Thanks for all the advice - there's nothing like the voice(s) of experience when you need to learn something. I'll look into the new Trail Terrain T/As too - hopefully we can pick them up local and his mechanic can swap 'em on quick after getting the wheels powder coated. Should look sharp!

I am still stuck on why the Hell someone would be expected to do (and comply) tire shopping for their boss. You a personal shopper or something?

You're close - Personal assistant is more like it. He's a car collector (no, nobody you ever heard of) and I do a lot of research for him and the occasional shop/junkyard trips while he runs his business. He's just not into forums in general, although I am. It's a decent job and I get to be around cars a lot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had the Grabbers on my Pro4x and they where fine but didn't last. I'm on the coopers now and they look better, have longer thread life and less road noise.

Mine came with the grabbers but they’re 17s. I already replaced them with 315/70/17 toyo open country and love them. Makes the bronco looks so much better. My 5 Grabbers have 300 miles on them and are looking for a good home if anyone is interested?
Do you have pictures with the toyos you could share?

Absolutely love my Falken AT3.

Having a few different sets of general tires and no real complaints they are pretty middle of the road. General beats BFG for me, I have had plenty of issues balancing and tread damage on BFGs. Also have had BFGs sun crack pretty bad, these are on trucks that sit in the desert and needed new tires every 2-3 years for safety.

Falken AT3 doesnt get as much love personally i think due to the looks, i think they are a boring tire myself but if youre looking for exceptional AT tire they do it all. Super quiet and great wear on them. PRetty solid off road as well for an AT just doesnt have that aggressive look to me but I have still ran them on many applications.

Thank You, those look awesome and are now in the running.
It really does make the biggest difference, I can tell you it doesn’t help gas mileage though. Not like any of us bought a bronco for gas mileage but I’m getting 15 mpg, which is Raptor mpg

I have always had good luck with Generals, also Coopers.

I don't have my Base yet, but will likely be going with 265/75R16 Coopers
