Re:Tyre pressure for road use - Gen4 rims with BFG AT 215x75Rx15
Anybody running BF Goodrich 215x75xR15 tyres on the original Gen4 rims (5.5 inch)? I'm experimenting with what pressure to run my tyres on here in Oman (hot tarmac) and would welcome suggestions.
Also wondering if there's any fouling issue fitting 7" steel rims?
With a bigger heavier constructed tyre like the bfg you don't really want any more than the factory 26psi. It is possible to work out the pressure for a given load from the maximum inflation information on the sidewall of the tyre in conjunction with the axle weights on the vin tag. But broadly speaking something like 23 or 24 psi will be about right. Does yours have the tpms system because it will need recalibratiing if you do run below factory pressure.

Do you know how to recalibrate? I'm running 215/75/15 and reckon the correct pressure unladen would be 25psi. However that is right on the edge for the threshold which I believe is 25psi. Especially when colder the warning light comes on. So currently running at 26psi however still in a cold morning the warning light is on. I would like to change the threshold if possible to 21. Can you?
Not personally but I believe can be done by a dealer. I'm sure someone who has a gen4 will be able to offer edification.

Question submitted to Suzuki technical support on resetting TPMS threshold and also multiple wheel set configurations swapping (summer/winter tyres).
