Best Tires for Ford Bronco

Published by Rims & Tires

Compiled & checked by the site's publisher from manufacturer, NHTSA & USTMA data · Updated 2026-07-24

The Ford Bronco returned in 2021 as a genuine off-road machine. It comes from the factory with capable tires: Bronco Wildtrak and Badlands have factory-fitted off-road tires, and the Raptor rides on 37-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2s. The aftermarket upgrade path is clear.

Common Ford Bronco tire sizes

Bronco Sport (2021-current): 225/65R17 (Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks — 225/60R18 optional), 235/65R17 (factory upgrade option on Badlands and First Edition over the standard 225/65R17, fitted with a Falken Wildpeak A/T).

Bronco 2-door (2021-current): 255/70R16 (Base). Non-Sasquatch trims vary — Black Diamond ships on LT265/70R17, Badlands on LT285/70R17 — while Wildtrak comes standard with the Sasquatch package on LT315/70R17. The Raptor uses a distinct 37x12.50R17.

Bronco 4-door (2021-current): same sizes as 2-door.

The Badlands uses LT285/70R17 with factory A/T tires and significant lift, the ideal starting point for upgrading.

Best tires: Bronco Sport

Falken Wildpeak AT3W: the most popular upgrade for Bronco Sport owners who want to improve the factory all-season. The 3PMSF rating and A/T capability match the Sport's character without adding highway noise.

Michelin CrossClimate2: the best all-season option for Bronco Sport owners who primarily drive paved roads. Excellent wet grip and 3PMSF capability without A/T noise.

Best tires: Bronco 2-door and 4-door

BF Goodrich KO2 in 285/70R17: the most popular Bronco upgrade tire in the enthusiast community. Better rock and mud grip than the factory all-terrains, proven durability in the off-road community.

Toyo Open Country AT3 in 285/70R17: a quieter alternative to the KO2, preferred by Bronco owners who daily-drive long highway distances and want less cabin noise.

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT in 285/70R17: an aggressive all-terrain alternative with strong mud clearance, increasingly popular in the Bronco community.

Best tires: Bronco Raptor

The Bronco Raptor uses 37x12.50R17, a very large size with factory BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires. The BF Goodrich KM3 in 37x12.50R17 is the primary enthusiast upgrade for Raptor owners who use the vehicle for technical trail and rock crawling.

Frequently asked

What tires come on the Ford Bronco Wildtrak from the factory?

The Bronco Wildtrak ships standard with the Sasquatch package on LT315/70R17 with Goodyear Territory M/T tires, an aggressive factory mud-terrain. Many Wildtrak owners upgrade to BF Goodrich KO2 or Toyo Open Country AT3 for a quieter daily-drive alternative.

How much do Ford Bronco tires cost?

285/70R17 A/T tires (most popular Bronco size): $150–220 per tire. A set of four installed: $600–880. The 37x12.50R17 Raptor size: $200–280 per tire.

Should I run all-terrains or mud-terrains on my Bronco?

Depends on how you actually use it. If most of your week is pavement with the occasional trail or fire road, an all-terrain is the smarter pick, quieter, longer-wearing, and better in rain. Go mud-terrain only if you're regularly in deep mud, sand, or on rocks and you're willing to trade road manners and tread life for it. Most Bronco owners end up happier on an aggressive A/T than they expect.

Should I replace all four Bronco tires at once?

On a four-wheel-drive Bronco, yes, replace all four together whenever you can. Mismatched tread depths across the axles can strain the drivetrain on a full-time or automatic 4WD system. If you only damage one and the others are near-new, a shop can sometimes match a single tire, but four matched tires is the safe default.

Where can I get Bronco tires installed near me in West Georgia?

We'll match you with a local shop in the Carrollton and West Georgia area that stocks or can order the size you need and mount it right. The bigger Bronco sizes sometimes need to be ordered in, so it's worth calling ahead. The shop we connect you with can sort that out, and getting matched is free.
