Any suggestions?

How TF are you breaking glass? I ran a jeep jku on 38x13.5s for years and barely had any scratches.

Also, you can use this website to compare tire sizes to your stock size:

IF you have rocks kicking up from your tires, you may want to look for a tire that is a little more road oriented. Consider putting wider flares or mudflaps on. Good luck to you!

Also get mud flaps and running boards. I have zero rock chips on the sides. I also don't know how you're breaking any glass. Your windshield? Side windows? Rear window? Are you sure it's not the person driving in front of you?

Hi, are you mainly gravel road?

For a couple of miles into town. It’s ridiculous. I’m just looking for suggestions B so they’re not as aggressive
I didn’t have this problem with my 74

Deep close tread blocks do this. You might look at a KO2. baja boss AT, or Terra grappler.

Kenda Klevers 35 x 10.50 on the OEM wheels will get you inside the flares a bit.

Wow, that's impressive, if not expensive! I don't think that going 1 size skinnier will help at all really. I think you would be better served by mud flaps for sure. 2ndly, side steps help a lot and I remembered that my Jeep did have fairly wide steps that probably blocked a lot of my rocks.
Lastly, a set of wider flares could help, but likely the mudflaps and/or side steps will be what you want.

I’ve run 3 different tires so far:

The SAS Goodyears love to sling small rocks. Like half inch and smaller - they ding the paint, but never had one take out glass. Lots of rocks all the time. Running boards would fill up with rocks near the body seam - I could fill in pot holes with them.

Mickey Baja Legends. These things would not throw bad, but when they did it was big rocks. It would sling them out and over top of the vehicle somehow defying physics. Mud would accumulate on my roof. Again, never lost glass, but have some really good chips on my a pillars and around the glass to believe it’s possible.

Nitto ridge grapplers. Occasionally I’ll get a rock hung in the tread but haven’t had any issues with them slinging or doing any damage to anything. I am running a pizza cutter size and do have mud flaps, running boards and non-sas fender flairs so that may be helping there. (But I had all of that with those other tires too) . These do love to kick up limbs and they’ve put some good dents in my doors though….

Ty!
I never had any problems with my jeeps in Florida. The rocks here in Montana are ridiculous. Great suggestion and I appreciate

Screw buying new tires, you NEED to buy a lottery ticket! Of the 528,081 posts in the General Topics section, it appears this is the first one making allegations of side windows being shattered! That's a mind blowing statistic!

Even more mind blowing, you stated the "rocks keep breaking my glass". So your clamshell side windows have been shattered multiple times? HOLY COW, you definitely need to buy that lottery ticket!!!

That said, for some reason you posted this in the Bronco Raptor Forum which would also make you a lottery winner for being the first to report the problem in that group too.

This seems like clickbait to me…
