Damn 35s are big

[Cptjockitch]

The 2021 bronco without the Sasquatch package looks like a body builder who skipped leg day. It just looks ugly and the wheel options for all the trim packages look ugly. Also the resale value for a bronco without the Sasquatch package will probably be very limited. Ford knows what they are doing and made the Sasquatch package a must. If I see a bronco without the Sasquatch package I will probably think it’s a soccer mom taking her kids to school. It is what it is. I know people want to get the best price but the Sasquatch package is a must even if you intend on swapping out the wheels. If you talk yourself out of the Sasquatch package you’ll regret it when you drive your little foot bronco next to a big foot bronco. I’m sure most people would rather buy a used bronco with a Sasquatch package over one that got aftermarket suspension and wheels.

I went to get some tires at Americas tire (same thing as Discount tire) and they torqued the nuts the wrong way and stripped the studs. They wouldn't take responsibility for it and said I had to go some where else to get it fixed. Never again.

OMG, I have a Tire Barn story....way too long , summary:
(God as my witness, this is all true.... this is not a troll story)

Went for a summer/winter rotation.
They fucked up the studs ...16 out of 20.
Wanted to fix it themselves.
FUCKING TOLD THEM ....my mechanic's shop is RIGHT THERE!!!! (200yds away) If you have any doubts , just take it there and have them repair it. AND , regardless, I WILL have mechanic inspect it afterwards...so......

one week of rental car until they were done(NO BODY had enough metric studs and nuts, I even called all around myself) .... afterwards, took it DIRECTLY to mechanic to inspect.....

$2300 in damage repairs! and another week of car rental.

34s sound better

I would take a BOF lifted Flex with 3.5 ecoboost anyday.

Maybe I should do this to my 2014 Flex instead of trading it in.......lol

The fact is that 35s are not very big on a truck like this. Four door Rubicons look like crap stock because 33s are too small for the truck, and Bronco is the same, but probably worse. The four door needs 35s to look in proportion. Maybe the OP saw a 2 door, which is much different and looks fine with 33s and 35s do look big...

Never ever pick a United Nations vehicle as an example ..just yuck

The LEGEND of go anywhere, do anything offroad, of ALL SUV's, doesn't use massive tires to do its job ... talk to some real overlanders before you equip your mall crawler

A bunch of people are going to be surprised and possibly not happy with 35"s. I have them on my F-150 and they do require a certain commitment.

Edit: By commitment I mean committed to lower fuel mileage, lower perceived power, increased braking distance and increased road noise.

I'm sure with the taller gearing in the SAS it will even out in mileage, and perceived power. As for breaking distance and road noise, I don't think they will be all that bad. I am biased though, my 10th gen f150 never braked very well and had tons of road noise and my Duramax is so heavy it doesn't matter with brakes lol #leavesomedistance

This is a great first post

That person drives an Audi, what do you expect?

 

[DeltaChris]

35s are just right

 

[Xploit]

35x12.5

...saw them and said, hmm, maybe Sasquatch is a little overkill...almost looked cartoonish in person. Really put things in perspective after gushing over bronco photos. While they do look great for off roading, it just seemed like they have no business on paved roads

AGREED. Way too big footish.

 

[Hoofnmouth]

F yeah they are big 500 lbs big and heavy but they help off road heaps ,can barley see out back window so i put in a rear view cam.

You can't just shove a big tire on a vehicle and call it good. All of the above is not an issue if the vehicle is set up properly for the tire size they are going to run. I had 35's on all of my Jeeps and 37's on one of them. They were modified appropriately with the proper gearing, brake upgrades and tune with no perceived shortcomings. Coming from the factory with 35 inch tires I am confident Ford took care of all of these considerations.

This is what I have now. Although it's much bigger then the bronco will be, it comes stock with P265/70/17. I put on 315/70/17 or "35". Much bigger tire. They are more $$ and are more then fine for pavement driving. You just want to stay away from M/T. To much noise. A good A/T tire will be fine.

If I see a Bronco with a Sasquatch package owned by someone who does not seriously off-road on a regular basis I see an owner who values form over function.

No. The increased moment of inertia of the tires will decrease road performance as measured by acceleration and mpg. Physics.
