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.
Following are their contact details:
Jitesh Kapoor: +91 98114 45532
Email: bktyres@hotmail.com
Instagram: / bktyresindia
Jitesh also runs a KZbin channel on tyres. You can check it out here: / @tyreguruindia7347
BK Tyres address
Birbal Rd, behind Samara Honda Showroom, Block A, Lajpat Nagar I, A-108, New Delhi, Delhi 110024
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.

Any idea about the future implications of the added unladen weight due to the BFs and steel rims on mileage, longevity of the suspension components, etc. ? No one seems to talk about this. Stay safe my friend!

nice. however if u r not aware then..... bf goodrich rubbers are such, needs reasonably a good amount of kms on and off to use preferably a gravel terrain and when u drive on it, traction heats up the rubber and retain its softness so that in a long run the rubber doesnt become hard. this is how bfgr are maintained in jeeps by most of the jk enthusiasists. even in desert countries othen than dune drives, they take the jeeps with bfgr to water reservoirs where the gravel terrain is experienced. it may be too early to get a feel of it and my point is not as a thumb rule, but it has sense and impact when u drive a jeep with bfgr over a decade

Hey Abhinav,really missed the informative videos you put out,and excited for what's ahead. That being said,I've got some doubts and questions regarding the ride quality as of now,the fuel economy and the throttle response. as you have installed the KO2s which weigh around 25 kilos per tire and add to it the weight of the steelies(25 per wheel;; overall weight around 200 kilos);compared to the stock wheel setup on the thar which weighs in at around 96 kilos(17 kilos for each tire and 7 kilos for each wheel) you have added around 104 kilos to the unsprung mass of your car. From the reading that I did online,the more unsprung mass a car has,the bumpier the ride is,and since because weight has been added,obviously more strain on the engine,hence I believe a weaker throttle response and poorer fuel economy. It'd be great if you'd shed some light on these factors in one of your future videos and what you'd be doing to counter these negatives. well that's a long comment,hope you respond,cheers!!
@abhinavbhatt
@abhinavbhatt 3 жыл бұрын
I drove it today at 70-80 kmph to Gurgaon from Delhi on the nice expressway we have. The meter showed 18.1 kmpl average fuel economy. On my Patiala trip, I got 16ish. Again, meter reading. Now, the meter would be slightly off since the diameter of the tyre is bigger, but even if I get 12 in the city, it is fine. The tyre is not 25 kilos on its own. Maybe 16-17 kg. Yes, unsprung mass has gone up a lot, but I am running 26 PSI and there is night and day difference between the ride of the stock and this car. This is sure footed, planted, and a lot more confident to drive. The tyre has a very strong sidewall and so can run lower pressures with ease. I don't care about the throttle response (which has not been affected) - if I want a faster car, I have my petrol cars. And if I still want to go faster, I would be on my bikes. Cheers

There are still confusions about offsets . Positive. Zero. Negative... The rims you are running on now is not a negative rim.. it is a positive rim.. As the offset are calculated from the centre point of the rims width.. if the hub fitment comes at the centre which is at 4inch from both side it is Zero offset .... If it comes infront of the Centre it is positive and vice versa.... the rims you put on now have an offset of around 20mm from the centre point..... And it is a positive offset rims. If it was negative offset rims the wheel would've come out much more. Anyway nice video and good luck with the new setup....

Makes sense. Even i am waiting for my Thar. Will hopefully get it in 3-4 months and planning to get same tyre setup as yours. I was reading on team-bhp forum that a few people are having some rattling sound issues on the rear right side of their Thars which is due to the weight of stock tyres and alloys as they are on the heavier side. Now since you have upgraded your setup to an even heavier one, the probability of that might increase. Have you given any thoughts to it?

Steering doesn't wobble. Acceleration would be lower due to wider wheels and low tyre pressures.

7:47 correction: it gives you more stability on slanted terrains and better grip on rocky terrain as sides are equally important 12:10 to calcuate diameter of the tyre always use this formula : 2 X (75% of 265 * 0.03937) + 16 = 31.65 inches, so your tyre height is 31.65 inches, rest is just air, don't depend on air, height of tyre can be changed depending on pressure, to use a constant, remember the formula, you actually never use the height as a parameter when talking about tyres though due to the variance and high number of external factors
