Tire Size effect on CV axles

[MC117]

I just hit 30k miles on my maverick and am thinking about getting some new tires for the upcoming winter. I'm curious if going to a 245/65/17 will cause any potential issues with my cv axels? I have the stock scorpions on rn.

You won't have any potential issues with the cv axels tho, that size is a very popular upgrade tire size here and on the Bronco Sport forum as well

Ive had 245/65/17 now for about 20k miles. So far so good on axles. 2-3 mpg loss tho but the extra traction and .5” ground clearance gain is worth it. Multiply odometer reading by 1.035 for acurate results.
