okay, I read all of the posts regarding bigger size tires, couldnt find the answer I am looking for, maybe someone can help. my H3 came with the offroad package except the tires that came with Goodyear 32s. (265/75)
I want to upgrade to 33s or 285s, I found BFG (285/75) and also found Mickey Thompson 33x12.5 and 33x11.5 (all for 16 inch rims)
what is REALLY worrying me is the 7.5' rim width, I DONT want to change the OEM rims, but I am worried about the 7.5 width on 33s. bearing in mind that I do EXTENSIVE offroading mainly on soft sand and sometimes rocky hills.
whille offroading on soft sands I usually air down to 5 PSI on my Chevy Blazer ZR2 with 31x10.5 BFG KO AT. I tried airing down to 15 PSI on my H3 it didnt work, I went further down to 10 PSI, some improvement but still not enough grip like the BFG, plus my H3 is heavier than my ZR2. if I air down more I am afriad the tire will come off the rim.
so I decided to go for 33s, but I am confused about the 7.5 width. which 33 should I put and air down to 5 without loosing the tire off the rim while offroading. anyone has any experience with this on the H3. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR PIMPY STREET TIRES, my interest is offroad.
