Mike just a thought on your piss poor mileage..Since you are going 2% to 3% more on the 35" tires your mileage will reflect the difference as well..next time subtract 3% from the miles registered on the ODO and then do your milage calc...What peeps don't understand that, GM advertizes the 20MPG on the 32" tire under ideal driving conditions.

I think I'd need to add about 18% to get me from 8.5 to the 16 mpg range

Importkiller, it looks like I'm going to go with 315/75/16 Mickey Thompson MTZ'S. Can you tell me about road noise and your MPG'S ( LOSS OF ) .Thanks!

BuMp, as I would like to see an answer to this as well. Is that the size you have importkiller? 315/75/16's ?

I like the look of those and I hear the performance is awesome. Im curious if they rub on tight turns and if you had to level your Hummer to fit those.

Agree with H3X442. I comparred my speedo to the GPS nav and I was a few miles off with the tire increase.

For clarity, the H3 is actually going a bit faster than reported on the speedo. Good to know for argueing speeding tickets!
