Re: off-roading on my new Procomp M/T's
Definitely a mean looking tire. I like it. Keep us posted on pavement feel and performance.

Re: off-roading on my new Procomp M/T's
I forgot to add the specs; these are 33's (33.1" according to manufacturer) LT285/75/R16 - D load range, 3-ply sidewalls. I wanted Hummer recommended/stock size to stay within factory specs for now; maybe at some point later I'll upgrade to 35's, but I was concerned about street performance with 35" set since I drive the truck daily around the town. I practically feel like having a new vehicle after I got rid of the 20" set and removed low-hanging chrome nerf bars - huge improvement in the side's clearance - not worried when climbing over terrain now. I may install the OEM rocker bars for protection.
Tires seem quiet on the road (I expected worse), only when turning the noise sometimes increases a bit, I guess the rough sides make more contact with the pavement that way. Dealer inflated them to 35psi and that's where I left them for now. I think I can air down significantly if needed (once I get onboard compressor). These ProComps are also supposed to be very resistant to punctures - very important to me because the terrain we have here.. finally - ProComps are Made in U.S.A.
here is the manufacturer link:

Sweet...I was sold on the BFG 315/75/16 MT's. Now I've gotta find your tire in 35 inches. That looks awesome...nice rig.

Re: off-roading on my new Procomp M/T's
nice, ya thats what im doing im moving up but only to 33". Im gonna go with the Bridgestone Dueler all terrains, becuase i need it to stil be covered under my tire warranty. The way everyone in my family goes through tires becuase of nails, that is a major necessaity. How is it wheeling with those compared to the 32's? And about the low haning nerf bars, what i do with mine is i take em on and off. Whenever i head to some places for wheeling that i know i need the extra clearence i jsut crawl under the car and take em off about 30 minutes to get em off. Mine are black though so it doesnt take away from the intesity of the vehicle.

..I originaly wanted 33" Duelers too - but then my dealer offered M/T's for only little more (because they asked fortune for D load Duelers already, so the $ difference was small at that point). Seems that there are several version of Duelers supplied by Hummer (and by dealers as replacement), some are only C load rated ( Dueler A/T RH-S for instance?). I don't know how much it matters, but I'd probably want the stronger one (D load rated) - I saw them in person and they look strong. Yes, the nerf bars are easy to remove and reinstall - driver side has tighter access though but OK. I doubt that I'll reinstall mine, however they possibly prevent dents on the parking lots...so, maybe...but truck looks so much better without them, not to mention 20" of side's vertical clearance now..can't beat that.

thanks! - it was about time for me to get decent ones, I was long overdue; I've been looking for tires since early September.. now I need to get that compressor mentioned earlier, and maybe a few more usefull things. I don't have rear locker (base H3), so I may be able to offset that somewhat by airing down a bit?

Re: off-roading on my new Procomp M/T's
woah so your telling me those were offered through your dealer!?!?! I gotta see what mine has! As for the nerf bars preventing dents yes. By far at least 5 times ive seen people open the door and smack the bars with their door. Leaving a nice size dent in there door and nothing on mine. And then they get pissed at me haha. IT really helped once some old person hit my car while backing in but only got the nerf bar so it just dented the bracket a bit instead of scractching and denting my whole car.

yes, I purchased these through my Hummer dealer; they ordered 5 tires, 5 sensors and sold me 5 take-off rims thay had in stock already (I didn't have stockers). I took the vehicle in and they did the swap while I was hanging around/waiting. Then they loaded my oversized 20's on the pickup truck, followed me home and unloaded to my garage. It wasn't cheap purchase, but I have now warranty through the dealer, and not through some discount outlet or online seller that may be hard to deal with - if there is a problem with the tire (puncture etc), sensor or anything else, I'll just go to the dealer with it.
You may be right about the nerf bars - but maybe some of those aftermarket rockers that stick out more then OEM's would do the same job as nerf bars, while not hanging low but still preventing the parking lot dents? Think I've seen a set by FabTech(?) around the forum, they had steps too and not too low placement.

You can still do a lot without the locker.

Big Dad, none yet... I haven't had them in thick mud or in Sand... But rock crawling they do great.... But, I went from the BFG AT to the Procomps. So this is my first set of Muds... A little bit more noise then the BFG AT's but not much...

Re: off-roading on my new Procomp M/T's
Great Look.
Did you have to crank your torsion bars any? Do they rub anywhere?
