Best 33IN Tires???

[603BB]

I haven't seen them listed, but I hear the Falken Wildpeaks are an excellent tire.

This is what my local big chain store guy suggested. I was there preliminary pricing the BFG KO2 285s. He recommended them over BFG KO2.
I would be curious if anyone has a comparison opinion. In the end want an equivalent A/T tire that is best for highway (w/ occasional light trail) use.

I have falcon wild peaks and they wear fast I have 25,00 miles and they look worn bad, , my old tires were KO2 and got 50,00 miles on them and they had a lot left,

I don't think you would be disappointed in either of the Nitto tires or the KO2. If the Nitto, I'm partial to the Ridge Grapplers by a fair margin. They are great offroad except in sticky, slick mud. They tend to load and not clear. Either of the Nitto are great street tires, but the Ridge gets the nod for longevity. That said, I'm partial to the KO2 as it makes a better winter tire, has better performance offroad in slick conditions, is very durable onroad, and is hard to beat for a tire that you want to do everything and do it well. As far as the other tires mentioned, I haven't used them so have no firsthand experience or opinion.

I haven't seen them listed, but I hear the Fallen Wildpeaks are an excellent tire.

Unfortunately the Falkens are heavier than the competition in most sizes.

I bought a BD with steel wheels, came with 32" General Grabers, C rated.

I upgraded to 33" BFG K02, E rated because I want the extra sidewall strength for offroading.

Totally pleased, on pavement the K02s run queit and roll just like a street tire. I have 50 psi in them, and will air down to 32 for offroad.

50PSI? That must be one heavy Bronco.

The E rated tires have a max 80 psi. Thanks to the 50 pressure, I get 19.5 mpg,......

50psi is a weight rating of 2755lbs per tire. Like I said, you must have one heavy Bronco to need that much pressure.
My E rated tires run every day at 31psi and I just put gas in when it gets low. Couldn’t tell you what the MPG is and don’t care. Rides great
E rated tires get a bad rap mostly due to excessive pressure when not needed.

Mine are at 31 cold, they’ll climb up to 36 when they heat up, but that’s about the sweet spot from what I can tell.

Yeah, mine usually heat up to 34-35psi.

I got this tire.

I have Toyo Open Country RTs on my f250. I like them, they're not nearly as loud as the Nitto Trail Grapplers I have on the Bronco. It’s about halfway between an all terrain and a mud terrain. The Nitto Ridge Grapplers are nice too If you want something good off road, but don’t want a noisy mud tire. You can’t really go wrong with any of the tires you mentioned in the op.

That caught my eye also.
My C rated 35 x 11.5 Toyos run at 33-ish for the street.
Tire shop set them at 50 .... damn near needed a kidney transplant!

PSI when the TPMS sensor goes off?

The 33" KO2s that come on BL are a solid choice, they're quiet and a good all around performer.

I compromised with a D rated tire when I upgraded. Not quite as heavy as E but a little tougher than C.
