We need more convos about fitting Sasquatch tires on non Sasquatch broncos, 2.3 vs 2.7, 2 door vs 4 door. Did I miss any beat to death topics? OP had 4 different tire threads 🤣
Hey, I just had the shop put Sasquatch-size tires on my non-Sasquatch Badlands. MT Baja Boss 315/70R17s (load range E) on Method 708s. I didn't need load range E for Sierra granite, but I wanted extra durability for the desert and its often-sharp rocks.

Also had a 1.75" lift on Eibachs and Icon low-profile crash bars put on. Looks great and drives/rides just fine on pavement. I still need to put on Sasquatch flares to cover the tires, but in the meantime the poke looks cool.

My Bronco's in the garage for a bit for other reasons, but I'm looking forward to hitting the trail soon.

Skinny vs wide
I was going to go for the Baja Boss 255/85R17s, but decided in the end to get the wider tires. Winter traction and control in Sierra ice and snow (narrow) vs. sideways stability on loose rock (wide), among various other dilemmas.

ETA: Many thanks to the many people here who educated me on these and other topics!
