Re: 35's New Rig!
 
Tires and rims looks killer. I am going to move up to 35's as well in the next couple of weeks, I am finanly going to replace my stock adventures tires with 35's at about 34k miles.

Looks great! i have a white H3 as well and enjoy all of the pics of wheel tire combos to give me ideas. How much are the 35's affecting mileage and takeoff power?

I only have noticed 2-3 mpg difference, but i came from a 12mpg lincoln that only liked to dine on premium..so anything seems better than that. Also my odometer is off due to the increased size. I only notice the drag when pulling my boat uphill and even then I have a manual so I can downshift. I was worried about the acceleration decrease as well...it seems to affect some people more than others. Nomoyello has a great point though...you aren't going to win any races. When I put 33's on my 4-cyl wrangler I noticed a way bigger difference--5th gear was mostly unusable. The H3 is geared better and the difference to me is worth it.

tires look hot ! wheeling is a skill built up over time and with the company of good people. I stick my 3 just to give the H1 owners something to do.:giggling:

I know what you mean! I had a '99 c5 vette and a '06 Dodge Cummins, but I still enjoy the nimble handling of the H3.. I put 33's on a '02 Wrangler X 6 cyl myself and it did dog it down on a lot of hills..
