Best tire for on and off road performance
 

Hey guys. Im wanting to get a good tire set up right when I buy my truck. I was thinking about getting some toyo's the 35 inchers. But I am concerned with these taking away from my everyday driving. I hear they are amazing off road, but to be honest I will be driving my h3 on the street more than I will be offroad. I am now thinking of getting a 33 inch tire. would a Toyo 33" open country tire make a noitceable increase in performance off road. and will it let me retain more of the h3's acceleration on the street. If anyone thinks there is a better tire for my application let me know (ps I dont want a loud tire). Thanks russell

With mostly highway driving I'd stick with the 33's. 35's would only give you an additional inch of clearance anyway.

I haven't run the toyo's so I'm not much help there. If you don't like road noise take a look at the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor. On my last vehicle I went from the Bridgestone Dualer revo to the silent armor and the road noise was like night and day. The Silent Armors are very quiet. I only ran them a few times offroad before I traded the truck in but they seemed to do weel offroad too.

I'm still running the stock tires Bridgestone 285/75R-16 and they did fine on Fines and Things last weekend. We didn't even air down. So you don't have to be in a hurry to get rid of the stock tires. I'm at 20k miles.

Good Question...

I'd like to see the answers also...

Got a new set of BFG ATs (33") They're a lot better than the stockers, much more robustly built, and grip a lot better offroad and in the snot. On road, they handle well.

Toyo Mud Terrians or GoodYear Mud Terrains.. that is all..

Re: Best tire for on and off road performance
 

Yea those 33 toyo open country tires look like the way to go for me. The give the truck a much more aggresive look, and im sure they help off road a bunch.
