stock tires and wheels

[IRA51]

I bought a 2003 H2 and it has 22 inch wheels and low profile street tires.I would like to do some off roading and would like to know if there is any advantage to going to 37x1250-17 tires on 17x10 inch wheels over the stock 8.5x17 inch wheels and 315/70-17 tires .I don't plan on lifting the truck but will put the Fabtech hd tie rods on it . I have been told the 37/1250-17 tires won't rub on it. if anyone who has any experience with this let me know B4 I make the purchase . I have the stock 17x8.5 h2 wheels but no tires and if I use the stock wheels I was planing on useing the BFG at ko's in 315/70x17 unless there is something better. any help would be greatly apresheated .

The narrower rim will be able to be deflated more and not lose the bead like the wider rim. It most likely will not stick out as far as the wider rim. with that large of tire, backspacing will determine how much you scrub your tires on the truck.....

ok ,so would a goodyear wrangler MTR in 37/1250-17 on the stock H2 rim be a good way to go for a non lifted H2 ?

I think the BFG MTs and Cooper STTs are better off road tires in the same size for less money. I've owned all three on different vehicles. I have the Coopers now.

Go to your Good Year store for MRTs. out the door $495 each.

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS A TIRE!!!?!?!?!?!

Damn... You got a ATM attached to your chest?

There are a lot better tires for less money.

I presonally like Procomp Xterrains, but there are a lot of other alternatives as well.

$500 a TIRE?!??!

Sheesh... I'm still blown away.

For $500 they should at least be 24s...
