Just bought a h2 cool rig been looking and finally found the right one, got a couple questions 1. the rig has 24 inch wheels on it however the tires are street tires can I just go with bigger more aggressive tires on the same rims if so whats a recommended size by you owners, 2 after I turn off the key and get out I hear noises when on a slight hill. 3. the switch below the rear wiper dial I take it that one is for rear defroster, thx for any other advice on this beast.

 

welcome! Post some pics.

I would sell the 24's. I believe you can get a more aggressive tire. But they will be very expensive in 24's. If you plan on wheeling your rig at all. They will be useless off road as you won't be able to air down without destroying your rim.

I've also heard people say the ride is stiff as there is no sidewall to cushion the on road ride.
I agree with this as when i went from a 17 to a 20" rim. I noticed a stiffer ride immediately.

 

One question, has anyone heard of any side effects on the running gear (notably transfer case and diff) from running over sized wheels? I've read a 3% +/- from stock rim wheel diameter as a guideline....?

 

congrats on the H2. The stock wheels are 35" diameter x 12.5 wide. Going wider can cause rubbing issues and going over 35" can possibly cause issues. There is a ton of info on here about that.
Good luck finding tires for those wheels!
What kind of noise on a hill?

 

so 24 inch wheels will cause issues or damage correct, thx

 

I don't think 24s will cause damage. They just look dumb (IMHO), are overly expensive including the tires they need, ride hard, and suck off-road. Some people like the looks, which is an opinion thing, and one could argue you can get better handling on smooth roads.

 

Welcome to the like nothing else world

Unless you are going to a Hip Hop festival (no offense )
I would get rid of the 24" and get 17-20 " with real offroad tires .
And yes the 24" on the long time may affect the perform and mechanical parts . Plus it is like putting mud offroad tires on a Escalade

 

Is it because the tires and wheel are smaller or larger or something like that. Is that why it can long term affect the rig. also will it throw speedo off thx again gang. Now if i could just figure out how to quiet down the front left corner part of the sun roof,,,

 

Quiet the sunroof? Do a search on sealing your windshield side pillars, that's prob what you're hearing.

I would keep the wheels and buy a fur coat and a gold grill...

 

its the roof with a piece of rubber in it it goes away and you can rattle it with your hand
