New Tires - What did you buy and why?

[redone17]

I changed my order to 285/75 Toyo AT3. Saved $200 on 5 due to being a more common size and saved 4 lbs each, shaved 0.6” in diameter to ensure no rubbing since I’m keeping the steelies and not willing to use spacers to offset.

Do you happen to know the actual weight on these? How are they doing so far?

I specs are 71 or 72lbs, they are awesome.

Done! These are meaty ATs! 35x12.5 Load Range D.

How did these affect your acceleration/braking/MPG when compared to the stock SAS tires? I’ve been considering these but am holding off due to them weighing nearly 20 lbs more per tire, especially since I’m getting the 2.3L engine. Also, now that you’ve had them for a while, are they still quiet?

Thanks a bunch man!

I ended up buying the Toyo AT3 in 285/75R17 and C load range. I wanted a little taller without too much of a weight penalty. I’m picking up 1” in height and (with the Method wheels at 25.3# each) about 6# per tire in weight. I just got the tires mounted, Will bolt them on and drive it this week.

I think mine is coming with tires, wheels too from what I understand

I'm really looking to upgrade from the 315's to 35" Mickey Thompson Baja. I love the look and think they'll go great with the Wildtrak. I'll keep the wheels as I don't have a problem with them, and think they look just fine and enjoy the Bronco branding on them. Might be something to trade out in a couple of years.

Got 35x12.5 Toyo AT3s in C load.

Wanted a bigger meatier tire but also wanted a smoother ride than D/E Loads.

Tires look great and rides smooth as butter. Love them.

I didn't have enough time with the stock tires to get a good sense of MPGs, but I do think they're down. I can't tell either on acceleration. If I had to guess, I think my MPGs took a hit by at least 2-4mpgs, but than again I still run premium and heavy on the throttle. I use my wife's suv to offset my carbon footprint.

Purchased a set of Kenda Klever AT2's (285/70/17) to replace the pedestrian, weak-ass looking tires that are coming with my Big Bend. I chose those after seeing a couple others on here with them as they look aggressive but also are affordable. Reviews for the KK AT2's seem very positive. I also liked the BFG KO2's but did not want to spend $240+ on a tire.

i went kendra rt myself cheaper great look nice tire and true to size

I’m still loving these tires… too bad the exact look of these tires won’t be around when I’m ready for a new set

Hey @CADUC3US Im about to pull the trigger on these, how do you like them, did you get SL or E rated?

 

[klastinger]

I love my 35” BFG KM3’s.

I love them…but I also have only put about 6500 miles on them as I haven’t taken many long trip in the Bronco…so no long term info from me. I find they ride smooth with just enough A/T knobby road noise but not as loud loud as a mud tire. I really dig the design/look of them as well…below is my Bronco with them on.
