Should I keep the 255/70R16 tires and the 16" steelies for any reasons?

If/after installing bigger tires. Or sell them, probably cheaply?

Should you?
You should know better than any of us. Good luck selling. I’d guess $250 for all 5 if new takeoffs. Much less if used.

Sell the tires and keeps the rims. Also get to re-use the sensor valves.

Don’t know if you get any sort of winter but might be good as a winter set
Yes, we have Winter and Snow in north Ohio, but I am older than the age of replacing tires (DIY).

Could have the worlds most over the top paperweight collection.

Or if you plan on running aggressive offroad tires you could keep the originals for your commuting miles and swap the big boys on only for trips.

If you can't get a decent price for the OEMs, you could keep them as spares if you ever blow the new ones

Could keep the rims if you plan on running snow tires like others have suggested (winters on the oem rims)

Potentially if you need warranty work where the dealer might blame the wheel/tire combo (unless the new wheels/tires actually caused it, then that is a dick move)

Otherwise I don't see much of a point

At least around here OEM take-off truck rims are a dime a dozen, it will be the same way with Bronco's in a year or two. I'd sell them now before the market is flooded. Personally I think the steelies are the best looking rims offered right now from the factory.

i will sell the tires, use the valves, keep the steelie rims and the bronco center caps. the 255 70 16 bridgestone h/t 685 tires are $186 on tirerack. i will be happy if getting a half of it. but warmart has the same tire for $139.

Just went to discount tire this morning to order tires and they said they’d give me $250 total for the 5 set on my OBX. He suggested I could probably get double that if I just sold them myself so I’m going to give that a shot.

Room for profit, perhaps a little too roomy.
