First of all, BFG does not make an All Terrain T/A KO2 in size 285/75R17. Do you mean the LT285/75R17 121/118S Load Range E tire perhaps?
Second, are you putting these on an LC200 or an LX570?

Yes that’s the tire on a LC200. Thanks!

The RCTIP for the LT285/75R17 121/118S Load Range E BFG AT T/A KO2 tires on your LC200 is 37psi F/R.

I read all the pages, I may have missed it but how about an LX 570 on Sumitomo Encouter H/T 275/60r/20 115H SL? https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire...76HR0EHT&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes
Thanks!

Great question - thanks for supplying all the necessary info!
The RCTIP for the Sumitomo Encounter HT 275/60R20 SL 115H Product Code EHT15 tires on your LX570 is 30psi F/R.

Wow! Much lower than I have been running or would have guessed. Not good for my hydroplane threshold speed but I’m going to try 30psi. Thank you.
EDIT: Truthfully I thought @gaijin ‘s suggested 30PSI was nuts but he’s using science/engineering/math and is well respected here so I tried it.
1) I had not attempted less than 34psi cold. These tires are 51psi max and I tried as high as 45psi.
2) As much as I love the LX I was never more than marginally satisfied with the on-road chassis performance. The ride was obviously pretty good but a touch jiggly and the back end felt a bit odd. My 4Runner had a similar but less pronounced rear end oddness(slight difference right vs left turns. I know, it’s the way the live axle is mounted). Soft, normal and sport modes all helped at different times but something was still less than great.
With that as the background I just went for a ride to include backroads and about six miles of interstate. My desire to flip back and forth between normal and soft is gone. It finally drives like I had hoped it would when I was dreaming of buying an LX. The rear-end oddness is reduced too. I reset my mpg meter and on my quick loop it surprisingly returned a value easily within a tenth of what I would have expected at 37psi. I’m completely sold...
Once again math works. Thanks again gaigin for the huge improvement in my rigs driving dynamics.

@gaijin 2013 LX 570 with Rock Warriors running LT285/70R17 Load Range E BFG A/T T/A KO2 ? Currently running 41-42psi with just driver and minimal gear.
Once the base value is determined is there an incremental increase I can use as load weight increases, e.g., daily unloaded is probably 300lbs with driver and minor gear. If load increases to 500, then 1000, what would be the suggested change, if any?
Thanks for your expertise and time.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that @gaijin will say "For any LT285/70R17 on your 2013 LX570, the Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure is 35psi F/R".
But only because he's said it several times before in this thread.
I’d appreciate a recommendation for the Goodyear LT285/65R-18 Wrangler All-terrain Adventire with Kevlar Pro-grade E on a 2016 LX 570.

Those tires are LT285/60R18 - take a look on the sidewall of the tire.
The RCTIP for the LT285/60R18 BFG KO2 tires on your 2019 LC is 46psi F/R.

Well... No.
I searched and found you are talking about a Bridgestone Blizzak DM V2 in ISO-Metric size 265/70R18 with a Load Index of 116.
Now all I need is the vehicle you're putting it on - LC200 or LX570? Nothing in your post and no sig to help me out. My service does not include searching through all your old posts to determine which vehicle you have. Let me know which, please?

No problem.
The RCTIP for the Bridgestone Blizzak DM V2 tires in ISO-Metric size 265/70R18 with a Load Index of 116 on your 2016 LC200 is 33psi F/R.
