35x11.5R17 Tires (Nitto Ridge Grapplers) on Stock Badlands -- On and Off-Road Test

[Rumbloki]

So, these are basically the same size as the OEM Sasquatch tire, but about an inch narrower and heavier.

Would I expect about the same mpg on a Sasquatch equipped Bronco, or would I expect less due to the weight even though narrower?

I bet if you measure the tread, you won't find an inch difference between them. Doesn't GY run narrow. They are heavier because they have a tougher sidewall. 34.76" tall vs 34.4" for GY, if that matters.

Interesting question about whether Good year runs narrow. I have no clue on that personally.

I'm looking at either 285/75 r17 tires or the 35s you installed. I've already replaced my crash bars with the following "big tire" crash bars. https://www.extremeterrain.com/readylift-bronco-high-clearance-anti-intrustion-beams-67-21200.html

I'm pretty sure the 34" tires will work with these crash bars. Trying to determine if the 35s will also clear them.

I have 285/75r17 with crash bars still installed. Offset matters as well, mine is +35

Great post, thanks for the review. I actually just put these same tires on my stock Badlands on Tuesday with the 1 1/4 inch level lift from Readylift. No trimming and did not need to remove crash bars…the Tires look great and so far they feel good but I’ve only driven in torrential rain!

@Mayflower2010 I'm about to pull the trigger on 5 Wildpeak AT4W in 35x11.5r17 for my stock non-Sas Badlands. Do I need to purchase an extension or need to make any modifications to the spare tire carrier to fit these bigger tires? What did you do? Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in responding…i have not changed the spare yet…i do plan on doing it…this was expensive so I’m just pushing out the cost of the 5th tire for a few weeks…good luck!

Did you get them installed?

Not yet, they seem to be on backorder.

Falken makes that size. Great winter tire.

Here you go, a couple showing profile, poke, stance/width (it’s narrower and does great in snow) and one closer with the crash bars + mudflaps
