Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

Seen a magazine ad with an H2 with goodyears...just wondering..

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

I got my 06 h2 on the 27th of June and it had Goodrich on it.

Really? Which tire? Pictures - DEW NOW!!!!

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

Ya know I have been asked to post pics before, and I'm have no idea as to how that is done. I will have to ask my son when I see him this weekend.

My H2 has BFG All Terrain T/A's. 315 X 70 X 16.
Bought 6-20-06

:D :D

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

Was it a Goodyear tire ad? Or a HUMMER ad?

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

Or a Michelin ad?

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

It was a FULL two page add of a H2 "floating in the air" with water coming off spinning tires, you can see the underside of the H2...on the spare you can read Goodyear AT EXTREME, and I think WRANGLER.

It was a HUMMER ad, 3rd page of National Geographic ADVENTURE mag SEP. 2006 Says "picture of an 2007 H2"

Tires look like wimmpy street treads!!!

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

All 2007 H2s will have Goodyear tires on them. Same size (315/70/17), just a different brand, from BFG to Goodyear

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

They look like crap.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

The Goodyear looks like ****! Someone at corporate needs help pulling their head out of their ass. :confused:

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

They should come stock with the toyo m/t's... :)

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

I just checked the Goodyear website and this is the same tire in the ad

http://www.goodyeartires.com/goodyeartireselector/display_tire.jsp?prodline=Wrangler+AT+Extreme&mrkt area=Light+Truck&treadwidth=&aspectratio=&rimdiame ter=&sidewall=

even shows the tire on a hummer rim....my moms Lincoln tires look more aggressive that those!!!:mad:

probablywhy they show the 4 tires spinning in the ad...you can't see the weak ass golf cart tires....

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

That sucks hpefully BFG will still be an option. GM really wants these to be street queens WTF? I just dont get the marketing, etc. All that is new is more bling and sh!tty tires fcuk that.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

Street bling makes more money, yo. That's why we probably won't ever see a REAL HUMMER with a SFA and all the offroad goodies Jeep is putting into their new rigs.:mad: :rolleyes:

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

I just got the bible of 4X4 catalogues (almost 1,200 pages of supplier & product listings), and the amount of stuff in there for Jeeps is staggering... and the amounts of items in there for Hummers is not worth mentioning unless your blinging your rigs. One thing for sure is that the H3 will soon surpass the H2 in aftermarket items, the market is responding very favorably to the owners of those units.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

well, to offer some counter to the indictment of the H2 for its independent front suspension

-i think the H1 guys originally ragged on the H2 for not having 4-wheel IDS, no? Real hummers have 4-wheel IDS and so forth?

-sometimes solid axles in the front aren't so great (or the back for that matter). Just a simple example would be that driving through some tall grass in my jeep while a friend followed in the H2, i took an awful blow to axle that was just a poke at the skid plate on the H2. Tall grass, couldn't see the rock. In an H1, you'd have just plopped on by with nothing at all. If the H2 had the same clearance as it has now, but IDS both places, it wouldn't have required any caution.

I know that isn't the kidn of wheeling that you've said you prefer, phil (i think i've seen you post that you liked rock crawling the best), and this isn't some competitive thing or whatever else, but i think its insanely relaxing to just mosey (sp?) around the country where pickups fear to tread. Its alot less relaxing when you also fear to tread.

I built a little strap-on "warning" thing for the front skid that is just lower than the rear diff's clearance to kind of give warning for the tiems you have to pamper the solid rear diff when in tall brush or grass. If a rock that threatens the rear is present, it hits that (hopefully) to warn you to be careful. I can post a picture if anybody cares.

Also, in snow i can't imagine an H2 has any chance of keeping up with an H1 due to lower clearance and more stuff to drag (the rear axle), and more weight. I don't mean 2" of snow making sort of muddy stuff, i mean 2 feet (edit by my coworkers request: 2 feet or more of packed drifts) of drifted snow you have to whale your way through.

And again, snow might not mean anything to you guys, but it will ultimately define for me whether my H2 is good or just ok offroad in my eyes.

Hence i simply offer that i'm not entirely sad about having IFS. And i like the ride quality. :)

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

There just aren't enough H2s sold to justify a big aftermarket, maybe? If one assumes the same % of H2's, H3's, LR3s, and Wranglers go offroad, then you'd maybe have

most parts for wranglers
then FJs/Tacos
then H3s
Then H2s
then JR3s
then Mercedes G500s

Market drives design, or so the saying goes, and there's no point in designed aftermarket offroad parts for a Benz that sells 1500 units a year. H3's have probably already pased H2s for unit sales, FJs probably will soon, etc.



And on a side note rleated to my snow comments: i'm gonig to feel like a monkeys rear if the H2 can't out-plow a 3/4 ton pickup this winter, as probably half a dozen hunter-friends have begged me to drive them around during hunting season. SO SCREW SOLID FRONT AXLES! hee hee :D :D :D

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

the h2 is great in the snow...we have moved a few mountains" with 2x4s plywood and bungee cords, real plow will probably be a miracle

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

man, i hope its good in snow. when i say plow i just mean shove itself through 3 foot drifts and ditches and stuff.

my neighbor bought a 3/4 suburban with an 8 liter, and gave it a lift and got 33 inch tires. (he's a very nice guy and means this in fun) And he says the reason was to make sure i didn't have the best hunting truck. lol. his theory is that the wider tires on my truck will be my doom. It will take years to live it down if my hummer gets schooled by some farm trucks with a ton or two of sand bags in the back. :D :O :D

EDIT: see, if you take a big farm truck and load it up, by the time you're stuck you sometimes have to crawl out the window as the snow is too deep to open the door. that isn't some internet jabber, people just like to hunt and have fun and tell stories about their silliness, so they get a little carried away.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

i guess time and the weather will tell...dont forget the pics...

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

Those tires look like the belong on low end Chevy Cheyennes for the work fleet......0 on the aggressiveness meter!:mad: :mad:

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

:D hahaha! :D

Oh, that reminds me. I'm late for my Extreme curling match.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

You guys might as well sell em, and get a Denali! I getting 14.1 mpg now and my Goodyears are very quiet. Oh yeah, the mirrors fold better, it has more cargo space, holds 7 CD's and to top it off it has DRL's and driving lights.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

Way Extreme! you could crawl over some serious concrete parking stops at the mall with those! :cool: They look like ASS. :confused:

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

How long do you figure it will be before there available for 22" size rims?:p

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

:D :D :D I continue to love this quote.

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

on the topic of the tires and not my off topic chatter, much like the "i want one of these" thread and associated, its a shame they didn't opt for something like toyos, at least as an option. That would save many folks a chunk of change

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

X2 and a bumpin set o' Spinners, Yo Bitches! what up! :D :D :D

Re: Do the new hummer h2 come with Goodyears?
 

funny:D
