At about 750 miles I swapped out my Dueler 33s for the BFG AT/KO 33s and love them. I know wish I had gone ahead and moved up to 35s, guess on the next set. If you are going to swap them out, don't go with the Duelers.

What do you plan to do with them? Do you plan on using them off road or is Mall Crawling the thing for you?

If you're going to buy tires, buy some tires and move right up to the 315's (35").

I agree with Newbie. Don't get the Duelers.

I have 5 of the stock 33 inch wheels and tires with 9000 miles on four of them. No cupping or uneven wear. The spare has yet to have seen road as well. PM me if you are interested. They have already been rotated twice as well

I got the 35's, I love driving it to the mall especially when it's covered with mud. In fact, I love driving it anywhere when it is covered with mud! It makes people look. One time I drove it to San Francisco.

road most of the time, weekend off roader, no mudder, too much sand here. I was thinking the BF but the Nittito Grappler seems less exspensive. on the 33 what tire mesurement am i looking for and will 35's even fit with the 16 factory rim? I am on a budget. All purpose should be fine.

No rum green with the 35? make and size please do i can get some quotes.

[usetosellhummer]

rub, sorry, are the 35's loud as hell? I drive freeway 40 miles a day

The percentage change is so minimal that it would be well within any boundaries set by the manufacturer.

Let's put it this way: there are several others running 35s that have broke something or the other while wheeling and have been covered under warranty. The first thing that would happen if it was far out of the realm would be GM wouldn't honor the warranty of those running 35s. But they are.

Do the 35s..... DO IT!

BTW, I'm dyslexic at times...... I thought you typed 53s... sorry.

I have the stock 33's on the hummer that came with the adventure package and am impressed with how quiet they are on the road. I have the BFG A/T TA Radial 33" x 12.5" on my bronco. Great tires and extremely quiet for such an aggressive tread, although they barely fit in the wheel wells without a lift kit. They really fill up the wheel wells, which is one of my biggest complaints about the H3's. Not sure if the BFG's would fit on the H3 and if they would affect turning radius. I think you could even go with the 35", as the clearance may be more critical for width than height.
Another bonus with the 12.5" footprint is that they really float over soft sand. I hardly ever need to pressure down on the beaches around here in that rig.
You could go with the Mud Terrain's, but more loud on the road and shorter tread life. Probably not a good option for your 40 mile hwy commute.
Hope this helps.

NEVER SCRIMP ON TIRES!!!!

I'm very happy with my BFG MT km's. They are a newer version having been redesigned for this year. More miles (they say 55K) and quieter, along with some other improvements in tread and sidewall strength.

Like I said way above I really like the BFG AT KO's but I wish I had gotten M/T's. The only reason I wish I had M/T's though is because of mud. These things are amazing in loose stuff, wet stuff, and rock. They kick ass everywhere except the sticky mud. If you've got no mud then this would seem top be an excellent compromise. I run the 315/75R16's and had no rubbing until I cranked the t-bars. As it is now the rubbing is minimal and doesn't effect drivability one bit. Just polishes the sway bars a wee bit.

edit: Added text:

You might want to consider the Mickey Thompson MTZ's. They are a good price, look to have a serious tread and are siped. I was given a recommendation to get these but they weren't available in my size at the time. If I were doing it over these would be on the short list.
