Best AT tire replacement for Sasquatch?

[Allenkoz]

Hello fellow Bronco brethren, I just ordered my Outer Banks w/sasquatch pkg. During the test drive I found the stock Goodyear Territory MTs to be bouncy and more uncomfortable than I will be able to stomach for daily driving. Question, what are the best riding AT tires that I should consider as a replacement for highways and paved country roads, with occasional gravel and rare offroad? Good performance in rain and snow are important as well while not sacrificing the rugged look. Thank you in advance for your advice and opinions!

Air them down, the dealer probably set them at 48 lbs. They’re actually a good tire for what you stated. Unless you plan on driving on a lot of gravel, as they tend to throw rocks.

Switched mine to Toyo AT3’s. Very pleased w them in all weather conditions.

I will likely replace my Territories with KO2s (or likely KO3s by then). I was originally concerned about the orginal rubber. But I have found them pretty good for daily driving, FWIW. Make sure the pressure is set correctly (air them down a bit).

The other posters are right on. My tires had 49lbs in each one. Aired down to 39lbs. Big difference. Try that before you spend more money on tires.

@Allenkoz - this is the answer. Off the lot my KO2s felt the same way. They were 10 psi over the standard tire pressure on the door frame label. Once aired down to the specified pressure it was night and day. Even the specified pressure is probably too high if you do a chalk test, but start there.

Excellent advice- so glad I joined this group. Thank you sir.

Nitto ridge grappler. Best tires I’ve run in years

I would check the PSI in them as others have said. I find the factory territory MT to be very good as a daily driver. They are great on wet roads and the road noise is mild imo. I have mine at 36 psi.

You won't find a better everyday driving or winter tire than the territory. Set the cold pressure to what the door jam states and you will much happier. It is the lightest, best accelerating, and fuel efficient 35" tire out there. The C rated BFG KO2s are in the ballpark but still significantly heavier. Personally, I switch my territories out for the dry months and put them back on for winter. I can't find a better winter tire that still wears decently when I get off the mountain. That said, look at the Falken AT3W if you insist at swapping out. If I had to go with a one tire set-up that would be it (but I also live in serious snow country).

I think the territory is the best tire for the bronco. It is the lightest tire out of all of the tires in the class by a significant margin. Better acceleration, fuel economy and great A/T tire all around. The other guys that say keep them at 39psi are right. Makes a big difference.

Excellent. Thank you for your input

If I were choosing an A/T style tire I think I'd decide between BFG KO2 and TOYO Open Country R/T
