Hi-
I ordered a basic package H3, which comes with standard 32' tires. I didn't order adventure package because I know I'm not gonna go offroad. BUT! I want 33' tires because they might look cool. Is 33' tires noticebly larger than 32'? or is it negligible? When my car arrives, can the dealer remove 33' tires from another H3 on the lot and install them on my H3 if I pay extra? Thank you~~

I wouldn't pay the difference. Just get yourself a set of good aftermarket 33's, ie. BFG A/T's. Instead of the adequate tires that they come with. Then sell the OEM tires you've got for a couple of bucks.

they can but like ric says buy em yourself the dealer will most likely rape you.

Monkey I just put 33inch BFG A/T on mine and they look awesome plus the tread is much more aggressive looking than the stock tire.I did sell my old tires for $300 bucks to my brother inlaw.

First hummer, would you sell your new BFG A/T to me for $300? I'll give you my stock 32" tires. Deal?

Wow 33' (feet) tires.

My are only 33'' (inches).

A lot of the 32'' tires at the dealership I saw were not very aggressive tread pattern. Maybe made for a softer quieter ride.

The tires from the factory are a poor excuse for off-road tires. They really need to be changed out if you're going off road. Otherwise, the first mud hole is going to "stick" you.

does anyone know if the clearance from the tire to the fender is the same with the basic package and the adventure, meaning would the 33's on the basic package look good. Is the up graded suspension higher up??
thanks guys
dealer told me 5 weeks for my h3 loaded, chrome pack,,,,

I think you would want the 4.56:1 axle gears (Adventure Packacke) with 33" tires!

boulderhummer 06-27-2005 05:54 PM

thanks dan,,,figured as much,, i may buy a more aggressive 32" tire for mine..the ones it comes with are definetely geared for mostly street driving..

Jk I did just that replaced 32 with 33 on stock rims.Just remmember you will not get the same ride with aggressive tread tire.I have BFG A/T and they are loud on highway.There is also a chance that the computer in the H3 might go off because of the difference.Mine hasnt so far and its been over 600 miles since I changed them.
