My current 315/70R17 KO2’s are close to end of life so I have been on the hunt. I was pretty much set on some 35x11.5’s since I wanted something a bit narrower. Well it turns put the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT that comes on the Bronco Sasquatch is a rather narrow 315.
Next to my current 315’s
next to the 285/70R17 ko2 from my lexus
The other nice thing(depending on how you look at it) is they are 52 lbs:

Make sure you pick up some mud flaps because those things are stone grabbers, I just replaced them on my bronco with nitto recon grapplers and their 100% better.

I got em for $1000 for a a set of 5 so even if they arn't great im not gunna be mad. Anything else in a 35x11.5R17 would have cost me $1800-2200.
I have a very knowledgeable who has multiple bronco's and ran these on his 2011 F150 and said he really liked them. he did mention the stone issue though and I did notice when I picked them up that each once has like 10 rocks in the tread lol.

Those 315/70R17 Goodyear Territory tires are a scam for advertising the Broncos on 35's. I ordered a set to replace my 285/65R20s I was running, and ran into the same exact issue. I ended up returning them; one because of the size difference, and two I couldnt trust the tire. It is such a soft compound tire and the sidewalls are so weak, I couldnt run them offroad. Opted to just dish out the money for tires that I knew were going to be reliable.
Here is my post about the difference. Further down I compare them to the Toyos I opted for. Click Here
Pretty dissapointed that they are sold as 315/70, when they are more closely a 285/75. The Bronco guys swear they are 35's anytime they are confronted by the difference...

I bought them exactly because they weren't a true 315/70. They run as tall as my KO2 315/70's, they just arnt as wide. And if you look on the Tirerack/Discount tire spec pages, they show they are only a 9.2" tread width when a KO2 or other 315/70 is 10", so its not like they lied to you.
I saved $800-1000 vs a 35x11.5 so even if they dont last super long I still feel i did pretty well.
Ive been running these for about a month now and been pretty happy with them overall. I think I picked up about 1 mpg vs the KO2’s and the truck seems less strained. Hills where i was dropping to 5th before will now hold 6th.
I have not taken them offroad yet but not expecting anything weird.
