They do not desereve that tag. Toyo M/T's are the best option in the aftermarket, if you can find them in your area. oh and welcome to the U-boat commander!

Just remember, a tires tread is designed for forward/reverse motion, not for sideways sliding down rocks or mud. Some will naturally not slide sideways as easily.

Door seals may not help when you are in 30" or more of water, depending on what part of the truck is submerged. I belive the reason the H2 is rated at 4" less than the h3 in fording capability is due to some electroncs in the engine bay mounted at that level??? Someone cofirm. I know the air intake for the engine is much higher that 20" (it over the 35" wheel).

it also does have to do with the door seals. The H3 has triple seals on hte doors. The H2 has 2.
