Yes, regearing will bring back some of that mpg lost, and even better, some of that lost power, but you can only go up to 4.56!
I would save up for a front locker before I did that. I'm really considering going with the H1 style rims with rock ringsi'm still reading about the military tires and the different choices. It seems as though the main factor in blow out are the actual age of the tire. There are codes where you can find the year made. I may give trailworthyfab a call and ask about warranty and the codes. But if cooper stt's are 280$ a pop those will definitely be the choce.![]()
I was looking into this a lot last night and theres three tires offered by interco that would be an option to put on them, thats all I've found so far besides the military tires. Whats the code on the stt's that will fit the rims? I didn't find any, Im trying to stick to 35s because I have a lack of power and lift currently but if I must I'd do the lift to fit 37s.
I did find these though, they look pretty good to me, and a reasonable price too. They're 35s though

Im pretty sure im gonna take the plunge, just gotta decide on a tire. Do you know what the standard rock ring looks like? Im leaning towards the half rock ring cause i still wanna see the rim, but idk what the standard one looks like.I would have to move up to a 17" rim for the stt's this H2 has the 37" stts![]()

hopefully they look like this
I talked to the guy who owns the offroad shop I went to for the lift. He knows alot of people running millitary tires, and he thinks they're great. He just said to make sure the H1 rims are re-centered.
why? can't we run them as they are with the adapter?
I have no idea, but trailworthyfab already re-centers them. By the way, they have plenty of great reviews on their rim/tire combo on pirate 4x4. I'm going to call them tomorrow for more information.
MT/r w/kevlar in a 35" tire are 70 lbs. 35" Pitbull Rockers are some of the heaviest 35's at 84 lbs. The Coopers should not be that bad.Those are the STTs,

They weigh 84# each, thats 5 extra over the ST/Maxxx (it will translate to lower mpg, slower acc and stop and more strain on the front
ahh okay good, no worries then. Yeah keep me updated with what they say. And yeah, theres more tire options too, the Mt/r with the side wall protection looks like a good deal, even though its only 75% compared to the 90% ones there
Even at 75% I think they still good for the price...the only one I wouldn't recommend is the radial...but the mt/r's seem promising.

Yeah I'm either doing that combo or just the rims and waiting for tires.

I need tires soon. I just can't run 37s at the moment. No lift. So I have a dilemma.

Then I'll say just work with what you got for now and get some new tires...and while those wear down save for the lift... At the same time you can get feed back from fellow member derian or. Whoever end up getting them and running them.

I would pick up 17" rims if I wanted to run 37's... So much selection
I am very limited in my choice of tires in the 37" range for my 16" Hutchinsons.
Those military take offs are cheap, and after doing research, you'll quickly find out why... The TW setup will run 135lbs and up...
Then again the Hutchinsons will prob come to about 110-120/wheel and tire
My only question, if this is such a really good deal. Why isn't anyone around here running them already? These tire deals have been around for years. The H1 guys I know, that run that tire size, won't touch them. Wonder why?
