Tire Recommendations for Bronco Sasquatch

[Snowboarder777]

Got the KO2 c load tires mounted and road force balanced on my first edition sasquatch rims. They balanced amazing and were perfectly round without much balancing weights.

Impression so far driving about 40 miles city and highway is:
They are phenomenal tires. Night and day vs the goodyear territory tires. The ride is much quieter, smoother, and more compliant over bumps and potholes. The handling is sharp and the highway ride is smooth as glass. The Goodyears were rough, noisy and a bit harsh over uneven pavement and made my bronco felt like a bucking bronco pun intended. They were hard to balance and I had steering wheel and seat vibration at speeds above 60 mph.

The KO2 is amazing and I highly recommend them. If anyone has any further questions please let me know. I cannot wait to try them on dirt roads etc.

I’ve had the new Nitto Recon Grapplers for about a month now.

Super quiet on the highway, still grips off-road. Glad I held out and was able to track 5 down.

Only down side, very hard to find.

3200 miles on MT Baja Boss. First set of MT’s I’ve ever run. Very happy with tire thus far. Quiet enough, triple peak rated, aggressive side wall, made in USA.

Which ones did you get? I’m looking at the Baja Boss A/T’s. Not sure I can find them anywhere though!

so you got the LT315s which are the C rated? I am running them on my Ranger but wasn't sure about the LT C rated on the bronco.

I went with 35” Falken Wildpeaks as well at the recommendation of the truck shop, Zeus Off Road, where I bought them. My main criteria were quiet, good snow traction, and a rugged look. During the winter I’ll be running these on snow covered lakes for things like ice fishing and don’t have a Sherp ATV(pictured below) like some of my neighbors. That thing actually floats so it’s a true amphibious vehicle and a blast to ride in, lol.

The AT3W’s have a 3 peak snow rating unlike a lot of the other tires I looked at. The ice is still not out on our lake so we deal with a long snowpack here in MN. A few of the mechanics in the shop run them on there Jeeps so I figured they know their stuff. I can’t speak to longevity because they are two days old.

I've run two sets of those on my F150 (and would be running a 3rd if they had ordered them). They're good in the snow we get here and I'd get about 40-45k out of them on my F150 (probably could have gone more but they were worn enough that I was not running them through a 3rd winter). Probably my favorite tire recently.

Still happy with these? Saw they expanded their size lineup quite a bit, and are discontinuing a few sizes of the Terra Grappler to reduce overlap.

Would have assumed looking at the tread the Terra would have been the quieter, more civil tire, but there's not a lot of feedback on the Recon yet.

Yeah I still like them. They could be a bit quieter but that’s the size….

Glad you had a good experience because I had K02s mounted and balanced and had vibration at highway speeds so took them to another shop for road force balance and they couldn’t get them to balance. Shop said they always have issues with balancing K02s. Even my 4x4 shop said they never recommend them. Probably just some bad batches and I was able to return them and pick up Nitto Ridge Grapplers which balanced perfectly and super smooth on highway. Initially I didn’t want the E load or aggressive tread of the Nittos but they’re growing on me. Will see how they do on the beach and winter

Sorry you had this experience but I'm glad it's all sorted! That's why I love the road force machines. I get some bad batches of low profile tires even Michelins for my sedans which the road force can help alleviate vibration and replace the out of round tires.

How about these as an option:
Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 LT 315/70R17 121/118S
