My Mahindra Thar Gets BF Goodrich KO2 265/75 R16 Tyres And Steel Rims: Cost, Installation Explained

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- 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:

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.
At this point I think we all can call Jaideep as My good friend Jaideep from Patiala.
I live in patiala also can I have Jaideep no
😂😂
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.
Congrats for having new set of wheels
Thanks
@@abhinavbhattmention your rims offset... kindly
can i find BFG for my Toyota fortuner at his shop this month?
You'll have to call him to check
How's Jaideep's Thar? What all modifications has he done?
Nothing so far. He is busy with another project.
@@abhinavbhatt Hey, thanks for updating. Great videos, make more!
Thanks
Do You feel any changes in braking ???
Better
We want jaydeep in your videos.
Bf goodrich 31/10.5/15 avalable
Price
I can find one of them here
In pune...
Why not 18 inches ???
Wanted a tall sidewall.
@@abhinavbhatt make review video sir on the thar about how it works on daily basis what is different with the new tires in comparison to the old ones what changed what not
Ok
the mask tho.. .
Our no-nonsense, information rich TH-camr is back. Thanks mahn.
:)
@@abhinavbhatt this emogi was made by a pc
@@abhinavbhatt can i instal this rims at my Hyundai venue turbo variant???
That's a very bad idea.
0:42 - 0:50 *Abhinav it's high time man! Please invest in good quality Collar mike like RODE WIRELESS GO ! atleast 2 reqd. for you* ✌🏽
I have mics. I was feeling too lazy to use them.
@@abhinavbhatt *ten brownie points for classic biker moves there....* 😛🍩
25 kilos each rim, 125kg increase in weight, that is a lot.
It is not additional 25kilos per rim. The car already came with wheels which had atleast 15-20kgs of weight. So it's not much of an additional weight. Should be around plus 40kgs max.
@@simbaborah Right, I should have accounted that!
@@kotimoto yeah i think the thar can easily take that much additional weight. But it will surely take a toll on mileage.
I was waiting for this mod and the grill upgrade since you taken the delivery of thar.
Grill getting updated tomorrow. I'll get the car back Friday.
@@abhinavbhatt 👍🏻 waiting for the video.
@@abhinavbhatt also the bumpers please.. the stock is really stock..
Waiting for Prad to deliver.
Some how I managed to buy brand new Arivo MT 33inch (285/75 r16)
They made steering damm heavy, I must say best tyre size is 31 inch (265/75 r16).
Please buy a mic brother! The voice is not at all audible.We definitely wanna hear what you guys speak.
I have multiple mics. I am just too lazy to use them. I shot this on a phone without any preparations.
Hey it’s totally fine! Love ur content though! Looking forward to see ur yamaha r15 v3 project
The guy sounds like an infomercial
Abhinav lost it when tyre dealer said thar is nothing without Goodrich tyres😂
haha
It looks cool 🔥. Do a side dump exhaust 😂😂
Naah. Understated, always.
@@abhinavbhatt yeah true
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
Cool. Did not know.
@@abhinavbhatt stay blessed!
How did you get bfs that cheap? That a good deal
I like your videos. Thank you for speaking in English.
Sir you need improvement in sound quality it's not very focus
I can hear sounds from all around
Hi Abhinav! Have been a fan of your channel and content for ages! Congrats on the new Thar! it looks absolutely rad! If I had a choice, I would get the exact same colour too!
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!
Hi. Thank you for the kind words. I will have to look into beefing up the suspension since I'm adding more weight to it soon. Let's see what comes out.
Can I put these Goodrich tears in my Hercules cycle??? I am not rich like you to buy thar.. ???? Please pin this comment.
Good that you follow your boss man unlike those villagers who put up just for display ..
We all need a friend like Jaideep. Both the videos were good. Learnt a lot and gained lots of important information. Cheers!
Bhai now the rate is double .
Today we have ask him .
much diff just double .
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!!
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
@@abhinavbhatt Isee,thanks a lot for explaining it in detail,and can't wait for some overlanding videos on this bad boy!!
thar is ❤️
Great video Abhinav. Just a few questions as usual :)
Since you are not going to do hardcore off-roading, wouldn't the 16' diamond cut Mahindra Accessories alloy be a good option? Also, would you know if these BF KOs will fit in those. Thanks
They look run of the mill alloys. I may anyway upgrade to Method or Fuel or some other nicer brand later.
I am not sure if these tyres would fit those rims.
@@abhinavbhatt Always quick to respond. Thank You 🙏
Cheers
I what ne sets of tyres KO2
Can u make me available for me
very tastefully done.
The tyres and rims look awesome. 👍
The only issue I see is splashing muck and water on the side body, and more importantly at traffic behind the vehicle. I'd have used a size which is contained in the wheel arch. 😁
Hi sir can you tell me is there any different in rotating mass after rim+tyre swap .
And it's a awesome build 😎😎
There definitely is an increase but I don't feel it while driving.
0:07 Abhinav bhaiya trained us like..... Hi i am abhinav, i am at speed monks.....
Please share Jaideep Number and location
Hi! Abhinav you're gaining weight I guess 😁 nice video informative as always. 👍
Post covid recovery weight
Bro your car looks rugged now with bfgs
Please lets us know if there is millage drop after tyre changing
Once I drive it enough to be able to tell the difference.
M using 275 70 r16 with fuel vector 8J +20 offset ,, my alloys r really nice but As I want little more offset,, m looking for these steel rims ,, I know it’s weard that why I got that alloys but may be steel rims work with looks I want -20 offset ,, again worried about ride quality
Man mine taste is exactly like you
Gr8 content brother . Waiting for the BFGs review.
Will do.
Are you planning to install a roof rack or roof lights
No. I don't like the look. Even though this bloody useless car has no space for luggage inside.
Bk tyres is legit the best shop ever. Bought tires for most of my cars from there.. super professional and super courteous
Yeah. Quite professional.
Os ir posible to do this from showroom
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....
Your That is Looking good with BFG tyres👌
Thanks
The only problem in thar diesel is you cannot go on high speed like other cars on touring you need to watch out all the time, there is no confidence....couldn't cruise on 140/145/150...
Only 22k for 5 alloys , isn't it very low
It is made up of steel therefore cheaper.
Bf Goodrich price
98% of ppl. who are buying or going to buy thar are not gonna take it where these tyres are ment for...
i dont know why ppl. spend money on such useless modification when they aren't gonna even use them...
i mean yes its their money and all...
anyway...
just dont want to speak more ..
Really nice decision to take those tyres 😍
I own mahindra Scorpio slx crde 2.6l turbo
I have 235/70R16 bfgoodrich KO A/T
I want to upsize my tyre
Which size I should go for
I'm thinking of it,but I live in chennai,need to chk whether anyone has these Tyres nd rims, if not I have to drive or request them to send me those Tyres nd rims...please advise..
Hello who are you 🤦🤦🤦????
I think you should help wildlife researchers, you should offer to help them get around , you'll get to ride roads and trails nobody else will have access to
28k? lol!
I AM FAST AS FU*CK BOI
Is braking power reduced or same after this big tyres.
No one is talking about lifting kit for Thar, is there any in the market ? Hope u will be installing one for urs
I am waiting for someone to make one that is reliable. Don't want to be the guinea pig.
Tyres prices bro

