Thanks for the driving impressions, TroutBronc. I will post mine hopefully within a month or so.
Here are my General Grabber ATX 275/70/18's . . . waiting on my Bronco OBX that was sitting in Ice Mountain since late January. Fortunately I received the update this week that the modules have...
A thought loop here that many of you may have already considered:
Ford needs to appease stock holders and reports on quarterly basis.
Last quarter did not end well: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-sinks-shortages-commodity-costs-121140356.html
There is shortage of chips in Ford's hands to...
Understand completely. It's like bringing your own drinks to a restaurant.
My dealer in Virginia is making an exception to install the tires even though it is "customer supplied".
I am actually having it installed right at the dealer after delivery. So I am renting a Home depot truck/van for a couple hours to drop off these tires at the dealer once the Bronco is in transit from MAP.
So my question will be will the five 255/70-18 OEM donuts fit in my Bronco. :)
Kene, yes I am sticking with the OEM 18" wheels. I will drive this set of tires/wheel combo for a few while and reassess for any lift/wheel/tire changes.
This thread also helped me a lot with the OBX tire/wheel combo.

I am ordering a set of GENERAL GRABBER A/TX 275/70 R18 for dealer to install also!
What a great way to start the new year!
I just read your thread here and I am so glad you are enjoying your rig. It is a wonderful build and color. (I am now a MY22 build and AMB was my color choice.) Even without AMB option, I am not jealous because I will enjoy my rig just as you are. Many more years of fun to you with your...
Thanks for these Iconic Sliver posts. This is my color and build as of this week. I had spec'd out an OBX with AMB for MY21 but was pushed to an early MY22 build.
MY2022 OBX Adv, 2.7L, Navy Pier, MIC
Congrats! Glad for you and I do believe it will be worth the wait. I am jealous because AMB was my color but I am an early MY22 build since I reserved on day five.
I agree YTFORD. I plan to order the GENERAL GRABBER A/TX at the 275/70R18 size within a few months after when my OBX arrives. That beefy look along with being a real 33" tire should work. Got to remember to order five tires though.
Thanks for sharing! This is for sure the most detailed look of OBX Navy cloth. I am switching to this from roast cloth. My OBX is AMB and the Navy/Gray look seems to match better than the roast/copper/brown.
Here's the summary of the exchange from my dealer, who's been awesome BTW.
As I am #8 in line, with MIC and everyone in front of me is MIC, the June 25th letter does not affect my place in line.
Now with more deliveries with softtops direct to dealers, that may slow down deliveries of MIC...
The medium sized Ford Dealer local to me normally has 40-50 F-150's in stock. As of this weekend, they were down to 15. I just happened to check because I wanted to see AMB on any Ford vehicle (again!)
