New Tires

I got my new tires on Monday they are Falken Wild Peak A/Ts 32/1150/15s. So far they are GREAT.

That's a nice color Bronco you got there! Those tires look pretty nice too. Mine are BFG all terrains I'm pretty sure they are 33s. I love mine but they aren't cheap. How much did your tires cost?

My cost on the tires is around 160 per does not include mount and balance since I work there. And they come w/ a 50k warrenty.

I've got to get my F-150 back on the road first, but the leveling kit are in my plans.

They retail through the shop for $170 plus mount/balance. Since we just opened we aren't marking tires up that much.

I was trying top find the actual measurement specs of the tires and could not for some reason. So many say 32 in the size but are really 30.5-31 tall in the spec sheet....

The 30's on my '93 now are really 29" and to small .....

Hmm well my 235's if they were new would sit at 29" says the specs. But my are on the border line of being slicks so mine are under 29" right now...I looked at 31inch bf goodrich a/t's and the spec's say there are 31, I have seen them on a jeep and they looked huge compared to my punt 235's..

Im wondering if it depends on the brand???

Yep that was the reason I was asking. I put Yokohoma 31 10.5 X15 on my 93 EB Bronco. They said I could not go any more without a lift kit.

That is what they said, but after I got the 31's on I swear it looks like I could have gone bigger. Even with my worn out shocks.

Thanks. That shows a 32" tire in that brand is only 31.5" tall. It is a shame that there are such wide tolerances in the tire world. I did some time selling them and it was a headache when doing comparisons for customers.

My speedo reads 10% fast so I want to get a tire that is 10% taller than I have now....so a true 32-32.5" tire.
