Henry Rifle Forums

Bought a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires for the Bronco today. Put them on around mid-Sept. Should look pretty bad-*ss and get real good traction for winter. 225/60R18's.

Pictures! We want pictures.

As soon as I get 'em on I'll post a pic. The stock tires that came on it are Michelin Primacy but very much street tires. The A/T's will look much more aggressive plus they are snow rated.

I’ve had an 86, 87, and 90 Bronco II. Sure would like a new one. How do you like it now that you have had it awhile?

We really like it. Very solid on the road, good mileage, and fun to drive. Lots of room inside, and storage as well. Should be great in the snow.

Have a few of the full size Broncos in the area now too, very cool but also a big price tag.

I wonder how it would tow my teardrop?

Mine is about 1,500 wet. My Outback pulls it fine even at high speed but gets 18 mpg at 75 mph and gets 25 at 60. It’s almost a waste of the car because it likes to cruise at 80 or faster.

So far on this trip I’m staying at 60 for the better mileage but also to keep the RPM down.

With new Falken Wildpeak A/T tires...let it snow!

Nice!

Ride's a little stiffer, which I like. But the Michelins that came on it were a street tire, so I traded them in on the new ones.

I drove a full size Bronco while I waited at the dealer, a soft top Black Diamond edition. They want to give me full value for mine as a trade on it....haha, I don't think I want much more debt at my age. It was nice but I don't see me taking the top down and doors off much. Plus a soft top when it's -30 won't be much fun either. It was sure an off road one though.

This is the one they want to deal on. 2.3L turbo.

I have Falken Wildpeaks on my 98 4Runner and like them a lot. When the highway tread on my 2016 wear out, I will be putting them on it as well.

is most of the snow in your area dry and fluffy or heavy and wet/icy

Starts out fluffy at -10 and then by noon when it's +40 it's wet cement, then overnight it freezes solid....

sounds much like my wife's home area in South Dakota

Put a hood protector on the Bronco. Bugs go over the top now instead of splat on windshield. Save stone chips too.

Does Badger get jealous when you ride a bronco?

Hey All,

Can't bring myself to really like the new broncos. They just don't look like the 1970 model I used to drive time to time. My grandparents don't remember the engine 289? But it was 3 on the tree 4x4. So much fun almost wrecked a couple times on washboards coming up to stop signs.

The Xterra I had before this Wrangler jeep I have now had a bug deflector - seemed to help - except for the one time I drove into a grasshopper storm not far from oyen - nothing helps then.

I looked at falkens at3ws I think they were for my Jeep but ended up getting wrangler duratracs an luv them. Great on off road dry mud or snow an no noticeable road noise.



Hope that bronco works well for you.
