There's nothing wrong with you, if you were planning on running the stock tires until it's time to replace them, then you've got problems :CWL:

I don't understand why Jeep or the dealer can't offer 35's as an option. We waste up to a thousand or more taking off the stock tires, buying 35's and maybe pay to re-gear. With the new Bronco you can get 35's and 4.70 gears from the factory. JEEP, are you listening????

I put 35's on my JLR less than 24 hours after taking delivery, that was just the beginning...

It’s a Jeep, you’re supposed to do that.
I put 37s on mine before it ever left the dealer lot. That was 2 months ago and I now have 39s.

I like how 33s look, the BFGs are good all around tires, and in my experience lift and tires can become a whole can of worms getting the Jeep to drive right again. 35s on 4.10 seems feasible, but anything bigger than that and I'd want to go to 4.73 gearing, which is another couple grand. Then there's the efficiency and performance loss from heavier tires and more rolling resistance. This thing is my daily, and clearance hasn't been an issue so far...

I pushed it down my priority list, and since I was able to transfer all my upgrades from my 2018 to my new '21, the only other thing I need at the moment is a winch. Maybe after that I'll try to sell my tires, while they still have plenty of life left in them, and go up a size.

Because technically, 35's don't fit. You also need a lift or limit your suspension articulation. People who say they fit haven't fully articulated their suspension. Because of that the Factory/Dealer won't want to offer it.

But given the Bronco factory options, I'd be surprised if we don't see a factory trim level w/ 35s+ soon. Either with a factory lift or some other way to fully articulate the suspension with 35s. Jeep is definitely listening...

Got my new Jeep the end of February.....wife asked how long before tires wheels etc. I said no rush, these are okay. By the first of April, I had new tires, wheels, and I installed the MOPAR lift. I may have gotten a few comments from her :CWL:
