parent's just got me a 2009 h3. picking it up tomorrow.

How big of tires can i fit w/out a lift?

also, im looking to get some decent off road tires? what brand and model do you all think is best? would appreciate any help.

Thanks

 

315/75/r16 are the biggest you can go without a lift. those are 35in tall 12.5in wide. use the search engine on this site because this question has been answered hundreds of times already and people get mad because it comes up a lot. i run the goodyear duratracs. they are the most aggressive all terrain on the market right now and you can pick them up for a decent price. my 315/75/16s were $1200 total for 5 including mount and balance.

 

Yes it has been asked and answered a hundred times and 35's seem to be the answer.

My thing, being a new H3 owner and new to this site, is what these tires look like on an H3. As a matter of fact I'd like to see as many different combos as you all will post pics of. 33's on stock, 33's on a leveled H3, 33's on a lifted H3, 35's on all the mentioned before and any and all combos you guys and gals have on your H3's. I've gone through the galleries and past posts and it's very time consuming. Also not everyone quotes what combo their running.
I'm also concerned with my performance. Are 35's going to kill the little bit of power and gas mileage I have with the 3.7 liter engine.

So post em up...lets see what ya got!

Thanks, Mike

 

i run 315/75/16 duratracs on motometal rims

 

Surf do you have any lift or a leveling kit on your H3?
What engine? If the 5 how bad have those tires robbed power?

Very nice rig!!

 

no lift, adjusted the tbars around 2in. i do have the i5 and it does kill power a little but its not bad at all. i get about 18mpg highway 12mpg city

305/70/16 Hankook Dynapro AT/M's with American Racing 16's.

 

how difficult is it to lift the tbars? and how much of an effect does it have on the ride and performance?

 

Thanks for the picks guys...keep em coming. I need to figure out what size tires to get.
I'll be headin to CO in the morning for a week or two so I wont be able to check in but post up anyways!
