Help on choosing Tires
Ive narrowed down my tire choices to the General Grabber Red Letter tires or the Toyo Open Country M/T im just stumped on what size to get them and dunno if i should do 15 inch or 17 inch wheels ( going with cheap beadlocks for now )
Tire sizes as followed 33x13.50R15 Or. > TOYO OPEN COUNTRY M/T 35x13.50R15 33x12.50R15 Or. < General Grabber Red Letter 35x12.50R15 And will any of these size tires rub or interfere with anything mind you i have a COMPLETELY STOCK H3 If yall could point me in the right direction and help me choose a size and tire And if anybody is or has used these tires info would be greatly appreciated Thanks again |
First you should forget about 15" wheels. You will run into clearance issues for the brake calipers without modifications or be forced to use wheel spacers, which is a whole different debate.
OEM wheels are 16" on most models w/ 17" on some special editions. Stick with 16's. There's lots of choices, just be sure to get the correct offset & backspace measurements. My first choice would be 35" tires (they will fit a stock H3) and 99% of H3's run blackwall. I'm not a fan of lettering on a tire. My Duratrac's are mounted with the lettering inside so I don't have to look at it. |
x2 on 35" and the blackwalls ^^^^^

Toyo mt's are a world above grabbers, stick with the 16's. 15's are old school chevy stuff and hard to find one that will clear the caliper on the 3.

Thanks for the info guys

you are looking at two types of tires. The Grabbers are designed for desert racing, and the Toyo's are designed for mud. I suggest you determine what kind of terrain you are gonna be driving on and then make your decision.

TOYOS are cool but if you are going to spend the money check out fierce tires and pitbull ..badass

I run Grabbers and I love them. I have not taken them off road yet, but I've run them on the street, highway & in snow with no issues. Take a look at the below link.

I just wore through my set of Toyo MT's and man am I glad. Super noisy. They look cool but were terrible road tires. Hope you find what your looking for. There will be plenty of suggestions so do what is best for you!! Good luck.
