How many have owned lifted vehicles with 35+" tires?

[Coldsteele]

I've had a lot. Had this one for a while and it was the biggest, the ones in the pic are 38s but it had 40s at one point as well.

I neglected to mention this in my post above: I’m also hoping that a proper lift & 37’s are workable right off the lot. I’d guess that this will not be a factory option, but maybe just maybe it could be an dealer option via Ford Performance. That said I’ll only do it with Ford “if” it’s a proper coilover lift such as Fox factory 2.5’s or comparable. I’m not interested in a spacer or leveling kit. Plus I don’t know yet if the axles in the Badlands are rated for 37’s.

Badlands axels spec
M210 Dana AdvanTek front.
M220 Dana 44 AdvanTek rear.

I had a 2010 F150 FX4 Supercrew with a 6” lift and 35’s on Fuel 20” wheels. Looked sweet and ride was fine. It definitely felt a lot slower though!

This is what I have on my F150 but I have 18” wheels. I did a 4.56 re gear and tuned it and now it’s quicker than it was stock lol. I did lose a lot of top end though but I didn’t care because anything over 100 in my truck is a death warrant.

I had an AEV jeep with 35's and a V8 Hemi. It drove great even at high speeds. The KM2 tires got loud at about 15,000 miles so I put on Nitto Terra 35s AT which were much quieter and a smoother drive.

35's on a '77 CJ5 and on a 2017 and 2019 Raptor. Definitely going 35's on Bronco or trying to go 37's if possible.

Remember that not all 33's and 35's are thre same. I got a TeraFlex lift on my jeep bought 33x12.50 SuperSwampers and they hit all over. The guy that installed lift for me tought they were 36's. When I parked next to 35x12.50 BFG's my SSR's drafed the BFG's. WHen I measure the tire it measure 34.5" (BFG was 34") but visually they look bigger and bolder than the BFG. Kind of pricey though. And harder to replace.

I thinking of going with Cooper on Bronco after OEM's wear out.

I've had a few...currently an xj, a yj, and my beloved FSB. All old. Looking forward to getting into the 21st century w/new Bronco. There's a phenomenon that happens in this hobby known as "shrinking tire syndrome" those boggers on my fsb look huge in my driveway...i include this pic that makes them look very very small!

Carrying that spare for somebody else ??? LOL

The Bronco will likely be my first lifted vehicle with large tires. I'm planning on keeping my 16 XLT and just putting a level on there with some 33's.

I’m running 35x10.5x17s on my Tacoma. I’ve long been a fan of the tall narrow profile. I plan to squatch my Bronco but only for the gears, I’ll likely change out the tires for something different. I’ll likely step the Tacoma back down to 285/75/17s when the Bronco arrives. I also prefer RT tires to MT’s.

What tires are you running that are 35x10.5? I like my tires that same profile.

I ran 35s on a 79 f150 , and 87 and 05 jeeps. The 460 in the Ford made up for not re-gearing. I didn’t do gears on the 87 Jeep and it was a joke as far as usable power goes. Ran 4.88 gears on the 05 Jeep and power felt better than it did with stock 29” tires and 3.73 gears.

I will not go 37s on the new Bronco, even though the wheel wells look perfect for 37s from the factory. I swear they designed it to look most natural with 37s. Tires that size (heavy) wear out parts at a much, MUCH higher rate than even 35s. Lots of parts should be upgraded when running tires that big, and I’m not just talking gearing.

So even though the new Bronco looks like God intended it to come from the factory with 37s, mine will never see tires that big. 33s have been plenty for me as of late, but since I can get 35s from the factory, I’d be dumb not to, right?

I have 35's on a 4" short arm lift on my JKU. The proportions are right and it gives me what I need for wheeling.

I've run several tires and while I agree all MT's make noise, the BFG KM2 are the best. The KM3 are better. But the KO2 are an amazing tire that is significantly quieter and will do great on most trails and better in the rain than MT's.

For my Bronco I will run the 35's on the BadSquatch for a while and see how they look, feel and trail. After the first 12-18 months, when there are some kits out there for suspension, I'll decide what I'm going to do for upgrades on lift and tires (including if I want to go up to 37's).

Once u get over 35s it is good practice to keep a smaller set handy as a "tire down" option for maintenance purposes, and storage. I know its tempting to put them on Craigslist, but you will be glad you hung onto them.

37’s on both my wrangler and 4Runner currently. Neither are my daily, and compared to the GTI both are loud but not annoying in any way.

I've got 35s and 6" lift on my 2012 Tahoe Z71. I'm only 5'2", so I'm hoping my sasquatch wildtrak looks good as it sits.
