Upgraded Pirelli’s Scorpion Tires

Got my BS BL cleaned up now with the new Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires placed on them. I repaced the Pirelli’s which did not last long - little over 20K miles. They wore evenly, just didn’t last as long as I expected. I picked the Falkens based on my experience at the Bronco Off-Roadeo. They have a nice appearance and performed well at the Off-Roadeo. They are surprisingly quiet as well on normal roads. I moved up in size from the 225/65/17 to the 235/65/17 size. The spare fit snugly also on the back. Raised the cargo lid to the higher setting and it closed up great. I did consider a 245 size but wasn’t sure if the spare would fit. The 235 fit perfectly. I purchased the BL in April of 2021 (manufacture date was March 2021) I luckily have had no recalls so far and no issues either since purchase. Wished the tires would have lasted a little longer-it’s at 22,000 miles yet I do like to look of the Falkens on it so not complaining!! FYI-the dealership matched Discount Tires price which was nice!! If interested-here’s my two year review.https://youtu.be/cRzbu1V5BOc?si=0atTF7VFdYfcJn_v

I honestly don’t understand why Ford did not make the Falken’s the standard tire for all Bronco Sport models. I was impressed with them at the Bronco Off-Roadeo. Liked how they performed as well as how they looked.

I fishtailed down an exit ramp going the speed limit in a stock 2007 A4 Quattro in the rain that I drove fast up in a base rwd Cayman with no issues, so you tell me

Thrilled myself. The Pirelli’s were just sad on the Bronco Sport.

My goodness. That would have made me switch tires right then.

Loved the Falken WildPeaks that I put on my Ranger FX4 . I'll probably put them on the BL when these factory KO2s wear down.

I had a similar experience at around 20k miles on them ! Running Firestone Destination AT2’s in 235/65/17 now! Couldn’t be happier so far. Functional in all conditions and that outline white letter looks sweet.

I think there is a knobbier Pirelli that. might do better than the stock scorpions but who knows. I won’t be trying them!

You will be saving yourself some money and headaches. They do not wear well not last long.

Indeed, all of the ones in New England I saw on lots had the Falkens. It seemed to be sort of a "standard" option for dealer inventory.

Those that have the Pirellis- did you have issues with them holding air? My 22 F-150 has them as issued from the factory and if the temp drops below 40 or so F they lose air pressure. It's annoying, and the dealers aren't really helpful. The most they say they can do is bust the bead and reseat them.

It's a lease that I'm planning to buy, and if I do they will come off for something a little more trustworthy, probably BFGs.
But the truck only has 14K miles so I'm not in a hurry to swap them out.

Thanks,

Because the Falkens do not get the fuel mileage and not everybody rides trails to need AT3W tires. But yes the Falkens I had on my BSBL kicked butt.
