Tire Comparison

[Gadgets]

Hi everyone,



I am starting the quest for new tires for my H2. Looking at moving to 37 inchers. But, because my H2 is my daily driver, I am trying to find a good tire that has high traction in mud (and snow if possible) but will not shake the truck, or make me have to yell at my passengers when talking because of the noise level when on the roads. I have been looking at all brands trying to find this balance, along with not killing gas mileage, remember it's my daily driver.



Looking for everyone's thoughts here.



thanks,

Brian

I already told you my opinion.

I just put on a set of 35x12.50R20 Cooper stt m/t's on my H3T, I've only had them on for two days but they've been great so far cutting through gummy clay mud and black dirt mud, clean out great. They do hum a little bit but only seem to notice it when I'm slowing down. They only offer a 37" in a 17" wheel though.



I am very impressed with their manners on pavement, rough gravel, and the few muddy roads I've had to traverse in the last two days. I got a smoking deal on them through discounttiredirect, saved over $1000 over buying Toyo's or Nittos Locally.



Hopefully this helps a little.

This is a bit older but real good . At the bottom of every tire you can read reports from people that have owned them . Try to stick North American if you can . Bfg , Micky , Pro Comp , Cooper , Good year ..I would suggest MTZ or KM-2 for you . KM-2 will be loud . Check this out and have fun . http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=& ... AwqtIzh1Mg

Beside… don't worry about road noise, that's why car radios where put in! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... oflmao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rotflmao:' />

Yes you did, and I was right, they were already on my list!

Yes it does help, that is the kind of info I am looking for, and hopefully help out others in the future. 17" is what I need. I think Cooper is one brand I have missed!



thanks

I was just on that site last night! Didn't get far into it though. Will have to dig deeper.
