Best tire for on and off road performance

[Russell-h3-alpha]

Hey guys. Im wanting to get a good tire set up right when I buy my truck. I was thinking about getting some toyo's the 35 inchers. But I am concerned with these taking away from my everyday driving. I hear they are amazing off road, but to be honest I will be driving my h3 on the street more than I will be offroad. I am now thinking of getting a 33 inch tire. would a Toyo 33" open country tire make a noitceable increase in performance off road. and will it let me retain more of the h3's acceleration on the street. If anyone thinks there is a better tire for my application let me know (ps I dont want a loud tire). Thanks russell

With mostly highway driving I'd stick with the 33's. 35's would only give you an additional inch of clearance anyway.

I haven't run the toyo's so I'm not much help there. If you don't like road noise take a look at the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor. On my last vehicle I went from the Bridgestone Dualer revo to the silent armor and the road noise was like night and day. The Silent Armors are very quiet. I only ran them a few times offroad before I traded the truck in but they seemed to do weel offroad too.

I'm still running the stock tires Bridgestone 285/75R-16 and they did fine on Fines and Things last weekend. We didn't even air down. So you don't have to be in a hurry to get rid of the stock tires. I'm at 20k miles.

Got a new set of BFG ATs (33") They're a lot better than the stockers, much more robustly built, and grip a lot better offroad and in the snot. On road, they handle well.

Toyo Mud Terrians or GoodYear Mud Terrains.. that is all..

Yea those 33 toyo open country tires look like the way to go for me. The give the truck a much more aggresive look, and im sure they help off road a bunch.
