Yes, I will give them a visit. I checked out their site and viewed both tire brands I've been interested in, and they both show a fitament for a 7.5 rim size, great! Not sure why these other vendors have different information for the same tire, but its their loss. Thanks for the info.

Go online to Tire Rack, order the tires you want and have them shipped to your mechanic. Have him mount the new tires. It's as easy as that.

Thanks for the response. I was expecting this to be a simple process, but have been advised by the local Firestone dealer, and Tire Kingdom that the tire would not fit the rim and they refuse to sell them due to safety issues. I was shown the technical data for the tire and the H3 and was advised if they were to sell me the tire and it fails they would be on the hook for selling a product that wasn't within the specs of the tire manufacturer. And the only reason I ask about the 16 x 8.5 is I was shown the technical data that it was available for the 2005-2006 3.5, and then in 2007 it was only available for the 2007-2010 5.3, and I have a 2009 3.5 h3t so I'm curious how others are able to do this with the factory rim if they own a 3.5. I'm going to have to decide if I want to order the tires on-line and hope I can find a reputable garage to install them.
There was no 2005 H3, there was no 2007 with a 5.3L, they only came with 3.7Ls. Your 2009 does not have a 3.5L either, 3.5Ls where ONLY used in 2006 H3s.
2007 through 2010 H3/H3Ts have either the 3.7L I5 ; or, if a 2008+, the 5.3L V8 if an Alpha.
Are you here in the US. I do recall that some European countries make it near impossible to buy any tire size not offered as stock from the factory.
Good luck.
