi and on the limit they transition into a slide nice and progressively. They get a bit wobbly below 15psi though.

I found tyre side wall sway with lower pressure when doing tight turns on road, giving a rear end slide feeling. 28/30 gives a firmer feel on roundabouts & turns also reduced road noise.
That's going to be fine for a much heavier vehicle than a Jimny. I think from memory that one of the transporter syncro vans used a similar size which would be right for 30 psi.

The Jimny uses 15" rims. This has nothing to do with tyre pressures.

15 inch rims are 380mm in Metric,
However be careful, there are Metric 390mm rims out there and these are the 15.5 inch they are warning about on the tyre side wall!

Not long ago, some one posted official tyre pressures for BFG KO2 215 75 15 at 28/30 psi for a Gen4 Jimny .
What ever 15.x5 means??? But its written on the tyre.
I'm trying to learn from this site but the same questions that crop up seem to end with different answers.

Yes it's handy to know if you are considering fitting some mud terrains to a 1980s Ferrari. It's not an issue any Jimny owner is ever going to come across though.
