I have a 94 Bronco with lift with 33" tires on it now... (dont like the tires i am running now) What tires would ya'll recomand i should get truck sees more highway than dirt n mud given that i life in southern california... looking to get 33x12.5x15 size but if i can run 35" i would like too....
Wich kind of lift do you have?, even those 33"s will rub given some conditions, getting bigger tyres puts more strain on all the drivetrain (they're also a lot more expensive), and will most probably require you to re-gear the diffs (wich is expensive), in order to keep a decent acceleration. If you're just doing it for the looks, keep those 33"s (the size, not the brand). If it's just a HW daily driver, i would even prefer 31"s.
Now, wich tyre? i personally like the Geolandars a lot, and have seen guys running Grandtreks a good while, several nice ones with aggresive patterns from Maxxis, there are a lot of good choices, i think.
i have 4.11 gears locker it the rear and split locker in fron manual locking hubs and regeared my transfer case, tranny is a heavy duty built by a buddy has 2 clutchs per gear and 7 front gears, i get around 16 mpg on highway ( going easy 65) out of my 351 with msd headers dual electric fans 200amo alternator edibrock upper manifold new fuel rail and injectors (forget the spray i have in now) k &n air filter< cali truck with no smog system or cats, flowmaster exhaust that each header goes straight to, the truck sees about 50-100 miles a week tops of highway i have a f550 for a work truck i drive everyday.... drive the bronco on the weekends... money is not the question of tires i was looking at toyos like the ones on my dodge but they are 252 a tire for 33s that crazy been looking a general tires at2 and muds from them have read good things.. but reading post you dont know if you can trust them always..... all of this work i have done in the past few months from when i picked her up..... i took it to az last week end and drove there and back only doing a tank and a quarter on gas even did a little wheeling but thats when i ****ed one of my tires up and i have the fullsize spare one rightnow... tires have 25% tread left... but there are cracks in the tire and are older time for new ones..... I have a ford 9" sitting in the garage i have been working on building right for the truck......
i am not ***** footing around on the truck im doingthe truck right driveline was the first thing done (minus the tires) what i am looking to do now tomorrow
BFG......Tour. Be sure "Tour " is on the end of something like B F Goodrich Long Trail T/A Tour ... are fantastic. No more trailer whipping and take up to 51psi when hauling heavy. Very responsive tire.

Reason: typo
thats cool you regeared the transfer case. curious to know about that, what model tcase do you have and what regear kit did you use?
My friend owns a 4x4 driveline shop thats how i figured it out i had to replace my tcase when we put the new tranny in... couldnt tell you what it is tho i would have to go look at it its not one of the stock ones... ill tell you what tho it is worth doing....
I run the Geolanders and love them, great all around tire. For more of a mud tire I like the Maxxis Bighorns. A few of my buddies run the Toyo mud terrains and they look killer but I have never been very impressed with them off road. I have gone just as far as them and they had to throw chains in the same areas as I did. and I spent a hell of a lot less on my tires.
I'd be interested in which T-case you are running as well simply because there are so many that did come stock in the Bronco over the years. I am intrigued by the idea that there is yet another unit that someone made work in this application.
BTW, with the gearing done right, 35's should do nicely under a slightly (4" and in some cases less) lifted 94.
