Tire recommendation for 2 door, non-SAS Outerbanks?

[Patrickgault]

Can anyone send a link to a thread that might have a good comparison or recommendation for tire replacement on my 2 door, non-SAS Outerbanks? I am buying a new set of rims and am looking for a tire to match. I want a little more aggressive AT 255 70R 18. Thanks!

Nice, which Coopers? Any road noise etc? Thanks for replying.

I run 275/65r18 Toyo Open Country ATIII. Same diameter, almost an inch wider, only about 1.5lbs heavier, more aggressive tread with sidewall. Perform great on/off road.

Dan, those fitting on a non-sas? 33"?

They are still a 32” tire, just wider. But yes non sas OBX. But there are many threads on here with people running 34” tires on non sas and say there is no rubbing or other issues. So I’m sure from what others say that you’ll be fine even with a 33. Personally I wanted to stay as close to stock diameter and weight.

I went with 18" rims and Cooper Tires AT3-XLT. I had these also on my F150 and love them

This looks really good. These wheels with the factory tires don’t look very well in my opinion but with larger more aggressive tires I like them. Same with the Wrangler Sahara wheels. I think they’re a good option for a factory 18inch wheel.

33.5" tires on a non-sasquatch OBX (17x9 +30 offset rim with 295/70R17 Milestar Patagonia M/T tires) fit just fine with the crash bars still installed.

The picture above is after 1/2" lift, but I had them on since day 1 with no lift on my 2021 Bronco OBX. Stock below.

If you are buying different wheels, you should consider moving to a 17". So much better tire choices for 17 inch. Just throwing it out there before you go deeper down the 18" hole.

This x1000... Go to a 17" wheel and your tire choice increases dramatically. Also, you can get a standard load tire for the 2dr which rides much nicer than the LT tires.

If you wanted to stay stock diameter and width, no problem with a 255/75R17. But since you are going new wheels, you will have less offset (look for +25ish) and you can run a 285/70R17 which is what comes stock on a Badlands non Squatch.

The Nitto Nomad Grappler would be an excellent choice in that size.

Only 1 of these sets left, an absolute steal...

Great feedback folks. I really appreciate it and all have helped me with my decision. Thank you all for the input!

Has anyone had any luck with selling their stock rims? I am considering powder coating the stock rims if its not worth the effort to sell them.

Which size on your Bronco ? I'm trying to figure out the 18" rims as well.
