Looking to buy - rims and tires

Hi Folks,



I'm in the process of preparing to sell my beloved '03 H2 and need some tires / rims for her. Alas I ended up with a bum BFG Mud-terrain that's ruined my other one. They've discontinued the tires that I'm running in my size (37.5x12.5x17) so looks like my only choice is to replace all 4 skins...



I'm looking to get something either lightly used or new that would do the job to sell her. I'll buy new if I have to but figured I'd check for another option first.



So, if anyone has a set of OEM rims they'd like to part with and / or tires I'd be interested. I'm in Ottawa so am prepared for shipping if I can find anyone looking to sell.



Thanks for reading!



Cheers,



Colin Taylor

'03 H2

I got 5 Goodyear Wranglers that came on my new H2. They got around 12,000kms on them 315/70/17's. When GM replaces my rims I am putting on MTZ's so my OEM tires will be for sale. I'm in Nova Scotia.

True enough, although I love Nova Scotia!  <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... >/grin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';D' />



Ottawa hasn't panned out too well on the used front, at least not for truck tires. Any suggestions on where to look / call in Toronto?



Ideally I'd love to be able to buy 2 BFG Mud-Terrain (37x12.5x17) which is what I'm running now. If they were new I could deal with just 1 to get the job done. Seems like BFG has discontinued that size in that model and now they have a new KM2 design / tread-pattern.
