2021 Bronco Won't Come With Goodyear "Wrangler" Branded Tires For Some Obvious Reason

Make no mistake, the 2021 Bronco is Ford's way of trying to drive the Jeep Wrangler into extinction or at least flatten its sales trajectory. Sure, the Wrangler has the V8 and plug-in hybrid aces up its sleeve for the time being, but it's clear the Bronco will claim a large portion of potential Wrangler customers, with the only question being how quickly Ford can take its share. Because of this fierce rivalry, Ford has reportedly requested that one of the Bronco's tire suppliers, Goodyear, alter the castings of its "Wrangler" all-terrain tire to hide the model name when installed on the Bronco, so as not to give Jeep free advertising.

Hey Ford, If the Bronco is so good you should be glad to keep the Wrangler name on the tires. Customers will see the Bronco name plastered all over the vehicle, look at the tires and think " I am glad I did not buy a Wrangler".

Maybe you should change your name From Ford so I won't remember that I bought a Ford Pinto.

Is there no other 35" tire that they could have chosen?

Haha that’s funny, they should ask them brand them as Broncos instead. Could lead to a trend in tire naming by car makers with special models.

With as many tires as they will need, they should have contracted for tires with the Bronco name and emblem on them.
