Cooper AT3s are legit while being cheap and great on all surfaces.

Those are 245/75R17, that's almost 32" in diameter. That's gonna rub like hell.

245/65R17 will be the max for stock suspension and even that size (29.5") is probably going to require some trimming.

Was planing on lifting the truck as soon as I can

We know for sure 235/65R17 will fit. I'd bet 245/65R17 would work as well. Would give you just a bit more width and height than the 235/65 without having to trim or modify too much if at all.

Plenty of options in that size too. Toyo Open Country AT3 or Falken Wildpeak AT3W would be among my top choices.

It's a good looking size on the Bronco Sport, definitely the size I'd consider on my Maverick. 245/65r17 pictured below.

thats a sharp looking suv! i dont hate nor love the bronco sport but in black with those tires it does look very sharp. I bet they would look and do great on the maverick as well. would go through snow with the awd easy peezy i bet

I did a Sunday lot tour yesterday and one of my local Ford dealers has been selling the Bronco Sports with wheel and tire packages. They had 10 on the lot and one had the wheel/tire package with 245/65R17 Wildpeaks. They look great and filled up the fenders much better than the stocker 225 Continentals. No signs of lift to fit them. I was thinking of 235s but after seeing the 245s, I may go up. Wildpeaks are now OEM on Jeep Rubicons and get great reviews, so I'm going with them.

My fly fishing buddy has these on his upgraded adventurer cross trek. They are a very good tire. We have no issues getting into the back parts of the forest to fly fish in all trail conditions. We have a lot of red clay and it is like ice when dry and wet cement in rainy conditions but the tires just go about their business. The ride home on pavement isn't rough or loud. We are in the Southeast if that helps.

Just a quick question if anyone knows- I have an old wheel with 245/65R17 tire on it I used for my old F100 as a spare. Can I expect to use this wheel as a spare on my new maverick? Is it too early to tell?

Thanks

I would really doubt that your F100 had a metric, 108mm bolt circle for the lugs,,,

245/65R17 Toyo Open Country AT3’s for me. Will be going straight from the dealership to DiscountTire. They’re giving $400 for the factory tires towards my purchase. I have a build week of 9/13, will report back with pics.

What's the diff between my 9/20 build and your 9/13? oh yeah 7 days LOL!

Please do as I'm considering doing the same.

Sorry, not sure I understand your question.

Sorry, not sure I understand your question.

How much do you plan on paying discount tire?
