What tires come stock on Broncos?
Stock tires on Broncos vary by trim and year; typically non-Sasquatch Broncos ship with roughly 32-inch all-terrain tires, while Broncos equipped with the Sasquatch off-road package use 35-inch tires. For the exact size on a specific vehicle, check the door placard or Ford's official spec sheet.
The Ford Bronco lineup includes multiple trims and optional packages; tire sizes are tied to configuration and wheel options and can change between model years. This article outlines the typical stock configurations and how to verify the exact size on a given vehicle.
Non-Sasquatch Broncos: standard tire setups
Before the list, note that tire sizes can vary with year, wheel choices, and regional markets. The following describes common patterns you are likely to encounter on most non-Sasquatch Broncos.
- Most non-Sasquatch Broncos come with roughly 32-inch all-terrain tires on 17- or 18-inch wheels, depending on the trim and market.
- Wheel options for these trims commonly include 17" alloy wheels and, less often, 18" wheels with corresponding all-terrain tires.
In practice, check the exact size on the vehicle's door sticker or the official dealer specification to confirm the tire size for a specific build.
Sasquatch Package: how tires change the footprint
The Sasquatch off-road package is the Bronco’s upgrade for off-road capability and includes larger tires. Here’s what that means in stock form.
- The Sasquatch package equips 35x12.5R17 tires on beadlock-capable 17" wheels, significantly increasing ground clearance and traction for off-road use.
- This package is commonly paired with enhanced suspension and underbody protection, creating a distinct footprint compared with non-Sasquatch models.
For exact fitment details and any year-by-year changes, verify the vehicle’s build sheet or the Ford official spec sheet for the trim and package in question.
What to verify when buying a Bronco
Because tire sizes can vary by year, trim, and aftermarket changes, it is important to confirm the stock tire size on your specific Bronco build. Use the following checks when evaluating a used or new vehicle.
How to confirm the exact size for a given Bronco
- Read the door jamb placard for the original tire size, wheel size, and recommended cold tire pressures.
- Consult the official Ford brochure or the vehicle's window sticker for the model year’s stock configuration.
- Ask the dealer to pull the original build sheet or order guide for the exact tire specification tied to the trim and package.
Knowing the exact stock tire size helps with planning replacements, lifts, and compatibility with aftermarket tires.
Summary
The Ford Bronco’s stock tires are not a single size; they depend on the model year, trim, and whether the Sasquatch off-road package is equipped. Non-Sasquatch Broncos typically ship with about 32-inch all-terrain tires, while Sasquatch models sport 35-inch tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels. Always verify the exact size on the vehicle’s placard or official specification to avoid mismatches when replacing tires or comparing builds.
