Black Diamond Tires

[RADRide]

Hi, Question: I have Big Bend with stock rims and tires. Have the opportunity to buy Black Diamond wheels and tires, will it make a noticeable difference in tire look. Was also considering just doing KO2 on my BB rims. Also I have the standard axle, can the BB take the BD tires? Thanks

Yes on both questions, they'll fit, BD and BB both have Hoss 1.0 base suspensions. BD has standard rear diff but it was optional on BB but doesn't matter to change out to BD wheels/tires. To me the BD steelies look better than the standard BB wheels but can't speak to the General's vs. BFG comparison, both are ranked well for what they are.

Black steelies are the best stock wheels. Grabbers have been great on and off-road.

I'm biased as a BD owner and wanted the steelies.
My experience with the KO2s was they were ok tires on my Raptor. They were stock and I gave them a second shot on my first tire replacement. But when it came time to replace them the second time, I joined many people in the Gen 1 community and switched to Grabbers.
The KO2s used to chunk and crack fairly quickly. The Grabbers seem to hold up better over the life of the tire. At least that's the case on my truck. We'll see how they do on the Bronco. I'm only 17K miles in.

Cool thanks @atimberwolf the Grabbers are the stock wheels right?

They were on my 2022.

I can confirm the grabbers are also great on Toyota/lexus. As long as ford keeps putting them on broncos there should be a steady supply of cheap take off 265/70-17 tires available
