32" tires: 265/75/16 (32s) BFG KO2 on Base 2 Door

[GPPBronco]

I applaud you for restraining yourself and getting a tire size that actually compliments the bronco. Nobody wants to see another bronco that looks like this:

Tossed on some meats today, shout out to Americas Tire who did an excellent job with great service. Was thinking also 285/75/16 and 255/85/16 tires but decided to go in between and love the way it turned out. Driving feel is overall slightly more sluggish (best I can describe) than the original 255/70 all seasons but nothing crazy. Will be looking into getting the speedometer re-calibrated, so if anyone has any suggestions on where to go for this please let me know.

Looks great. Exactly what I did, except I opted for Falken ATW3s for the weight savings. Long live steelies!!!

 

[andrusoid]

Yes, AT and has the full winter rating. Only 44 lbs. each to keep the rotating weight down. I have gotten 24+ miles per gallon for extended periods on the freeway running premium.

These look great! I went with the 285/75/16 on my steelies, but debated a long time before I decided not to go with 265's. You're definitely getting better mileage than I am. My tires are quite a bit heavier than that

Yeah, but they are FAAAAT! bro. Definitely 20 more millimeters of badness there.

Not to mention, taller. My 265s are 31.5"

Yeah, mine are basically 33" tall, I like the extra ground clearance it gives me

Is this lifted at all or is yours bone stock? Mine is super bare stock and I’m curious how big I can go without a lift…

Bone stock, no lift. There are some threads here with guys putting on 35s with no lift, so there is a lot of room to play with.

I love that thing!

 

[Hey Buddy]

Here is mine waiting to get a 'Recall' done at the dealership!

 

[andrusoid]

Whoops! Nope. Should have note 265/75/16 for a 31.5" diameter.

Great looking Bronco. I did exactly the same tire install last week and added stainless trim rings for just a little different look.

This looks awesome Larry!! Hope you don’t mind if I do this with my base 2 dr Oxford White, Lol

 

[Brennan]

Thanks for the tip! I just put the same ones on my new 4dr base, 275/65/r16 KO2's.

Thrilled with the outcome, check it out!
