Pic of my OBX with the 275/65/18 Wildpeaks. Local dealer gave me a good price on these so I used my FordPass points towards them.

Just swapped to the same size this week. Just in time for a big snow storm up here in Canada!

Upstate NY right now, first time with in real snow with stock OBX. Boy do these Bridgestone tires seem horrible in the snow. I knew they weren’t going to be great by any means, but they are horrendously bad to a point where I was legitimately confused how it was possible on a vehicle like this.

i was going to run the tread down first before upgrading tires because the Look doesn’t really bother me, but these don’t seem passable in the Northeast. Thinking of upgrading and now looking at the General Grabber A/TX 275/70/18. How do people like those in snow?

Those of you that did this upgrade - did you change out your tailgate bumpstops? Mine are really smooshed looking and I know they should be tight into the tire, and even indent it a bit, but it looks a bit excessive. Or is it okay?

I was also wondering if you bothered to update with Forscan to the new tire size. Going from 255/70 to 285/70 I notice 1/2-1 MPH difference from speedo to GPS so is it even really necessary?

Before/After pic. Absolutely the best upgrade and I am soooo happy with the overall stance & appearance now.
