To the designer of the Sasquatch tires

Simple solution, get rid of the gravel driveway and just have it paved

Drive on roads with smaller gravel.......fixed!

It might hurt my pride to go "smaller!"

 

[dcg2]

Walmart has them for $13.80!

This makes me kind of want JEEP branded mud guards just to confuse the shit out of people

Never had any rock throwing issues with the GY Duratracs on my Jeep. They've been a outstanding tire for the 60k that's on them now.

Nah, my Metro tires are sticky and will throw gravel, too!

It's because of the poke! Hahaha!

We knew the Bronco was going to be susceptible to the rocks just based on the mud pattern you see on every muddy Bronco. How they didn't see this and make some modifications we'll never know.

My rappy always gets the exact same mud pattern. It has great fenders as well as running boards. That’s just how the game is played if you want traction, you’re gonna get some scratches and dirt. The first two pics are from about 10 years ago the garage pic is from 5 mins ago. Different tires, same effect. It’s par for the course with a capable vehicle

Just because the do it doesn't mean that's the way they have to.

With many many years of lifted & built Jeeps behind me, I follow the Bronco / Sasquatch saga chuckling along the way. Many new to this game will discover the wonders of living day to day with a vehicle really best suited to dirt & rocks. FWIW, Goodyear’s MTR/K 37s were the all around worst tire I ever put on a Jeep. That Goodyear was chosen to provide the Sasquatch 35s was a major disappointment. As a Ford retiree I look forward to ordering my Bronco soon on the Z Plan. (Watch this Forum for my full report on the dealers’ reactions to a Z Plan order!)

Did you notice any difference with rock slinging?

Wait till you get into some muddy trails. After 5 days of backcountry clay, sand, mud, and gravel Forrest service roads I have the following on my 2 month old, $58k vehicle:
-Rock chips, yes
-gouged fender flares, yes
-mud and sand inside the rear window nooks, check
-mud packed into the seams of the rear bumper, door handles, etc, check

I spent $10 at the manual car wash yesterday cleaning it up, plan on spending several hours tomorrow Hand washing and cleaning the interior.

I LOVED EVERY DAMN MINUTE OF IT AND DONT CARE.

Sorry, this didn’t add anything to this post. So, even though I don‘t like the Goodyears they did provide excellent traction in the wet goo. That said, by Christmas I’ll be running KO2’s and will compare appropriately.

I am sorry but these sasquatch MT are a fail, I ran 33" Copper STTs on my lifted FJ cruiser and the tread design ejected rocks, mud, snow out of the tread immediately instead of locking them in and then having them become a projectile on the freeway. Not only bad for the Bronco exterior but I am sure vehicles driving behind these tires are going to get vehicle damage as well.

Yes!! I worry about this exact issue.

 

[broadicustomworks]

Just look at the gravel my KO2’s picked up! It’s ridiculous!

Oh wait, I forgot about the day I didn't pick up rocks but I did gobble up some earbuds
