How Strong Is Your H1? - Page 2

I have that ibistek front bumper:



I hope I'll never crash it like that:

That is a bumper. What did they hit?
 
Alien you only got screwed to the tune of about $400.00.

i like the run flats in the hummer wheels. they are there for two reasons. 1) if the tire gets shreaded it will get you out of what ever you are in and get you to flat ground. 2) they are also bead locks just incase you run the tire pressure low to drive in sand or what ever they keep the tires from dismounting.

Mike,
 
How good are the run flats in an offroad situation? If you were in deep sand or mud how well would they work? Fortunately I have never had to resort to using them but it would seem they would not be that effective in a lot of situations.

i'd imagine in you were in deep sand or mud and your tire blew out it would just be like airing down and would really give you alot of traction but also would reduce your clearence but hey would still have more clearence if you didnt have runflats in the same situation.
Me Myself.... I dont run runflats the reason why... They didnt come with my truck and are currently not in my budget heh. But When I get some 2 piece wheels I might just end up buying a set.

lots of people don't run them. You should be able to pick some up fairly cheaply.

i have never been stuck in sand or whatever using the runflats. what you are forgetting is that you only need one wheel to get traction to pull you out of what ever you get yourself into. having a runflat on the rim will keep a flat tire from dismounting and just spinning on the rim, also the factory hummer wheels are designed to work with the runflat. the are built with a shallow lip the seats the bead. if you go to mount a set of tires on the factory rims notice how much air pressure it takes to seat the beads. most tire shops have to use a bead blaster to  get the tire to bead up. also because the inner lip is so shallow if you run say 15psi of air while driving in sand or rock crawling when you turn the wheel and the weight of the hummer is behind it you will dismount the front tires. i have seen this happen. i have starting fluid and a book of matches in my tool box when i go off road to do tech support.

Good to know
