An age-old debate with regards to off-road vehicles… “What size tire should I run?” We address this head on for the new Ford Bronco by comparing the pros and cons of running a 35” tire versus a 37” tire. When we took delivery of our 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands, it came equipped from the factory with the Sasquatch Package, which included a set of 315/70R17 tires. We quickly swapped the factory tires for a set of 35” Nitto Trail Grapplers – which run a bit truer to size. Fast forward a few months and we rebuilt our Bronco for SEMA, which included a 2” suspension system from Bilstein Shock Absorbers and a bigger set of tires – this time, 37” Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

After running both the 35s and 37s, we ultimately decided to replace our 37” Ridge Grapplers with our set of 35” Trail Grapplers. We found that bigger isn’t always better, and that there are many factors to consider when deciding the right size tire for your Ford Bronco build, such as intended use of your vehicle and all-around performance of your vehicle.

Tune in as we discuss why we went down from a 37” tire to a 35” tire. We dive into a comparison of the Nitto Trail Grappler and Ridge Grappler, the difference in size and weight, fitment requirements for each tire size, and ultimately the costs associated with running each.
