Howdy ,

my rims and tires are shot , I hear that 33 inch tires help fuel economy a little , so I want to investigate more , now will going to a 17" rim help in that regard too ?
If you guys know of wheel and tire packages that are around , I would appreciate that info as well...and thanks much....
I have a nail in the right rear...I want to move on this right away...

 

Depending on your H3 package, it came with 32" (265/75/16) or 33" (285/75/16) tires as standard.

If you are running 32" tires now and change to 33", then you will decrease MPG slightly.
If you have 33' tires now, nothing will change regarding fuel economy.

Rim size has nothing to do with fuel economy.

New rims and tires that are heavier than the OEM will affect the MPG's though.

 

100% with Bunger on this one! Weight and changing the diameter of the overall tire/rim package will change the MPGs.

 

I agree with others. Also, let us know the type of terrain, so others can give advice on what tires are best for you.

 

Thanks for the reply guys , I went with P285 -17 Terra Grappler MT's and a set of 17/9 Fuel Octane wheels in black ,I haven't been off road ,no real plans too ,but one never knows.......I will throw up a pic when they are mounted..the wheels should come in today possibly.

Steve.

 

My wheels did come in yesterday , I compaired the MT's with the AT's and decided for my needs to run the All Terrains , I really wanted to stay with a beefy all purpose tire.

 

Here's a couple pics..although I haven't been able to detail it since the new shoes

Just adding to this does anyone know where I can get some all terrains for under $1000?

 

Your looking at them....
