off-roading on my new Procomp M/T's

I'm really starting to dig Procomps.

Their new M/Ts are more agressive looking though. Less artsy.

Wow!! That is a big improvement on their old M/T. Hard to beat their frequent buy 3 get 1 free deals, and they put siping on their tires. imho a must up in the northwest.

I got these in 37s (3 for 4!) and the are so choice!

The BFG M/T 35s I had on before took 10 - 15oz to balance the tires.

These Procomps were averaging about 2-3oz to balance. That says alot for an M/T. Especially 37"s.

And they're even worst to find now. I heard they were all stock piled in Cali where the fire has made them abandon the warehouse temporarily.

They're shuffling available ones everywhere because of the demand and the main stock held up. Our dealer had 8 pairs here 2 weeks ago and some dude in Nebraska took them all. He would have taken all 12 pairs but I got my meathooks on em 3 days before.

all right! so how are they ?

for me, while good on the street, they seem to shine in the terrain - I don't have rear locker but I feel that these tires help offset it quite a bit. I went off-road today for a few hours once again and although it can take some serious spinning when climbing through the steeper hill (dirt, with deeper ruts and sharp rocks), the tires will eventually find the traction and get me through (however this rougher terrain leaves occasional marks on the treads unfortunately due to those sharp rocks).

From all the posts I've been reading about 35's it seems that they?re great if you use your H3 mainly for off-roading or/and if you want really sharp, tough look. However, 33's (M/T) seem to be perfect match for both street and off-road. I feel that there isn't any performance impact, 33's don't require any modification of the ride height, and 33's leave plenty of space in the wheel wells for the tires to move (and turn) freely while in rough terrain without any rubbing worth to mention or any other side-effects. 35's are higher, quite wider, and can be heavy too (Toyos about 70 pounds?). Oh well, this all has been discussed before. Whatever works. While 35? tire is apparently impressive, I disagree that 33's are waste of $$$ - they do great job off-road, just returned from the day trip once again, been whole day on the trail today (Indio and Joshua Tree NP area). But, one thing I probably want to install soon is front leveling kit - besides the better look (level!) it should create even more clearance in the front wheel wells. Also some better/stronger front shocks I guess would help, particularly when "diving" down from the steeper hills and other scenarios where the vehicle weight is concentrated on the front (sharp braking etc)?

That said, I'm considering 35's after my 33's will wear enough to justify the tire swap, but I may wait with 35's until next H3 with the more powerful 5.3L V-8 engine, the new stronger front diff etc. I may install 35's at some point but it is probably going to be mainly for looks since 33's are definitely competent in the terrain - particularly 33" M/T's.
