To anyone with knowledge on these two brands of tires. (Nitto or Mickey Thompson)

In your opinion or from experience, which is a better quality (performance, look) of tire to go with on placing on an H3? I am considering big but not noisy. Please share your advice. Thanks for your input.

I've only had experience with MT's on a 89 bronco I used to have, they were not to loud and I got what I thought what decent life out of them.

And....Nascar 17 you got a sweet H3, I dig your style.

I think I'm gonna go with the Goodyear GT II P285/50R20. It's more of a highway tire and should last a reasonable time. I don't want and noise or singing from them.

Thanks for all of you'lls advice. It was all very helpful. This is my first time in any forum and I am just trying to find some quick helpful answers because I am getting this done in the next couple of days. Not to familiar with the whole setup. Slideshow was pretty funny, but I still got responses. Once again thanks to all for your advice.

Theres a thread on that DENNIS can you PLEASE post the link to that thread on cranking the torison bars so he will know about it THANKS? It raises the frount so you can put a 35 tire and levels it out with the back.Or try a search on torison bars or cranking the torison bars.Let us know if you find it.

We use to play with the torsion bars on our old Mopar cars to raise and drop the car. We had to re-align the front end to compensate or the tires wore out on one side. I think that might apply here.

Matt Kennseth eh? Quietly lurking in the back waiting for his wins. I root for the Hendrick boys. Jeff Gordon fan for a long time. Dumpi' Bush may turn out to be a mistake.

Sorry to get off topic
