The 2025 OE Tires have been produced for awhile now in the Wrangler logo and were not made to Ford specs for the Bronco Sport except to remove the Wrangler logo - this was discussed by talking to a marketing person in Canada at the factory that produces these tires
of course how these tires originated years ago I canāt comment on since I donāt know
Those reviews are for the OE tires equipped on the Toyota Tacoma in a 265/70R18. Apples to oranges.
Besides, hydroplaning is the almost always entirely the driver's fault, not the tires.

May 22, 2025 2.2* out of 5 āThis tire came standard on the Trailhunter. They didn't look bad, in fact the sidewalls looked pretty aggressiveā¦ā
I donāt think the review is for the OE Tire used on the 2025 BS since āThe Goodyear Wrangler Territory RT 235/65R17 tire was not standard equipment on the Trailhunter trimā
Same for the 2nd review for OEM on 24 Tacoma Trail hunter
Many times reviews for one tire get combined into reviews for a totally different tire which is what I think you are seeing.
Thanks for the reply. I was just looking at the reviews, so I figured I'd ask some folks here who actually have the tire. I wasn't aware of the size for the Tacoma; I have never owned one.

Whenever you look at reviews, you have to be sure it is for the product you are looking at which is often not the case with reviews
I'm having trouble finding reviews on this size. The Bronco Reddit has pretty poor reviews on larger sizes of this tire. I might opt for the Falkens, they seem well reviewed and are really cheap at the moment, probably because the AT3W has been replaced by the 4.
I'd hate to grab 4 of these and find out they aren't up to snuff in the Northeast Winters/weather. Thanks for the information.

Totally agree and I have the FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T4W Item number 28841790 Tire size 235/65R17 purchased at Discount Tire last summer $196 per tire, out the door $1,036.54. I would have purchased the Goodyear OE tires but they were not available at that time without the Wrangler logo. They became available early in 2025
The disadvantage of the Falkens I purchased is Tire weight (lbs) 38.2 which is significantly more than the Falken Wildpeak AT3w OEM (ā21-ā24 Bronco Sport optional tire) OEM part# 59000690 (for Ford) Tire size 235/65R17 with its Tire weight (lbs) 31
I decided not to purchase the OEM part# 59000690 because it was supposed to be end of life and I was considering getting 5 (use one new one as a spare) just in case Iād get a non repairable issue
It seems that the OEM part# 59000690 tire is still available and had I known it would be I would have purchased 4 of those instead

One other thing is I believe the larger size is the Light Truck rated tire which is much different from the SL Goodyears used on some 2025 Bronco Sports
I just bought five AT3Ws and asked about Discount Tire AT3W inventory and was told DT has a lot in stock and now with DT buying Tire Rack, maybe even more.
The $147ea AT3W is hard to pass up.
My backup choice was Yoko Geolander G015s.
DT bought TR in 2021, fully merged April of last year. Gotta keep up, man!

Both are still getting things straight according to DT's customer service rep. One website soon.

Last summer DT told me their total inventory across the US for the Falken Wildpeak AT3w OEM (ā21-ā24 Bronco Sport optional tire) OEM part# 59000690 was under 800 I believe
At the time DT stated they were expecting to exhaust their inventory well before end of 2025
But when you posted about your purchase on a different thread I was not sure you did get that OEM part# 59000690 tire ?
US Airlines are still cleaning up mergers from 15 years ago, so we should just be patient, I guess.
