So if i am looking at all the information correctly, the 33" tire option is only available on the Badlands. Please confirm for me. I think i have everything else figured out. Thanks in advance.

Yep, and 33's seem to be the sweet spot for performance and appearance to me. Too bad other trims (except Base) get 32's (w/o Sas), funny how much difference that 1/2" in radius makes.

In person, the 265/70 looked better than I expected. 285/70 is still just about perfect to me.

I have no interest in the Goodyear Tire. Prefer the BFG, which i have on my Raptor as well. Thank you ZackDanger for specific tire brands/models. I agree with everyone else the 33" tire fits just right. Happy ordering everyone!

If I upgrade to 33's I'll go 255 80 x 17 BB or Base, but I know most folks like a wider tire. My F250 has 285/70 x 18 and while they look right on the F250, they seem large to me for a Bronco

With the dimensions of the new Bronco, more manufacturers should offer 34x10.5/17. Its only available in BFG KO2, which means availability is scarce and cost is high. Their tire has a D load rating and actual measurement is listed at 33.5”. Fits standard BB and BD rims.

I put these on my Jeep once.... saying they’re actually 33.5 is generous... they were right around 33, and rounding down maybe even a tick under. It was disappointing.

I’m currently running 285/75r17... which is a 34”... but tires in those sizes are also limited, especially in the lower ratings.

I’m hoping we see more 34s come to market in the C or D range considering the shift towards off-roading desires and esthetics.

Good choice. These Coopers are also similar and pretty solid. I think a lot of folks are underestimating how crappy the ride will be day to day with 500lbs of armor and 60lb E-Rated tires. My truck has E rated hankooks and they are solid in the dirt but man are they stiff. Looking forward to getting back to a softer ride day-to-day.
