34X10.5 tires on BD Steel Wheels (w/ 2" OME lift)?

[redone17]

So far that's it. I'd prefer a more open tread pattern than the Recon, but I guess it's not too bad. The good thing is almost every review for that specific tire is good. I'd guess most people buying it are using it and not just getting it for looks and definitely not price. The early reviews on it were mostly Jeep Gladiators as it worked with a moderate lift and factory wheel, much like the Bronco. They all seemed pleased with it. Several people here on B6G have them and are positive about them.

My biggest problem now is I want to change, but I still have half the tread life on my current 35s. This will be the 3rd set of tires I've bought in 40K miles and I'd just like to get a few more miles out of the current tires.

Right on. That’s what I thought. I have another 20-30k on my AT3s to decide. I’d really like to go 37, but concerned about gearing. I guess we’ll see where I’m at financially in two years…

For 2 door, 34s are excellent.

For the 4 door, I'd want 35s.

I like the way my BD is set up with 1" of lift and 33's. That pretty much eliminated dragging the skid plates on our Midwest woods trails. That being said, when the Bronco is no longer my daily driver and work truck it will be time for a locker in front, 4.83 gears and 35's. But right now I have a good compromise between streetability and off road capability.

I like my 33s as well, I'd be down with skinny 34s too, to give just a hair more room.

I have 34's (285/75 Toyo AT3's) on my BD alloys. 34's IMO looked great on the stock suspension. I ran the tires a few months before adding the OME lift. I am very happy with the handling and the way the Bronco currently looks. However, had I done the two at the same time, I would have strongly considered 35x11.5 tires.

2024 Black Diamond with 34x10.5R17 KO2’s on Method 705 +35. Stock suspension for now. The tires are advertised as 34 inches but the specs show 33.5 inches.

No shit. Falken now make a 37x11.5 E for their R/T at 75.6 lbs. That might be my next tire w/alloy wheels to lose a little weight off the steelies. I’d prefer a D rating, but I can’t see myself ever mounting Nitto on my truck. They just scream BRO MOBILE to me.

Looks like they only have them in a 20" wheel.
