Big Tires for BS Badlands

[Meanderthal]

Thanks for your ideas, spent some time at a brand new Discount Tire, the manager and his crew went all out and was learning as they were trying a few different tires , they definitely are right on with your pick , so when I get back from Florida , I have a set of cooper 235/70/17 to try out on my bronco . I will follow up down the road with a report on how they are . How is your project on your rebadge front end coming along. Thanks again .

Not much progress on the grille letters yet.

@Jrl ,

Thanks for the shout out!

I'm glad the new store was able to take the time to test fit different tire options for you.

Look forward to your review on how they perform.

That's great that you found your favorite tire store, It's like finding a good mechanic, someone you can trust with your tire needs.

Better tire on wet road? Here in the Caribbean we do not have show, but hurricane season and rain. But good enough for ocasional off-roading.

I had the Hankook Kinergy tires that are great in wet weather, They are similar to the Michelin Cross Climate 2

2022 badlands
1.25” HRG Lift
245/70r17 BFG KO2
Fifteen52 wheels
Rough country nudge bar
Magnaflow dual exhaust
Rhino Rack pioneer platform

Help! I really want the Nudge bar, but two repair places keep saying they can do it, then later say they can't. Can you clarify how you mounted it? Apparently it's missing an entire bar for support that's missing on the Badlands.

It was determined that the part I'm missing on the Badlands is the radiator support crossmember! (part 16138) I "think" that that's all I need in order to install the RC nudge bar. Any other Badlands owners out there that have or don't have this part?

There is no better looking tire on a Sport than a KO2. I think it is heavy for the 1.5L, but for a BL, it's perfect.

@ShadowHunter,

The BFGoodrich does make your ride look rugged good! Great pics!
