So I am about to buy these tires and I was wondering a few things...
1. How is the ride with these?
2. How is the road noise?
3. Will I need to lift my H2 to fit these?
4. If not, Will there be rubbing?
5. Does anyone have any complaints?
Thanks for the help...

I just installed 37x13.5x18 Mud Grapplers, so here goes...
(1) The ride is a bit rougher, and the truck wants to "follow" the road imperfections (can't wait to get my stabilizer installed). Acceleration and braking are noticeably impeded by the excess weight of these tires over OEM.
(2) They are VERY loud. Sounds like a small-engine airplane is with you the whole way.
(3) No.
(4) I have some light rubbing on the rear of the front fender wells when turning sharply, but given your 35x12.5 size, I doubt you'll get any at all (and the OEM tires are roughly 35x12.5, I think).
(5) Not really, just hoping that lifting the front via the torsion bars helps with the rubbing.

I have the 35x12.5 x20 open country muds becuase the dealer had both and the Nittos were much louder and a little rougher.

Thx for the info guys...
However since my roof rack rails had a run in with the parking garage...I think I might hold off a month to make the purchase, until I get new rails.
But now I know what I am getting into when I make the purchase so thanks again.

Well I was thinking the new ones might be a lil lower since there new in all, so maybe I could try and see if I fit then...
Comeon now...Honestly... Plus I already started looking. Thx for the advice. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
