I did install 33inch ,but I also had them removed and went back to 32.The dealer told me that its not a good idea to replace 32 with 33 because the computer in the H3 is reading for 32 not 33.Plus I didnt like the road noise of the BFG A/T.There is a picture of my H3 with the 33 inch tires,under general it was called 33inch tires couldnt resist.Page 3 about half way down.

You All will still wish you had 4.56:1 axle gears with the 33" tires especially with the 5cyl engine!

I spoke to my mechanic and he told me that I shouldnt have any problems with the 33 inch tires.If I was to go bigger than 33 ,then he told me I might have issues.

Boulder Hummer..... with lareger tires say 33" you would want the 4.56:1 axle ratio to keep performance, acceleration and mileage similar to stock. That is why the adventure package has 4.56 gears inaddition to providing more low end grunt when off road

as I had posted earlier...under Off road Suspension Tire and rims
Posted 06-16-05 08:22 AM
2.64:1 is the gear ratio of the transfer case reduction. This means that for every 2.64 turns of the input shaft of the t-case the output shaft turns only once.. That is why when in low range the engine is revving up and you are moving very slowly.

The Adventure package includes a 4.03:1 low-range transfer case.

As in axle gears too, the higher the number like 4.56:1 (numerically) means a lower gear ratio.

Lower gears are for power and torque and higher gears for top speed and or gas mileage

Boulder , I just wanted you to know that they just put Michelin LTX M/S 33 inch tires on my H3.I am more of an highway driver than off roader so I think these tires will suit me well.

I think it sits just fine the way it is.Like I said I do alot of highway driving with mine and this set up works for me.Besides I dont think there is a big diff in ground clearance between the the adv sus and base sus.
