33" Toyo MT's - sick!

[Humm3r]

Just got em earlier today! Waiting on the spare to come in.

[H3Eric]

Very cool!!!

[Ipedog]

Wow! Those tires kick a$$ and take names! Very, very cool!

[Humm3r]

Thanks

I still haven't decided if I'm going to adjust the torsion bars or keep it where it sits now. What do you guys think?

[Mike E]

Awesome!

[DDWH]

Looks Sweet!

[Adam^_^]

hows the noise?

[Humm3r]

very quiet, but you definitely feel the road more. Very light hum.

[hmrlvr]

Those look very good. I hope you plan on getting them muddy.

[Sewie]

Those look awesome! Did you have to wait for them or were they in stock?

If he/they did....have them in stock, I'm going to be seriously pessed.

[DarthKarl]

How much did they cost you?

[Humm3r]

They only had 4 at the Toyo warehouse. I might have to wait a few weeks for the spare.

Cost $225 a tire installed.

They look sweet!

I'm drooling...

[H3HUMVEE]

Those are incredible .. What size are they, do they seem to reduce your power any?

[Humm3r]

Thanks for the compliments.....I've got to thank "Kacyk" for his write up on these tires.

They're 285/75/r16's. They're a bit heavier than the stock 33's, but loss of power isn't an issue at all. They're pretty much the same exact size as the stock tires, maybe a 1/8" taller. But on the rim, they look 'much' bigger.

Also, it's amazing how quiet they are. At 75 mph, the sound of the wind is louder than the tires. No noticeable change in "noise", just a different sound.

Earlier today, I parked right next to a luxury package H3 with the 32" Goodyears. The Toyo's dwarfed them.

[HURF]

Here is my $.02,,,,

From the Motor City

"No way in HELL would I put a set of Toyo's,,Yokohama's,,or Fujimama's"

On my American made H3 or my CJ7

That being said,,,Aggressive tires really make an H3 "Pop"

Good point HURF. Unfortunatedly this narrows the choices down to two:http://www.usstuff.com/cartires.htm. Which would you go for? Which model?

No, you're right HURF. ProComps are U.S. made too. I meant the big companies with the most off-road experience like BFG's, Firestone/Bridgestone, Yoko's, etc.
So what are your comments on the Super Swamper, then? (Are the tires made in the U.S. as well as the company head-quartered in the U.S>?).

"Off Road Experience"???

Do you really think it matters (influence your wheeling performance)if the tire company you are running has the most off road experience?

I have run BFG MT's and AT's

They work well

Swampers are US owned and I believe they manufacture in the US and Mexico.


Mickey Thompson Claws/ Dick Cepec's are nice also.

Good call on the Toyos imo...

Yes, I believe that that results in more customer/user feedback, better R&D, and ultimately better reliability and service/warranty. That is a generality, I know, and I do ignore it from time to time as when I promised myself not to get the 2006 H3 as it is a 1st year model (i.e. without experience) but I went and got it anyways....

[HURF]

Maybe 20 yrs ago,

Now a days with all the Off Road tires out there,,

For what the "Average Weekend Wheeler" sees,,

The difference between say a $89 Mud King (No R&D),,,and a $150 BFG MT (Millions on R&D) is negligable

But if that is inportant to you,,,The smaller "specialized tire makers" Like Super Swampers,,Mickey Thompson,,Dick Cepek are very focused/and well respective in their Race Proven Technology.

And are usually cheaper than the Big Names,,BFG,,Goodyear,Brigestone

I have seen very few ripped sidewallls or stuck trucks,, where 1-2 more ply's,, or a more expensive model,, would have made a diff

Fujimama low profiles and Fart cans belong on "Tuners"

Im looking at a set of TrXus made by Interco tire . same size about the same money . Made in the USA and there a very good all around tire . Quite on the road , excellent rock tire and do well in mud . Iv been running the 34 12.50 on my Grand and am vrey pleased with them .

Im not knocking your tire choice and it does look very nice . Just throwing out an option that im aware of .

[ETD]

Thanks for the info HURF. Trying to by Made in USA, I think it's gonna be between SuperSwamper Radial SSR and ProComp Radial Xterrain...
