Re: Got my new wheels and tires! 35" Mud Grapplers!
well had the new 315/75 toyos put on the stock rims friday and man the look sweet on the truck. its unbelievable how much better the rig looks with some real tires on there. They do hit the sway bar at full lock seems worse when turning left, but the truck turns so sharp anyways its not a problem. took the ol lady mall crawling this weekend (didnt tell her how much they were just that I needed ones and she didnt complain so she deserved it) and even she didnt complain about the minute humm on the highway. but she did say they were a little big, haha women. they really are almost as quite as the sock wranglers and the look is every bit as good as i thought it would be. also the trip home is just under 200 miles and then some driving around town and not once did i feel a difference in power. Im not a race car driver and I know my H3 isnt a race car, that might have something to do with that. But anyways, half a tank to get home just like before so the mpg must not have changed all that much either. Did math got 16.6mpg (and thats not factoring in the difference in the new tire size) used to be between 17 and 18.
Thanks to all on the forum for the help. pictures will come tomorrow after work if i can find where i stuck my camera. brush guard lights should be here in a week or so too. might have some questions for installing them too. you guys rock, thanks.
