rear

the one concern is this small plastic flange i think i will cut it back with a razor knife

here you see 33's on a 20 inch rim compare to my 35's on the stock 16's

compare tires here

a few more

nice shot of U/C pro.

this plastic flange is the only thing thats close to rubbing

Hey Neo -

Where did you get them and how much? (if you don't mind )

They look great! are those mounted on stock wheels without a lift kit on your H3? How's the clearance when off roading? It looks a little tight!

Those Toyo MTs look great on your machine. I really like the look, that might be my next set only slightly smaller. I think being quiet is a HUGE bonus for that aggressive of a tread. Your wheelwell clearance doesn't look that bad, just makes sure you twist the suspension to its limit (toughest test for rear end), cut the wheels hard all the way in a steep descending position(always toughest on the front end), and climb it to make sure nothing rubs. I've always been partial to the Toyo MTs and Goodyear MTRs. I can tell you from my experience with them on two vehicles the Goodyear MTRs perform well with bullet proof sidewalls, but are loud, even when they are aired up to street pressures, so the Toyos will probably be my next tires after these ATSs.

Looks awesome Neo!

NEO- MORE GREAT PICS!

now, on that little plastic thing you want to cut with a razor knife.....

I hit on mine. That's the only thing I hit with the 35's. There is metal behind that plastic. So, I'm not sure what it's for, but it may be part of a support for something???

Nice tires. I too am going round n' round about which tires to upgrade to. To go USA or Nipponese. Procomps (USA) are not highly regarded on another thread. Mickey T's and Super Swampers maybe the USA's only hope (not counting the super specialized, read $$$$, tires). Toyo's and BFG's are the strong Nipponese contenders. Did you look into any of the USA candidates? Ahh. Choices, choices.

Do those have the triple side wall or just a dual sidewall?

hey Ipe , i got them thru big O . they are my service and tire vendor on my light duty trucks so i got a pretty good deal 5 mounted out the door $1250.00 not too bad considering they list over 300 apiece . look around and try to check americas tire and tire pros too have seen real good prices from them online . they will show list price and then usually an option for local dealer price . the dealer price should allways be lower . try to pit one against the other in a bidding war or just throw a price out and try dealing from there .

photon , yes they are on stock wheels 16 x 7.5 have only tested on the course at hummer . i am going on a local hummer happening on the 25th of this month it will be the first real world test then moab next month so will have lots of test info in about 5 weeks . yes they are 3 ply sidewalls and heres some more info and yes they are very tight

hey jim , sounds like you have a great plan . this tire in a 33x16 would probably be perfect for you .



<span class="ev_code_GREEN">!!!!! for those considering what i have done !!!!!</span>



i need to let everyone know if they feel their truck is underpowered on highway , or they like to drive 80 mph , or still want to get close to 20 mpg , are worried about alittle tire rub , or thinks their truck shifts too much on hills . THIS MOD IS NOT FOR YOU . but if you dont mind cruisin at 65 to 70 , down shifting on hills and having a little rubbing in extreem conditions , and dont mind trimming a little plastic (no need to if not going extreem wheelin) , then this mod is for you

thanx sewie feel free to use these pics bro

hey tim thanks man , how bad are yours rubbing on that little piece ? i have only gotten very close to touching it so far . i noticed the second piece today while under there . they have a fastner away from the flange and i could add an extra screw or bolt after i cut it . the platic raps around but you can make it flap with your hand so not to secure . i think the plasic piece keeps mud from going between the lower plastic rocker piece and the metal piece behind it , i thought it was thicker plastic behind there i have only reached in not gotten up in there yet but seemed flexable . i will keep updating when i trim it . i need to research that better , i can try to get an exploded view of rocker assembly and see how those pieces go together . stay tuned we may end up trimmin these in the parking lot of the GONZO LOL
