How to choose the right size tire for your 2021+ Bronco

[North7]

Product description for Big Bend has

• 255/75R17 All-Terrain (A/T) (32”)

That a P or LT tire?

Looking at the spec sheet the Big Bend 32" is a "Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S"

Looking at tiresize.com and tirerack.com the size 255/75R17 does not exist yet so we have to assume Ford has Bridgestone making them special for the Bronco.

Looking at other "Bridgestone Dueler A/T RH-S" tires, close in size to the 255/75R17, you will see they are mostly rated "SL" (which is the same as a "P" rated tire) but they do have one "C" rated (which is the same as a "LT").

So it does not look like we can't be certain yet if the Big Bend tires will be a P or LT tire.

Thanks for finding and posting this North! I was hoping for a more aggressive tread, but I suppose for my "mostly on-road, and not-so-often light/medium off-road", common sense should prevail. Maybe my next set after these wear out...

I had SL rated tires on my F150 Supercrew and when I replaced them with LT there was a noticeable difference in ride quality. I am guessing a smaller/lighter vehicle it will be even more noticeable.

Just give me the biggest one that will fit and call it a day.

And yes, that’s what she said.
