Looking good. Especially those mirrors with the H3 logo in them, I like that.

Looks Great, just like it should have come from the factory.

Now you have to maintain the trie pressue, regular rotations and alignments when you feel a pull either way. they will last for over 50,000 miles when properly maintained.

Thanks RSC! Glad you noticed. I like to set mine apart from the rest by adding little things like that. I also added HUMMER across the grille and added the Recon Big Rig running lights on the side. Planning to add a huge H3 logo on the sunroof glass in chrome, especially since I always have the cover closed.

Whats a good pressure to run at for day-to-day driving with the 305's? My previous 265's I ran at 40psi. These feel like they installed them with max air pressure (I hit a bump too fast and the rear kick out sideways).

Did the lift today and it looks great! Tires were at 35psi, i guess i just nerd to get used to them. Just feels a little dicy on the highway when cornering. Also gotta get used to stopping sooner.

I've never had 305s. Doc would be the best person to answer the PSI question.

Every set of MTs I've ever had I have driven home on the new tires. Once home dropped the pressure to 16-18 PSI and drove them around the neighborhood for a mile or 2 (slowly) to break in the sidewalls. then air them back up to the recommended PSI. You now have a 3ply ArmorTec sidewall. Much stronger but stiffer.
