Best Tires for the Ford Bronco

This is the OEM tire that came with my 2023 bronco wildtrak. You all know this snow storm that swapped away across the US end of January 2026... So I decided to go on a winter snowmobile trail. Its near Lake George, NY. And the road up to some scenic views are closed to normal cars because roads were basically ice or snow in freezing temp. I went all the way up with just 4 auto . Note that I have about 36000 miles on this OEM tire. When I was up there I got off to see the views and holy molly it was slippery. I could barely walk. These tires are so darn good in snow and ice that it surprised me. When I went down, I got a ticket as the cop was waiting for me LOL . He was like how the hell did you get up there. I think its close to if not the best snow and ice performing tire I've ever owned. I also drove to Colorade engineering pass without any problems. I drove on sand and it also performed great. The road noices are a bit there but overall its not really bad. Only gripe would be that they run small. Like a 315/70/r17 should be 34.4 inch but I feel like mine are 33 inch at most. But they are light @ 54 lbs where falken at4w are like 74 lbs . AND THEY ARE CHEAP on walmart. Going at around 230 a piece. So if you're not a heavy duty rock crawler, its a good compromise.

So far so good, really happy with them in all conditions so far, including a little snow

As an AT4W owner with 37k KM's (now at roughly 16/32mm of treadlife left), I have a set of LT 285/70/17 on a 2DR Bronco and some days they exceed my expectations and others fall short. I've driven around Ontario, out east around PEI and Nova Scotia, down south through Michigan and Chicago so I've driven them in all elements. For example, driving through a Michigan blizzard, Northern Ontario back-road snow and ice, I felt remarkably comfortable, but city turning in the fall after it's been raining for an hour? I look like "that guy" throwing my back end out or driving through a larger than expected puddle of water, it gets floaty.

I wished I could have gotten a set of AT3W's based on how well they were received, but the AT4W's don't live up to my expectations as a year round tire. Because Ontario gets all 4 seasons, I'll probably end up using these for warm springs/Summer and get a dedicated winter. Perhaps the P-rated spec would've been a better choice for me because of the LT's harder compound and lack of wet performance but I'm not sure.

Pros:
Comfortable
Dead quiet for an AT tire
Deep Snow / Dry Pavement
Off Road
Doesn't throw rocks nearly as bad as the Bridgestone Dueler AT's

Cons:
Wet / Slush
Freezing cold "dry" pavement (-10 to -30 Celcius)

Overall generally impressed with the AT4W's, disappointed in its city winter/wet performance but back roads year-round the AT4W excels. This is my first set of 3PMS AT Tire, so I don't have an AT baseline to compare to. Finally, I'd give them a 7.5/10 based on its warm weather performance, off-road capability and deep snow confidence but deductions in wet performance and predictability/confidence.

It’s a good all around tire and great value. I give it very high marks for sand traction, probably a 8 or 9.

I thought I'd try these out as they were cheaper than the KO3s. So far so good, dramatic improvement in steering over the KO2s and from some wet running, a lot more wet grip. I don't have any snow or ice driving yet but will update in the future.

So far so good, I like them. Nice and comfortable and quiet. Solid offroad.

We have really enjoyed these tires. Primary use is on road, but gravel road, dirt road and off road, and snow/ice are all important to us as we have many outdoor hobbies, and this vehicle is used for all of them. The compromise of these tires is rather good, great grip on pavement and dirt/gravel and snow, but not ice. Dedicated winter tires are drastically better than these on ice. Everywhere else though, these are rather good for a road biased AT tire. Wet traction in particular is really good for an AT tire. Noise is not bad except from 40 to 47 mph on paved roads, in that small range the tires make a somewhat intrusive hum that can be heard and felt, at all other speeds though the noise is not so noticeable. No measurable change has occurred in fuel economy, same as the shallow tread depth OE highway tires.
