Nice...The AT BFG are so much better than your yokohama geolandar, I had them a long time ago too. This will be a big difference while doing some 4wd and they are good on the road and last very long (my AT BFG, smaller in size lasted more than 80000kms)

And they will give an good extra lift....

Happy io

 Thanks Claude

I can't wait for Saterday. We are having a fun event and My wife will test them and i'll beg her for a spin in her iOcheeky. With those size tyres fitted it gained 25mm under the rear diff centre. 20mm spacers fitted to front, so a gain of 45mm under front cross member. There is some rub on full turn forward but nothing in reverseblush

I am running them @ 30.5psi, what is your thoughts? I will post some pics on Sunday!

Too high - the recommended pressure for OE size tires is 26 psi, you've gone up in tire size, the optimum pressure is ether close to 26 or a little lower.

Get some chalk and find a smooth quiet road - make a chalk mark the full width of the tread, drive in a straight line for a short distance ad the examine the chalk mark - if it rubs off more in the center drop the pressure until it rubs off evenly.

Too High?

Too High?

I had them at 34.8psi and i thought that was to high!

Maybe i will try them on 27.5psi and see what happens and how it feels.

When offroading in sand i will go down to 11.5 psi and rocky terrain 20.5 psi
