How do you guys like them? I am thinking of getting a set of the 37" x 12.5" R16.5 hummer tires for my M1009 blazer. I'm more concerned with the on-road performance. This is mostly a pavement pounder and will be see the highway alot. How is road noise? How many miles are you getting out of them? Im putting a 4" suspension lift on the truck so if you have pics of your truck with the same or similar setup I would appreciate seeing them. Thanks
 
got a set and mounted NO BALENCE and drove 1hr each way 70mph smoth as glass.

but who knows you might get diffrent.

for the price i couldnt pass them up.

4" hd lift springs frt and 4" flip back. 2" body lift . k30 truck 9.75 wide rims also

here is pics. and the fenders do touch the tires at full flex on the ramp. 30* ramp not 20*

Thanks, I hear ya on the price. I'm looking at 4 tires and 4 wheels shipped just under the price of 4 new 35" BFG mts tires shipped
 
got my 4 tires for 200 bucks 3/4 or better tread and dove 1:15 min each way in car with little trailer. :D
 
I'm going the same way - should have them on in about a month and can report back then
 
I like them , especially for the price. They can be a little noisy but its a truck. I drive 45 miles each way to work. As far as offroad, I have seen them on rocks and dirt and they do good. I did great in the snow, we had about 30" and they plowed thru pretty good.

Whats the setup on your truck?
 
I keep eying those tires wanting to get some!

I was gonna jump on em and get some cheapo steel 16.5 wheels... but my 3.08 ratio is holding me back.

Maybe i will get em and just drive around in lo range haha.... that might make it just about right.

the tires of course are the 37/12.50/16.5. The rims are 16.5 x 8 turbines
350/th350/203

Thanks! How bad is it gonna be with 3.08 gears? I don't plan on re-gearing
 
Well I think with 3:08s , It will not be a speed demon. You should get what you want, then when you get some one tons under there get atleast 3:73s.

Its got a 6.2L diesel, it isn't a speed demon now lol! Someday I will put 3/4ton axles under it. I already have a 8-lug 10-bolt front with 4.10s that I'm saving for it
 
Sorry for the thread jack, but atleast its on topic! :o

Where does everyone get these things?

Do you need to recenter the H1 beadlocks?

Actually we were just discussing the hummer tires not the H1 rims.

I know those who run dually axles do not have to recenter the h1 rims. But I havent read about anyone using the stock h1's on regular axles.

This is 80'427's 1979 K30. It has a 4" lift with the 37x12.50x16.5" radial Hummer tires. Later I'll look around for some better pictures.
