With Hydroplanning, this will depend on how fast the vehicle was going and how much tread is on the tire. Have you had the tires inspected to see what your tread depths were on the tires at 32nds of an inch? That would help answer the question.

i wonder what tires that crosstrek had? Thank you for your support @Chief of the Boat .

This is a tricky question, as it most depends on what sizes we are comparing. If we are comparing 235/65R17, it'll mostly come down to pricing, style, warranties, & slight trade offs. The reason being is that the AT3w's in this size are the OE option for the Bronco Sport. As such, this...

The optional OE tire would be the Wildpeak AT3w, part# 59000690. Load rating of 104, H speed rating, coming in at 29" OD, 9.5" sidewall to sidewall (footprint at 6.6"). The AT trails in the same size is the run of the mill, which will look pretty much what we market on our website (tread...

that's typically the case. However, since the 235s (part# 59000690) is OE, I'm pretty sure it was made lighter than a 225 in order to meet MPG/braking/acceleration criteria for Ford.

^^^THIS. The BFG Trail Terrain is kind of a odd tire. It looks to be a competitor to our WIldpeak AT Trail, though they have quiet a bit of sizes that fit into the proper A/T category. The AT trails are more for crossovers and unibody vehicles (like the Bronco Sport), which the Trail Terrain...

The 235s is a OE version of the AT3w, so it had to meet certain criteria for the vehicle it was originally going on. Without knowing the full details, I would say there was a weight criteria to meet, hence why it weights less than the 225s. We get this question regarding the C and E load...

Sometimes during transportation, they'll overinflate to prevent any flat spotting from occuring. This can also occur when vehicles sit on the lot for an extended period of time (pre-covid) I'm going to take a shot here. We don't recommend filling tires when they are "hot" after a drive as air...

The width of the actual wheel.

the data books are on their way to our office, so could you provide the width of the OEM wheel? This will help in figuring out what sizes can fit the wheel. Sincerely,

The Bronco Sports are a new platform that we are trying to learn about in terms of plus sizing. I believe 275's may not clear the vehicle as it is not the truck-based Bronco that has a lot of clearance. After coming back from SEMA, 245s seem to be the norm for the Bronco Sports in terms of...

Hello Justin, yes, we handled North American market. As for the Canadian region specifically, any warranty inquiries would go back through your original seller or an authorized dealer/distributor like NTD, Tire Discounter, or Volco Tire, to name a few.

I'll send you a PM soon.

Copy that. In regards to the hydroplaning, at what speed do you experience this at? Is it during standing puddles of water? regular wet roads?

Hello Chief, when did you purchase the AT3w's & from where? What tire size do you have and the air pressure you run them at?

Lets break this down. To start, the factory size was 225/65R17 SL, load rating of 102, speed rating H, set at 33 PSI (set by Ford to match their MPG claims, payload/towing capacity) Since this is not a P225/65, we'll use the ETRTO standard load inflation chart. Based on load rating of 102...

If Ford saved and sent this tire in to us or their distributor, we can evaluate it further. We'll simply need their 6-7 digit claim number so I can track it on my end. From my experience, this could be impact/cut/road hazard, leading to runflat damage based on the darker tone in the upper...

We don't advise using tire shine as it stops the natural outgasing/coating of the tire. However, if needed, I would recommend using only water-based tire shine product as it would still allow the tire to breathe. A product I use occasionally is the Meguiar's Hyper Dressing, which doesn't dry out...

I'll give you the legal response & the technically correct response Factory load capacity is 1758 lbs per tire at 33PSI. We must match or exceed this. This is Ford's recommendation & baseline to match their payload/towing claims as well as fuel mileage. Since the new tire size 245/65R17 is...

What is your OEM tire size and pressure? I would like this in order to get a baseline for load capacity and adjust to the new tire size.
