smaller tires on H3 ALPHA Adventure?
 
yoooo.. its been a while! hey i got a new travel trailer (Lance 1685) and I tow it with my H3. I almost need new tires and I was thinking about getting 32's rather than the stock size of 33.

is it safe to assume that with the 32's I will get:
better gas mileage overall?
better power?
better towing?

what do you think?
I have a superchips cortex, and while the hummer can tow the trailer I would like more power if possible.

If you go with smaller tires you'll rack up miles faster on your H3.

Keep the 33's they hold up better.
I tow a fun finder 189 with the 3.5 you should have plenty of power with the V8

The difference between the 33 and 32 is negligable. You would barely notice any difference at all. I vote stay with 33's.

3,200 lbs dry .
I think fully loaded im under or about 4,000 lbs.
I just use a friction swaybar.
I towed 15,000miles + miles so far.
tows like a dream except for those long mid west hills,you have to feather down to 50mph or it will drop down to 2nd gear (about 3,600 rpms)
I passed a big rig at 80 mph+ no sway nice and tight(no side wind that day)
