What type of tires should I put on my Early Bronco to take it offroading?
I recently purchased a 1969 Classic Ford Bronco and am trying to fix it up to take it offroading. What type of tires should I put on my Early Bronco that will allow me to offroad and drive around town from time to time?

Not a fan of BFGs myself, i know alot of bronco guys run 'em, though. I got Toyo M/Ts on my '74 Bronco and wouldn't run anything else
Accepted Solution
Mudhoney- I've got 35" BFGs. Between 35-37 seem to be pretty standard for offroading. Anything above 37" requires a big lift--at least 8"--and makes it tough to maintain good handling around corners. Even with 35" tires, you'll need at least a 3" lift, but 4-6" is probably better if you want good clearance. You can get away with 6" lift on 37" tires, but you'll need to do a lot of fender trimming.

Hey MudHoney- I've got a 71 Bronco that I take offroading on trails and occasionally sand dunes. I've been using BF Goodrich All Terrains for years now. They've never failed me. They seem to be the most commonly installed on EBs--especially ones that are used for off-roading and around town.
