are those Toyo MT ?
Thank you, it's a work in progress

I agree that a 37/12.50/17 would look good.

If you can't get enough out of "cranking" on the keys, you can pick up a set of green keys for like $30.

The tires are BFG Baja T/A for the Military H1. I use these for the summer, and switch over to Goodyear MT/R's in the winter. Same size, but more aggressive tread pattern.

They aren't too bad until the tires get pretty load on tread.

With that being said if I knew I wasn't going to do any serious offroading in it, I would get a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S .

But I think to get into a 37" size you have to go to a 20" rim.

I have these are the wife Toaureg and am very happy with them...

Michelin Defender LTX M/S

I do like Toyo tires BTW

Anyone have part numbers for the green keys? Kinda a lame question but I've searched all over the place and can't find anything. I want to level out my rig.

Specifically for the ride, how well they wear, and also for better fuel milage...

I know, I know not things we normally think about in our Hummers