I don't know. I used to get about 11-13 with these tyres
Just called BK tyers and he said no BFs available. Y give wrong info.🔥

Abhinav can you make a video on the way2speed booster plug for the interceptor
Hello friend do you deal in BF goodrich Mud Terrain tyres.?
Tyres Price ?
Stock Tyres Exchange Value ?
Abhinav can you give an honest feedback of high way ride ? well I don't expect confort of a sedan. but I want know whether you get fatigue after driving some 500-600 km a day
I don't like it on the highway.
Alloy wheel
8J rim is 203mm wide.How can a 265mm wide tyre fit?
Jeff bezoz
With this setup the thar is going to drink on fuel like a very thirsty camel.
Hey buddy amazing info , sir could you also share if after this modification there is any difference in ride quality because I want the same modifications
what's the steel rim company name? where can i order one?
Love the mod!! Why dont you change the front bumpers?
what company are those steel rims and who is the dealer sir
Yaack...stock alloys were much better...and a spare wheel of old date and poor look tyre....super wastage
Ur taste is too bad.
thanks
hey man, a youtuber named "125KPH" did the whole S&S big bore 865 kit for the interceptor.
man he did the whole pakage with the exhaust, cam, clutch and all. u should check him out
Cool
Hey can you update on the R15 v3 build? 😅
How much for they gonna sell the stock Thar rim??
Abhinav bro Big fan from Kerala
Please change Thar Front grill try wrangler type grill and front bumper
Yeah. I am waiting for them to get ready.
Atleast someone had the common sense to ditch the ridiculous 18” poser tyre combo.
Daleo tusi usa canada ja england ch aa dale hindi me or punjabi me batte kro
Possible to put bfgoodrich in creta ?
285/60R18 is not touching the bumper i am using… why your small size is touching the bumper?
Offset wheels.
Does the steering wobble at higher speeds and does it slow the vehicle down? Please answer bhot duvidha mae hun bhaiya
Steering doesn't wobble. Acceleration would be lower due to wider wheels and low tyre pressures.
Perfectly Explained the Exchange Tyre Price
Tyres and wheels impressive but I don't like how the wheels now protrude beyond the wheel arches. Have you thought about getting modified extended wheel arches fitted?
Naah. I wanted them to protrude just a little.
I think you should've gone with the glossy rims....also, he has actually fooled you. I got the same rims for 18000
From where?
