Bronco will be my DD. I drive between 18,000-19,000 miles per year. Will the Big bend 32 tires work as a heavy daily driver ? Or tread more suitable off road ?

I would think so. Outside of the base and OBX tires, they would be the next most DD friendly tires.

Not really. Exact same tire, just a slightly different size. Get the BB, if that is the Bronco you like. The Tire is a mild AT and can easily be changed out to something even milder if you wan to in the future. Pick the Bronco you want.

BB is a 17 inch wheel and OB is an 18 inch wheel.

Thx. Can they handle light off-roading as well ?

Sure, they are AT tires. Will last 30-40K miles and then you can get some better tires.

Want something that can handle DD for heavy miles And light off roading. Also prefer 32” as look is ok and not too big for daily driving
Bigger tread would be great but again not for DD

I certainly hope they don't last, I'm looking forward to putting bigger ones on there when they wear out :)

No, they are just typical OE tires that have a short life span. You will want better tires when you replace them.

I like Bridgestone dueler REVOs if I was getting a Bridgestone tire. They are true daily drivers that handle the road as well as off road. I have used them on the autobahn at 100mph and off road in many places. My current set has over 60K miles on them.

Lots of good choices out there that will be better than the stock tires once you wear them out. I wouldn't worry about it. They will be fine for the first couple of years you own it.
