Default Hi, 1 week newbe with a question...

First off, holy crp.. I can't believe how much I love the H3.!!! 2006, white, crome pkg, sunroof, xm, awesome. I got rid of a 2006 Chrysler 300, really nice car, just toget an H3. Wow, Wow. Wow... This forum really was the key in me getting the H3. I've read advice, comments, stories... etc. and everyone seems to care about others H3. Well, now I'm aboard and I say Thank you all........

So my question is, How do you explain to your wife that you need 35" tires ASAP when you just pulled it in the garage5 days ago..???

I found a great deal on BFG AT's, I do a lot of highway driving, otherwise I would havedecided togowith the Toyo MT's, those really look cool...

I can get the BFG's, all 5 of them for $1,100 with free alignment included !! yeah I' m gonnacrank up the torsion bars 2.5turns before I take it in, but....see question above....

Thanks.

Welcome and congrats. Just tell your wife the truth, that you want them for the look and it's a good price!
And get some pics up.

1st of all CONGRATS stlH3 and welcome! As lil HB said...just tell her the truth and get them! Do not most women want things (shopping!!!) and get them on a regular basis? I am sure she will want it to look cool too...(particularly if she gets to drive it too lol.) Good luck!

Just coveniently look at them online when she is around and mention how nice they look. Tell her that ride will be much smoother and that you are thinking of getting them(even if you have already ordered the tires). Good luck. I just started enhancing the H3. Exhaust last week. PCM this week. CAI probably next.

Welcome and good luck..Maybe a little subtle bribe wouldn't hurt..Like a nice dinner out and a back rub and see where that leads...

You guys (and Gals) are great! I believe she is planning a shopping spree with her mother soon, so I guess I can have my own, Right? Although I think I will just come home with them on and see if she notices.... can't take them back then. I will get pics soon.. Thanks for the thoughts.

You could tell her that having bigger tires will cause you to be more romantic... blurt out I love you at randoms times.. remember all dates such as anniv., birthdays etc, ... and cause you tosend her flowers at random.

Or you could do what I do: and just get them.. "Yes honey, .. those ARE the SAME tires that came on it when we bought it"

LOL

Dont even think twice,, Just do it. The H3 was made for 35's as far as the total look. I still grin every day I go out to the garage and hop in.
