Outside of the Jeep having a possible allergic reaction, don’t see why not.

 

Tires don’t care what vehicle they are on.

 

The “allergic reaction” is exactly why I am apprehensive about.
No, tires don’t care but the Jeep might. Hence my apprehensive feeling.
I just need reassurance that I am not going to screw myself just trying to save $$$.

 

What size tires are on your Jeep?

 

255/75/17

 

You're golden, Jeep may be miffed for a while.

 

What do you mean miffed? Like alignment??

 

Tires are measured to a given dimension.
For example
255/75-17

255= Tires section width in millimeters

75= The two-digit number after the width, separated by a slash, indicates the tire's height as a percentage of its width. In this case the height of the tire is 75% of its width.

17= Rim size

Lastly, a tire is designed to carry a certain load.

With this in mind, it should be understood a tire size of 255/75-17 will be very similar in size regardless of the brand or vehicle it came off of.

With this said, a Ford Bronco Big Bend has a 255/75-17 tire in stock form and it has a curb weight of between 4297 and 4467 lbs.

In comparison.

The curb weight of a Jeep Wrangler JL (2-door) Willys is around 3,948 pounds, while the Jeep Wrangler JLU (4-door) Willys has a curb weight of 4167 lbs.

To answer your question, Yes a set of take-off tires from a modern Ford Bronco will fit onto your Jeep Willys and be safe in doing such.

In addition, these tires will very likely perform better on the street than the tires which came on your Jeep from the factory.

What you will be giving up is some offroad capability and some subjective appearance of a knobby tire.

 

Thank you

 

I have to switch out the rims too anyway so alignment is highly likely a given.

 

No problem. I bought some bronco wheels and tires cheap. Put the new tires on my Sahara. Same size as mine. Sold the bronco wheels later for the same price I paid for wheels and tires. Brand new tires for free.

 

Awesome. Us Jeepers need to do what we gotta do. Thanks again.,

 

If you ever decide to descend into the bottomless pit that is old Jeeps, you'll be very surprised at what different manufacturer's parts fit in or on a Jeep, even (or maybe especially) engine parts.

 

Tires will be OK as long as they don't have a oval on them

 

Oval?? What do you mean?? I already bought them but can you explain??

 

Oval, as in Blue Oval AKA a Ford Emblem or nameplate.




Good Luck, L.M.
