Bumping this thread. Badlands with procal and sport mode @26k miles. I may be crazy. Driving in 2WD at moderate speeds, it feels like my traction control is ALWAYS engaged (wonky rubber band acceleration feeling like it is fighting something), regardless of wheel spin or not. I can toggle...
Short answer: If you want to fit SAS size tires, buy +30mm wheels (or SAS Take-offs). The optional non-sas Badlands wheels from 21-23 are NOT the same offset as SAS (is +55 instead of +30).
Gonna save you some heart-ache. Pay attention to load rating when ordering tire. The ones you listed are only available in F2 range. You do NOT want F tires on a light Bronco.
Bad. You will have issues (rubbing) with 35s on non-sas wheels without adding a 1"+ spacer. That's why the sas offset is different. Run if the seller is telling you those are sas wheels.
Keep in mind these are NOT SAS wheels. They are the optional non-sas Badlands wheels for 21-23 (Same +55 offset as the silver Badlands wheels. Sas is +30.)
Installing 35"x12.5"x17" (D2) MT Baja Boss AT today. Newish tire, however hopeful based on current reviews. I'm replacing KO2s after only 18K miles (too much time wasted balancing and a few with 65lb+ road force). Will follow up!
Yessir. Financially it would have been smarter to take the credit and just replace the two bad tires. Trying a new brand (hopefully with less manufacturing defects) instead.
Sure. Was more curious if people are looking for an essentially unused spare (albeit 1.75 years old).
I certainly have no interest in selling the bad tires. Those are being warrantied like I said. Great tires the 1st 8-10K miles. :)
I'm replacing my KO2s (swapping all to Baja Boss AT) after only 18K miles. 2 have excessive road force above 65lb and are being warrantied (I expect the shop will scrap these). Do you think anyone would be interested in the 3 "good" tires? I will otherwise let the shop deal with them.

Installing these Wednesday to replace my 315/70r17 C2 KO2s (only 18K miles with the last 8K being wobbly balancing battle and 2 credited for excessive road force above 65lbs). Going with 35"X12.5"X17" D2. Confident the performance will be great. Weight increase looks minimal from spec sheets...
This is new! Just got recall notice for my 22 Badlands as well. Too bad I've already preemptively replaced with 6100s.
To answer your question: Completely safe to drive. May just get a little bumpy if/when the resi falls of.
I used this "cheap" vevor model from Amazon. The clamshell design feels significantly safer than the typical c-clamp style. Just make sure you have a long wratchet wrench. Don't use an impact.
Very handy to own a compressor, especially if you add weight and need to adjust heights.
