good for you skeptic!! go pick it up!

 

I'd be lying if I said I haven't started looking, but after driving the Jeep for more than 5 years I can take a couple weeks to decide when it makes most sense. The Jeep has 146k miles, needs brakes, drivers seat, radiator, and tires.


Sorry - got way OT, this is a 1 set of tires vs 2 thread.

 

Back to the original topic:

Winter or Summer, I run 1 set of tires - Duratracs
Good for New England winters plus any time of the year I could go wheelin at a moments notice, so it wouldn't be convienient to keep another set just for on-road use.
My H3 isn't my daily driver though.

 

same here, i only use my 35in duratracs to commute to work and play in the mud, sand, and snow.

 

I have two sets of wheels/tires. Both wheels are stock factory H3 wheels with sensors and the tires are stock 33" factory tires and a set of BFG/MT 35" tires. I originally thought I would use the 33"s for summer driving and the more aggressive MT's for winter but I like the look of the 35's so much I never went back to the original 33's.
I might sell the factory new 33" tires and wheels/sensors for close to what they are going for if someone is interested but I will not ship them. You would have to pick up the 5 wheels/tires/sensors in Arizona.
I lost about 2 mpg with the 35's and braking is a little slower. The looks are killer though and well worth the trade off. The 33;'s are still a big upgrade from the factory 265's.

 

How much are you asking for your stock 33 wheels and tires???

 

skeeet - Probably asked/answered elsewhere, but I'm curious if A) you have an I5 or V8, and B) how noticeable are the larger tires on performance - acceleration, hills at highway speed, etc.

 

I have the I5 and basically the change is about the came change in per cent as the per cent that the 35's are larger than the 33's or as I figure it about 6%.
I paid $200 each for new factory H3 non-chrome wheels with caps, about $50 each sensor, and tires valued at $175. I would not take less than $1500.
