Bronco wheels & tires mounted on my STX

Sounds nice, show pics.

Great looking tires and rims with the velocity blue.

I still have my stx center caps and could have used them but I like the Bronco center caps better.

I’m curious what you feel is the right inflation pressure for those. I have the same rim and tire takeoffs and tried calculating the correct PSI objectively but it ended up feeling too low while driving.

I have those on my Lariat and I think the flat black look great with my black appearance package.

Did you have 18" rims and go to 17" rims?

Mavis tire inflated my tires to 35psi. It seems to be the correct psi. What psi are your tires?

17 inch with 265/70 General Grabers.

How was the tire shop involved? Had the seller dismounted the tires from the rims to remove the TPMS sensors?

In my research I found that the 5th gen Ranger Tremor (same tire) and Bronco Black Diamond both called for 39 psi on their door stickers. My 2024 Lariat with factory Goodyear Wranglers has 30 psi on the door sticker. I started with 35 and 37 psi but it didn't feel like it rolled as easily until I finally went to 39. Keep in mind the General Grabbers are C load range LT tires whereas the Wranglers are passenger tires, so that partly explains the higher pressures.

No the tires, rims and TPMS were all together. Mavis removed the TPMS from my original rims and installed them in the Bronco rims. The General Grabber has a deeper and more aggressive tread. A higher psi would give a rougher ride , is my thought.

So the takeoffs came with TPMS installed but you had the tire shop swap over the sensors from your original rims? Why? I just installed the takeoffs as they came and after a few miles the truck relearned all the new sensors.

Running at the recommended psi may be less comfortable but that’s part of the trade off of C load range vs P metric tires. Running under inflated can improve comfort but adds wear and tear.

This is the way Mavis wanted to do it and i agree to it.

35 to 37 is the recommended psi, so I'm ok with 35psi.

I have the same tires (got Bronco steelie take offs), and I set to 35 also. Played around with the pressures, that seemed to be most comfortable.

I picked up four Bronco black diamond 265 70 17 tires and rims off marketplace for my stx Ranger. I was looking for the black on black look and I'm happy with the results.

Very sharp looking truck !
The Bronco wheels look great!

I have those same General Grabbers on my work truck, they will likely be what I put on the ranger next. Great winter performance.
