What type of tire are you running and do you notice any lack of power going to 35s?

Thanks

I am currently runnin 35's with no noticeable loss of power. The only thing that is noticeable in my opinion is a slight loss in mpg...

One more thing...I checked my speedo against my GPS and it's only off 2 mph which isn't that bad considering...

Hi, my H3 came with H2 tires, which are:
BF Goodrich
Baja Champion
All-Terrain T/A KO
LT315/70R17
121 118R M+S

I don't have much to compare with
power and speed wise, but I like the tires!
I see 18 MPG which includes some up and down
travels over a canyon pass.

Now I need a plug-in hybrid car for
regular commuting with good mileage
and some electric-only silent travel!

OK, here's a picture of my H3 with H2 tires.


Another link in case that image reference doesn't work:

No, unfortunately it does not use H2 wheels.
That would be awesome.

Hummer engineers, please make the H4
use the same wheels as the H3 very easily...
(Sure hope some H4 engineers read this forum.)

Procomp Extreme AT's on the stock rims handle great in the snow!

I did notice a difference when switching between H3's. Kira has 33's on her H3 and it accelerates a little quicker. There really isn't much of an overall diff. other than the fact I fet about 10mpg on averag. I do quite a bit of MTN driving though.

I run ProComp Extremes 315/75R/16. No real difference that I notice. Maybe just a tic slower of the starts but the meat in the wheel wells ---Priceless !!!

I suspect running 35's on the H3 on the street requires tolerance, due to slowish acceleration and a lot of downshifting by the auto tranny. Of course use of low range offroad fixes that problem.

The base 32/33 setup with the existing powertrain and gearing is adequate on the road.

the 35's look great, but it looks a little tight up against the front bumper. any rubbing? did any of you have to raise the front at all? I wonder if the dealer would swap out the 33's for 315's when i pick it up? great looking rigs guys.

I love how those 35's look on your H3. Are they the 315/70-17 All-Terrains? What brand & model of wheels are those? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and yes, the tires are these, which are stock H2 tires,
I was told:

BF Goodrich
Baja Champion
All-Terrain T/A KO
LT315/70R17
121 118R M+S

I don't know the brand and model of my wheels!
Maybe I can find out from the dealer (Jerry Seiner in Salt Lake).
