The OEM tires on the SUT look so damn small for some reason as has been pointed out!
What does everyone think about the Nitto Dune Grapplers??? They have a better look to them and will probably perform as well as the OEM's. Not any bigger but they may look bigger with their style!!
Input???

^^ What everyone else said. ^^
If you're going to stay with 35s, might as well get a tire that really looks good. Toyo M/Ts come to mind.

Just trying to figure out what kind of H2 owner you are:
Off road?
No Off road
Snow/ Ice?
Street Only?
Keep in mind if you go to a 13.50 wide tire on the stck rim (and you have air susp.) you put great risk of hitting the sensor for the air susp. (placed in rear wheel well). When auring down for off roading you can hit that sensor, and than your bags can deflate or "pop." I had that happen on my 03 w/ 37 X 12.50 BFG MT's on the stock rims. I was aired down to about 18 psi though.
If you plan on off roading 37's add a little more clearance and fill the wells up nice! 35's offer more room to flex. 35" on 18" rim is a great combo too. I have run those BFG MT's in snow/ ice and they bring the pucker factor! I have hearrd the Toyo's are better, but that's not first hand either.

Off road only. My other car is for daily use. The terrain around here, however, is desert hill sand rock. Not much mud and certainly no snow or ice!! This is why I was thinking that specific mud tires would not be as practical for me as an all terrain that's a bit wider than stock.
What do you think?

Drty, can you run those on stock size wheels??? Really don't want to have to change out the wheels as well.
