Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 
I saw the tires at Homecoming in July. I asked the Hummer person why they made the change, because I said they looked stupid. She said it's the global tire for the H2, and they wanted (for whatever the hell reason) to have the same tire on the domestic H2. WTF? GFY Supremely Hard for making such a dumbass desicion. The A/T TA's got laughs from the H1 elite, these new tires will surely be the butt end of many jokes.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 
alot of the threads posted in recent months make me wonder if simply organizing some polls on the forum and sending a polite letter to the hummer folks, or organizing a group letter or whatever might not be a bad idea.

if they didn't know 36% of people take them offroad... well, maybe it wouldn't be impossible to influence some decisions and get the option of some really good tires.

Maybe its not completely impossible to get some kind of improved "adventure package". front locker wired into the auto-disconnect system, the slinky shocks from para's "i want one of these" thread, and a stainless front skid plate, and extended underbody protection.

But i'm not sure that backhanded insults aimed at H2 drivers at large are helpful to much of anything. I think the hummer world needs a big injection of positivity.

Good for you it sounds like you made the right decision for your non offroading, mileage caring, bling liking self! Now Go to the denali forum and get them all to pat you on the back as well! Way to go you are way smarter than all of us DUMMER owners! Oh and when you want to take it to moab or tellico, give me a call, I would love to see its "capability" out on the trails.

I agree with you. HUMMER needs to take more input from owners like those that post on this forum. This concerns what options the vehicles need, how to run the advertising, and how to promote a better image.

We could all protest by congregating and throwing a large number of Goodyear ATs into the bay, like at the Boston Tea Party.

I like the GYs

In pictures the new GYs look like minivan tires. But in person they're not bad. The tread isn't bad at all. I'm curious to see how they'd perform on snow and ice.
