I’ll do an initial review. Most tires have a softer compound for the first 3/32” or 10k mikes so you’re happier with the performance and comfort of the tire. I’m te reviews all use brand new tires. Once the tread wear down the tire acts differently and you forget the first few months of ownership.
I think the three cylinder is anemic compote the four cylinder. I don’t think there’s much of an appearance difference between 225 and 235. Going to a 245 is a bigger tire and will kick on the turbo which will make the mpg suffer. I have the badlands so I could go with the 245 but I’m sticking...
Possibly true. I have Scorpions on there now and they are good in the water during the rain, drive comfortably and brake well. That’s all I can say, otherwise I don’t like them. They get holes in them a don’t hood up. Lots of the testing is subjective. In the rain I turn on “slippery” so that...
Stay with a 235 size if you want to still keep the higher mpg that the 3 cylinder provides over the four cylinder. A 245/65 tire size would knock 3-5mpg off the vehicle and that little engine would work harder. The Falken wildpeak a/t trail in a 235 would be a good bet. I’ll report back on the...
I’m going with the BF Goodrich Trail Terrain 235/65/r17 108T. It clicked off the boxes and I’m not using the vehicle other than light off road and as a daily driver. Low Noise and MPG plus good snow and rain traction. The 245s starts getting heavier and I wanted to maintain the gas mileage.
100%. I had bought a new 2022 Bronco sport to replace my 2022 badlands with 11k miles. In the course of 2-3 weeks the car lost about $6k in wholesale value. I went from making $500 and a brand new BS Badlands to loosing 3-5k less than my x-plan pricing. The swap never happened.
Thanks. I went over to Costco today and today is the last day of the $150 off. I spoke to the tire manager john and he said that the full price of $815 for the set of 4 needed to be paid for in full. He did say that he could honor the price past today for a few weeks. I’m pretty sure if I asked...
It would just be temporary until I get the funds. Way too many bills and a $700 a month Bronco sport payment, insurance and gas, etc. I wouldn’t be taking the vehicle off road with the mismatched staggered size dimensions, so no need to me worry about premature wear on the Dana dual vector rear...
You took care of the car. The car was probably sold the next day for $22k. Also you sold at the peak of the pandemic-supply chain, no inventory on the car lots. Those days are long gone so carmax isn’t handing out blank checks.
I noticed that Costco was doing a $150 rebate on BF Goodrich tires. So I priced out a set of Falken Wildpeaks AT Terrains at $789 with tax at tire rack. Installed I’m looking at $900+. From everything I can tell they are a better all season, general use of road tire than the BF Goodrich Trail...
The ford Bronco Sport is a front wheel bias vehicle. Assuming I’m going up from 225 to a 235 size and don’t intend to run the GOAT mode in an all wheel drive mode and I stay on dry pavement I’m not sure if this would be detrimental over 1,000 or 2,000 miles? Until I can pay for the other 2 tires...
Just wondering if I can run a 235/65/17 in either in front or the rear and run the stock 225/65/17 without hurting the rear end on my badlands? I ran over a bottle and more than likely slashed the tire and the current spare tire was patched by running over a larger metal object, but not holding...
I am selling my Bronco Sport 2022 -$40k. Low miles 9,800 and 8 months old with 3 year and 36,000 mile factory warranty. Tow package, engine block heater, Co-Pilot 360 plus and more. I am located in Santa Monica, CA
Gas is $6.50 a gallon so the idea of better mpg is a deciding factor. The big Bronco is nice so is the Bronco Sport. It’s like comparing the Ranger to a full size F150. Although the difference in size between the broncos is as great? I would say that you don’t mind paying the extra $$ for the...
I have a Badlands and in city traffic I get 21-22mpg if I drive it lightly. It’s not a huge concern because I’m usually not going very far. Gas prices are $6 a gallon at Costco and $6.50+ elsewhere.
Look at the Toyota Rav 4. Toyota interiors are nice and the seats are very good. Lexus is nicer, but you pay for the name. I would have gotten a RAV4 but I liked the Tacoma, the Tacoma got crappy gas mileage and was $$$. I did find a used 2021 Tacoma but Toyota wouldn’t let me takeover my...
