Going to buy 4 new tires and look for a same sized used one for a spare. I was going to buy the BFGs, but after looking some more, decided on the Dunlop Fierce Attitude MTs in a 315. Hoping to put them on Thursday or Friday. Price installed with an alignment is $1000.

Love the pics! Thank you! Hoping to do some off-roading this year! RSC, my H3 is the same color as yours. Love the look of the Kelly's on there. I like the Dunlops because their sidewall is even very aggressive with triangles and ****** wire!

Thanks. Those Fierce Attitudes get some comments about the barb wire, but they sure get the job done offroad.

Never heard of Rausch Creek but checked out their website. That sounds soooooo cool! I can't believe there is a place specially made for and caters to off roading! It's about 3.5 hours away, which is very doable. I'm going to try to make it if I can... Thanks Bunger!

Update... After leveling, driving, leveling again, and driving for a few days, my torsion bars settled back to 23". Today, in 3 degree weather and after a major snow storm, I cranked the torsion bars another full turn on each side. Now I'm up to 8.5 turns on each side and at 23.5" again. This afternoon, I went and got four 315/75/16 Dunlop Fierce Attitude MTs put on and man does she look and drive sweet! I was a little concerned that they would be noisy or the truck would be sluggish, but it's not... So far I'm very happy... It's totally caked with salt and frozen snirt, or I would attach a pic. I had an alignment done at the same time and was very toed in.... She's all good now. More to come...

Come on, I wasn't ashamed to post dirty pics of my truck. Hummers were meant to get dirty. Post those pics, I want to see those tires.

Those are good looking tires. MT's look so much better than AT's, even if you don't need them.
Let us know how they perform in the snow and rain.

The Dunlops shred the deep snow and are great in all road conditions. In less than 2 weeks I've driven through snow, ice, water, and on dry pavement. Much less noise than I was anticipating and very smooth to over 70 mph. The 315s rub a little with the wheel turned ALL the way but are fine the rest of the time. Don't feel a need to swap out the stock shocks right now, but am saving for the 5th 315. The pic above was taken in the shop while getting a remote start put in. Been a savior on those below zero mornings. Upcoming upgrades will include a gobi roof rack, winch mount for the front, and roof lights...
