He should be.
Fine. Get the Toyo M/T's or the KO's in 35". You'll be very pleased. The Toyo's are nice and quiet on the highway, too.

Re: Best All Around Tire?
The nitto terra grappler is nice. I am using the Toyo Mud Terrain tire at the moment and I hear the Toyo AT is nice too.

Re: Best All Around Tire?
I am runing the BFG All Terrain T/A on my H2. I have not had in problems with them at all. I ran them in the snow up in Flagstaff Az on some Off Road trail's and they did great. I have not had in problem with them in mud yet.
The frist set of tires that came with the Hummer (BFG All Terrain T/A ) I replace them at 52,000 Miles. My friend that is a manager at Discount Tire Store, told me that I got 5,000 miles over what they should be for tire wear, and I did do a lot of Off Roading with them.

Re: Best All Around Tire?
I dont think you can go wrong with a BFG A/T, untill the BFG M/T's I just bought for my H3 the A/T has been the tires I ran on the last 4 trucks I have owned. They last a long time, handle any terrain very well, look good, and are tough as nails. IMO BFG's are the best out there. I have tried several others and havent found a better one yet.

Re: Best All Around Tire?
Thanks all, from what I am hearin BFG T/A would continue to make me happy. I was always happy with them on my other rides and it sounds like a few others of you have found some other tires you like but many continue to like these as well.
Although I could go the billet route and get some blocks of rubber and create my own, then I could sipe them myself. (Actually I do have a family member with a rubber grooving tool for tires, who has done some very cool treads)...but for an on-road vehicle I think I'll pass
35"s How you guys doing with them? Like I said I have noticeable rubbing (not that I hear but I can see where they have) fom the stock 33's I would love the looks of the more aggressive T/A in 35" on my H3 but I don't want to lose travel. More info as you guys have lived with a 35" tire and off-roaded with it would be great!
Thanks to all.
BTW, those on the back of the semi-flat bed were my mine, I did a test fit and found they rubbed slightly more then a I cared for at full articulation. But man they looked killer
