What size tires on stock Bronco?

The stock Ford Bronco comes equipped with 32-inch all-terrain tires. This tire size provides a balance of off-road capability, on-road performance, and overall vehicle handling for the Bronco's intended use as a versatile, go-anywhere SUV.


Tire Size Details for the Stock Ford Bronco


The standard tire size for the 2021 and newer Ford Bronco models is 255/70R17. This translates to a tire width of 255 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 70%, and a 17-inch wheel diameter. The 32-inch overall tire diameter provides ample ground clearance and off-road traction, while still maintaining a comfortable and controlled on-road driving experience.


The 32-inch tire size is a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts, as it offers several benefits:



  • Improved Ground Clearance: The larger tire diameter increases the Bronco's ground clearance, allowing it to navigate over obstacles more easily.

  • Enhanced Traction: The all-terrain tread pattern and larger contact patch provide improved traction on a variety of surfaces, from mud and sand to rocks and gravel.

  • Smoother Ride: The larger tire size helps absorb impacts and provides a more comfortable ride, especially when traversing rough terrain.

  • Increased Wheel Travel: The larger tires allow for more wheel travel, which is essential for off-road performance and maintaining control in challenging conditions.


It's worth noting that the stock Bronco tire size can be modified to suit individual preferences or specific off-road needs. Many Bronco owners choose to upgrade to larger tires, such as 33-inch or 35-inch models, to further enhance the vehicle's off-road capabilities. However, these larger tire sizes may require additional modifications, such as suspension lifts, to maintain proper clearance and handling.
