Default Should i buy these tires?

Hey guys... thinking about replacing my factory tires from the 265's to a 275 , what do you think these would look like on an H3X?

Dollar for dollar, I like the dura tracs better. You can also get five dura tracs for the price of four mtrs

Those tires are 32" diameter. They are too small for an H3.
Go up to at least a 33" tire.
You can even go to a 35" tire with no rubbing issues.

I agree with Bunger, and also personally I would stick with the 16" diameter. No reason aesthetically or functionally to go up to an 18"

kram: Considering your choice of tire (agressive MT) I do agree that you would be much more satisfied with a 33"(295/70r18) tire on your 18" H3X rims. If you don't see snow/ice the MTR w/K are great offroad tires and look great too. Not that great in snow and ice.


WOW, guys take a minute to read and comprehend what the OP wrote. He/she said "what do you think these would look like on an H3X?". Hence the 18" OEM wheels he is trying to wrap rubber around.

I like these tires a lot. Ride good, quiet and good traction off road.

I can't find many options for 18's, I don't really need that aggressive of a tire... they just looked great, most of the time I just use it to pull my KingQuad to go ride, I never take it what you guys call off rode.. Here in NC we don't get that much snow either... And i went yesterday to pick them up and i find out they don't make those tires any more.. So i guess i'll have to go with the BFGoodrich KO's
