Guaranteed getting my Bronco in Sept., OK, October already.

[andrusoid]

How do I know? Because I swore I was not going to put a dime into my 2017 Outback and just drive it until I got the Bronco. Tires nearly bald and I pick up a bolt-head screw somewhere and had to buy new tires. Then to come into work this week to find that new tops were being built, finally. My luck usually works in some kind of penance before moving on to something better, so pretty much guaranteed that my 07/21 build will finally be getting a top and shipping soon. I should put the cheapest craptires on the Outback, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Next month someone will be driving it with brand new Nitto Grappler G2s as I just can't put crap on a vehicle. It's actually appreciated in value since I bought it last year and is worth about $2500 more now than when I bought it, so that's something. Weird that it has more clearance than the base Bronco, a little over 8.7". (But not when I put 32.7" Nitto Grappler ATs on the Bronco, tee-hee.) [Now looking more like 32.9 Mickey Thompsons.]

Why do you like the Nittos? I want 33" tires on my OBX 18" wheels, but mostly do road and beach, dont want too noisey! Cant decide.

I always buy Nittos. Not loud. Handle great, have not tried on the beach but they are great on the road. Check out the Grappler G2's. I like them fat, but my brother would say get tall and narrow for sand. I've had 305/55r20's on a 2011 reg. cab Silverado 4x4 2" lift and it was a head turner.

Yes, fat/wide is good, and tall enough to let out air on sand without riding on rims. But i like quiet. Thanks for the advice.

Here's a 285/60r18. Nitto Terra Grappler G2 | Discount Tire Direct about 55lbs. You can do a 285/75 for a 34.85", little pricey and they weigh 66lbs.

Putting good tires on before you sell the Subaru will bring you good car karma

You funny. Yeah, and it's a blast to drive now with the Nittos instead of the stock all season OEM from Subaru. Really wanted to go with 245's but, the standard 225s are already spendy enough for what's basically a gift to the new owner. Should bump my resale value up, though.

You get to enjoy them for a little while at least before your Bronco hopefully gets released from Purgatory. I feel better sending the new owner of one of my vehicles on their way with decent tires and fresh fluids

Find a used tire shop. Get all four that are good enough to sell for the price of one or two.
