tire rub

[hms79]

My 1996 is totally stock with 32x11.50s and I have no rubbing problems. Everything on my Bronco is stock. I am even thinking of going to 33's. Funny, I've never heard of 32's rubbing

it happens. every truck behaves slightly different. maybe the tech adjusted your steering stops when your tires were installed

This is why I believe if you are not going to lift the bronco, you should just stick with 31x10.50s. I have looked at 33's, I am told that they do not rub, I also hear tell of 33x10.50s, although the only ones I find are 33x12.50s. I need the tires, because my very aggressive mud tires that were on it when I bought it are going bald. I need a good semi aggressive tire, something that won't slick over with mud, but won't wear out on the highway. A good 31x10.50 is what I will probably buy, but I keep finding closeout prices on 33's at some of my neighborhood tire stores. With no lift planned, I am at a crossroad. Has anyone ever had 33's and no rub on a stock bronco? If not, I will stay with 31 or 32's.

there are plenty of cases of no-rub 33's on stock broncos. just go with the 33s

Yeah, probably looking like I will. For some reason, around here it looks like that will save me money. Pretty sad, bigger tires, cheaper???? I guess there are just a lot of red necks around here. >-

33X10.50R15 fit on every stock Bronco I've ever tried them on. There are a few companies that make that size now, used to be pretty rare.

Not nearly as common as a 33X12.50R15 which there are lots of cheap tire choices available, after all the tire will only control how your Bronco wil go, turn & stop.
