Ford Bronco Tires

Ford’s Bronco started its run in 1966 as a simple, utilitarian little Jeep-like 4WD, available as a roadster, truck, or hard-topped “wagon.” In later years, the Bronco was built on the F150 platform and included Custom, Lariat, XL, XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Ranger XLT trim levels. The Bronco was discontinued in ‘96 with Ford concentrating on the 4-door Explorer and Expedition models. Then in 2021, after a 25-year hiatus, the Bronco name was revived for a 2-door or 4-door model with styling that calls to mind the squared-off 1st-generation Bronco of decades ago. The latter-day Bronco is powered by a 300 hp 2.3L Ford EcoBoost 4-cyl or 330 hp 2.7L V6 and is available with several packages and trim levels, including models tailored for offroading with extra ride height, oversized tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and ruggedized suspension.

Our team went through the catalog and rounded up the best Ford Bronco tires, including premium all-season, all-terrain, and winter tire options. We then ranked them in Best-Great-Good order and used our SimpleScore system to determine a numerical value for longevity, traction, and handling for each tire. Ready? Let’s zoom in for a closer look:

The Ford Bronco is designed to be equally at home off the pavement as on the highway, so we’re kicking this list off with our choice for the best all-terrain tire, the Toyo Open Country A-T III. The Toyo Open Country A-T III is a confident performer and just the kind of tire that you can rely on to get the job done when you go off the pavement in sand, snow, mud, or rocks. That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to compromise on the low noise, ride comfort, responsive handling, and good road manners that you’d expect from some of the best all-season tires. That might sound like we’re setting the bar pretty high, but the Toyo Open Country
