host? Did you just take video? You can do a photo album on here or just post individual pics. If you're not sure on how to do this, send me a PM with your info. and I'll walk you through it.

Can't wait to see those pics.

HAH!!! Photo Album.. now there's a good idea... well I figured out how to host it the hard way... I'll make a photo album when i get home from work...

These are the TOYO M/T Open Counrty tires I put on my H3 with the adventure package... 285/75R16 on the factory wheel.

I bet they'll be better than my BFG MT's on my SUT. Those Toyo's arer siped so that will be a plus. I think this will be the first winter for that tire for everyone. It's new!

Yeah they are new... and a real pain to get.. but the price per tire was great... $195 was a good price imo from Les Schwab.

Mark, those tires should have been standard on the H3. That looks absolutely mesmerizing! I have business in Renton so I might see you around.

Not a lot of Yellow H3's out there with meaty Toyo M/T's! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Hey Kacyk: Make sure you honk and wave if ya see me... I just talked my buddy into buying an H3 (well I let him drive mine). He picked his up last week.

Funny story about those tires... I just put them on my Jeep Wrangler a month earlier and when I was trading it in I had it parked next to the H3. My buddy pointed out they were the same size as the factory ones.. Thats all she wrote... made them swap with my jeep tires http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

@Mark805: Do your Toyo tires have a MS mark (like the standard OEM tires have)? I really would love to buy that Toyo tires, if I only knew if they are good on snow (because that's one of the main reasons I bought my H3 for). Can you please post a closeup of the tire's profile?

go to Toyo's web (http://www.toyo.com) and they talk about what the tires are rated for. Also do a search on Yahoo and you can find tire reviews also.

Took it up to Steven Pass today an did some skiing...

These tires are awesome... the deep lugs help in deeper snow and I was quite happy on the ice. Didn't notice much difference really from dry pavement... except the whole antilock brakes and stuff kicking in http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
