No, you're right HURF. ProComps are U.S. made too. I meant the big companies with the most off-road experience like BFG's, Firestone/Bridgestone, Yoko's, etc.
So what are your comments on the Super Swamper, then? (Are the tires made in the U.S. as well as the company head-quartered in the U.S>?). </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
"Off Road Experience"???
Do you really think it matters (influence your wheeling performance)if the tire company you are running has the most off road experience?
I have run BFG MT's and AT's
They work well
Swampers are US owned and I believe they manufacture in the US and Mexico.
Mickey Thompson Claws/ Dick Cepec's are nice also.

They only had 4 at the Toyo warehouse. I might have to wait a few weeks for the spare.
Cost $225 a tire installed.

Yes, I believe that that results in more customer/user feedback, better R&D, and ultimately better reliability and service/warranty. That is a generality, I know, and I do ignore it from time to time as when I promised myself not to get the 2006 H3 as it is a 1st year model (i.e. without experience) but I went and got it anyways....

Those are incredible .. What size are they, do they seem to reduce your power any?

Thanks
I still haven't decided if I'm going to adjust the torsion bars or keep it where it sits now. What do you guys think?

Here is my $.02,,,,
From the Motor City
"No way in HELL would I put a set of Toyo's,,Yokohama's,,or Fujimama's"
On my American made H3 or my CJ7
That being said,,,Aggressive tires really make an H3 "Pop"

Maybe 20 yrs ago,
Now a days with all the Off Road tires out there,,
For what the "Average Weekend Wheeler" sees,,
The difference between say a $89 Mud King (No R&D),,,and a $150 BFG MT (Millions on R&D) is negligable
But if that is inportant to you,,,The smaller "specialized tire makers" Like Super Swampers,,Mickey Thompson,,Dick Cepek are very focused/and well respective in their Race Proven Technology.
And are usually cheaper than the Big Names,,BFG,,Goodyear,Brigestone
I have seen very few ripped sidewallls or stuck trucks,, where 1-2 more ply's,, or a more expensive model,, would have made a diff
Fujimama low profiles and Fart cans belong on "Tuners"
