i doubt you will find anything quiter than the TOYO :D

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

Why AT's instead of MT's? :confused:

If you're going to spend $$$ on tires, then get some TIRES not some tires... :rolleyes:

Get some TOYO MT's. There are many here that can attest to their worth. I doubt that you'll be unhappy. :D

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

Isn't the 33" a 285?

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

I have found talking tires is alot like talking politics, relogion, and lending money. Eveyone had an opinion and the truth is very hard to find. The tire does not make the Hummer. The pilot does.

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

Hmmm... Feeling sassy today? :rolleyes: :D

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

I can understand that. I wish I could go! Damn geography! :mad: :rolleyes: ;) :D

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

To answer a few questions:

I would be upgrading from the 32" goodyears. The reason I am considering going to only a 33" AT is because the larger the tire and tread pattern, the greater the drag. This will result in lost accelleration and MPG. Thsi will be my daily driver (40+ miles of freeway daily) and I won't be doing any hadcore off roading, just light stuff so I dont nee MT. I may consider 35" if the power and mpg loss are minimal.

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

OK, makes sense now. Curious why the BFG AT wasn't in your list then?

As far as 35's go, I didn't notice a major loss in performance, and I haven't really paid attention to the mpg so far. The H3 is my DD also, about a 40 mile round-trip commute. But I got the 35's more for clearance than just for looks. Although, they do look sweet! :cool: :D

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

I have had two sets of BFG AT on my F-150. They’ve been great, lasted about 40k and are starting to getting noisy. I would like to try something else unless everything else is inferior, I would probably stick with the BGF.

You said that you had not noticed any major power loss. Can you elaborate?

By the way, I notice you are in the bay area. My wife and I will be up there next weekend, first time in SF.

Re: Vote Which Tire ?
 

To be honest, I'm not sure I could even feel a difference. And if so, I'm just used to it now. But I never felt the H3 was underpowered, so the folks that are looking for more HP, this is probably not the upgrade for you.

I'm about 45mins south of SF. Despite the nuts up there, theres some cool stuff to see/do. Have fun! I'll be on my way to Moab! :D

I have 35" BFG AT KO's on my truck and use it as a DD, also with about a 40 mile round trip. I have kept a log of my milage since the very start and get a solid 15mpg overall average. I use a spreadsheet formula that factors in the number of rev/mile (according to the tire MFG.) and according to it my mileage has remained basically constant. If you want to see a copy of the spreadsheet just let me know.

I do have one comment on the KO's. They suck in sticky mud. Out west where its dry they must totally rock, but here in the northeast I wish I had bought a siped MT instead. They clog in the mud and become slicks. Thats my $.02, take it for what its worth.
