Need pic or it didn’t happen. Any time I have deviated from BF Goodrich atko I have regretted it. The tread depth is superior and they last longer, look better.
In addition to the better engine it’s important to consider the Badlands twin clutch AWD system which provides significant traction advantages in snow and sand as well as off road. It’s an incredible technology that makes the Badlands far more capable and durable than it appears. Read here...
I have a 22 BS Badlands with BF goodrich 245/65/17s, which is as wide/big as you can go before rubbing the tires into the rear of the front fender at full turn. Even if you lift the car, you'd still need bigger wheel wells to avoid rubbing.
I also have a 4-door Wildtrak.
From what I see, this...
Hopefully you have a Badlands, which sits a bit higher anyway and has the more powerful engine. Not sure I would want bigger circumference if I had the 3-cylinder (lose some acceleration).
But didn’t you add a small lift on your car? If so I wouldn’t want to assume the will fit without they lift (on my badlands). Thanks for your help!
Now that there are enough people who have upgraded tires, these two sizes rise to the top for biggest tire you can fit with no mods. Would like to hear from people who have done it.
