I would pay more for the Sasquatch package if I could get it with BFG's

[Bodge Garage]

Maybe I am being g picky but those Goodyears just leave me cold. They have no presence and no track record. I have run the BFG KO2 and KM3 with great results and they look the part. I am getting a Badlands and it kills me that I feel like the sasquatch has a step down in tires and that tries and wheels is really all you are getting with a Badlands Sasquatch. I am not trying to be one of those complaint driven treads. I love the Bronco and the Sasquatch but I also love BFG's . Just wish I could have it all you know.

I'm looking forward to trying out the Goodyears. They look like a decent tire, and load range C, should air down nicely. Can't wait to see how they hold up at 2-4psi

I agree. I’m probably going with the stock badlands wheels so I can get the ko2s and then put 35s on when they wear out. Or just sell the take offs and buy my own wheels and tires. Not at all interested in the Goodyear’s.

So order some BFGs to arrive before you take delivery and sell the Goodyears?

The Goodyear Territory M/Ts have been tuned/tested specifically for the Bronco. I think they are gonna be awesome.

Just seems a waste to pay $2500 for sasquatch and then another $2000 to get the tires that are on the model just below yours.

You are more brave than myself. I will not be running these anywhere near 2psi, beadlocks or not.

I'd much rather have the BFG. I'll swap tires right away if they are GY.

Well, considering they are a brand new to market tire they could be the greatest tire in the history of tires. They also could not be. However, you're wanting to swap them out before even having an informed opinion so that's a cost you're gonna have to accept if the BFG's really matter that much to ya.

Same here. I'm going SAS Black Diamond and in my choice of tires Goodyear has never been in consideration.

Sorry, that seems like marketing hype to me. I think "tuning" mostly means removing the "Wrangler" brand from the sidewall, meeting basic size and load specs, and offering a discount to Ford. But I too hope they are awesome, since there is no choice.

I would encourage you to watch the video with the Goodyear Engineers who spoke in-length about the new Territory M/Ts. I have no problem going with them for the first round of tires and then will decide whether to stick with them or not after that.

That makes too much sense.

My problem with the Goodyear is ford is putting a decent premium on them over the BFG even in the 33in option for the badlands. Why so much of a premium for a totally unproven tire...much less vs one that has a long history of being a solid all around tire

A new tire just hitting the market is typically going to get a premium over what is essentially a 21 year old design in the KO(2). It’s not like BFGs can’t be improved on. Weights are highly variable and they are sometimes a bear to balance in big sizes...which can be a major problem on an IFS truck. They are a good tire...not the best out there. I’m hopeful this new GY is better. I much prefer Duratracs over KO2s, and maybe this is an improvement over the Duratrac. If so...it should be priced higher.
