The tires have become worn and I am thinking of changing over to some 20" wheels with a lower profile tire. Not necessarily a street tire, but it will be a little lower profile than what is on there now. Will it ruin the ride?

Stiffer sidewall means the tire can't absorb the impacts and you will in turn feel more of the bumps in the truck. _____________________________ (in reply to loanguy) Post #: 2 RE: Do low profile tires ruin the ride on a H2? - 1/8/2007 3:28:02 AM    HummBob Posts: 15973 Joined: 5/6/2006 Status: offline Depends on your "interpretation" of RUIN. It DEFINATELY will CHANGE the ride, but I LOVE the feel of my low-pro tires. It's like a more firm ride as opposed to the OEM. True, like IK says, you'll feel more bumps in the road, but you FEEL the ROAD, which I think is SWEET!! It sucked when I put my OEM's back on for the winter. I can't wait till spring!! I don't think that it would be TOO noticeable going to 20" rims, but you will notice a little. I run 24's! _____________________________ 2004 Black Hummer H2 2007 Black Escalade (in reply to importkiller) Post #: 3 RE: Do low profile tires ruin the ride on a H2? - 1/8/2007 3:20:54 PM    importkiller   Posts: 7254 Status: offline your also a crazy Kanuck _____________________________ (in reply to HummBob) Post #: 4 RE: Do low profile tires ruin the ride on a H2? - 1/9/2007 4:13:17 AM    HummBob Posts: 15973 Joined: 5/6/2006 Status: offline quote: ORIGINAL: importkiller your also a crazy Kanuck You Betcha!!!! _____________________________ 2004 Black Hummer H2 2007 Black Escalade (in reply to importkiller) Post #: 5 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
