- When I got my new Mahindra Thar, I knew exactly what I wanted it to look like and a certain tyre/wheel idea was always in the back of my mind.
Worldwide, the BF Goodrich KO2 is considered to be the go to All Terrain tyre for 4x4s. And the choice was pretty much sealed when my friend Jaideep got the same set up back in February.
Little did I know that immediately after, any stock of this tyre would completely get exhausted in the country.
Luckily for me, Jitesh Kapoor from BK Tyres - the first dealers for BFGoodrich in India - had three tyres with him.
Now, due to the tyre import restrictions, and no new tyres in this size coming any time soon, I dialled up Jaideep and took his spare tyre.
And so, I had four tyres.
For the fifth tyre, I am using some Hankook 275/70 R16 tyre, that I intend to replace as soon as fresh BFG stock comes.
If you want any car/SUV tyre in the Delhi-NCR region, chances are you will find them at BK Tyres in Lajpat Nagar.

And now, the price break up:
Cost of 1 BFG KO2 265/75 R16: Rs 13,000
Cost of 5 BFG KO2 tyres: Rs 65,000
Cost of 5 steel rims 8J 16R: Rs 27,500
Cost of wheels and tyres: Rs 92,500
Value of your new tyres and wheels if you trade them in: Rs 50,000
Effective cost for the swap: Rs 42,500
My tyres had done about 3,000 km, so the value I was offered was Rs 39,500
Thank you so much for giving me your time. I hope you have a nice day.
At this point I think we all can call Jaideep as My good friend Jaideep from Patiala.
Our no-nonsense, information rich RUclipsr is back. Thanks mahn.
We all need a friend like Jaideep. Both the videos were good. Learnt a lot and gained lots of important information. Cheers!
Could you review the BF Goodrich tyres after using them for 3-4k kms? Has the handling and ride quality improved when compared to stock tyres? I am requesting for on and off road feedback.

Hello abhinav, what would be the best steel wheels (matt black) for the upcoming jimny that could go with 215/75/r15 bf goodrich.
Hey Abhinav,
The tyres and rims look awesome. 👍
Abhinav can you make a video on the way2speed booster plug for the interceptor
And what about engine performance after this change ofroad did u experience n e differences of tht sort like u pushing kinda feeling when driving like on normal road ???
What is the reason behind using -30 offset wheels? My understanding is that wider track of a vehicle is better for center of gravity, which allows for more load(eg. tent) on top of the car. Is my understanding correct? Are there any other advantages of a wider track?
How much for they gonna sell the stock Thar rim??
Is there any improvement in ride quality afterinstalling 16 inch rims and big tyres or does it require aftermarket shocker also to improve the comfort?
What was the Tyre size 31 or 35
Really nice decision to take those tyres 😍
