I feel like this should be out there already but I can't find it. can anybody tell me how the hummer tires do on on 350 I keep hearing that thmight as well be made out of steel but that was from jeep guys. are these decent for a 1 ton. I'll be back in AK soon and don't want to buy somethign that's going to be like driving on ice with tires made from ice
i drove them on a f350 before and they were loud and rode rough but it didnt bother me. considering you can get them for under 100 a piece all day long id run them. i dont have any input for how they would do in your weather conditions though in ak.
In my experience they ride just fine on my Ramcharger but I do tend to like how old trucks ride, not this pussy 4WD minivan bullshit the manufacturers make now. I like a truck to ride like a truck. As for performance, the 37" MTs do fine on most things but they are a heavy, stiff tire and in my experience they do not do well on ice. The compound is a bit hard and they don't seem to grip slick surfaces very well. They might be improved with some siping, but for me I'll just use chains if I need to go anywhere on ice.
that's what I was affraid of anchorage and the valley wherent' very good about keeping roads clean. I guess it wouldn't be a huge deal to have a slightly smaller winter set of tires though. for siping that's essentially holes right or is it hot knifing more channels? I mean can I just sit down with a 12 pack and a drill?
From someone that has lived in Alaska, I'm telling you that you don't want those tires up there. Look at BFGs, Michelins, etc. I ran Michelins with a tuff box filled with a thousand pounds of various weights and chains ratchet strapped to back of truck bed by tailgate to load suspension. You can get used studded tires for winter.
We have MTR's, BFG's and MT's. We can groove them for you too.
Please check out the pictures on our website or call our shop with any questions 316-337-5311 The amount of tires in stock has never been higher. We keep all of our product inside and we stand by what we sell.
Here are a few pictures of the Hummer tires out there and what we have in stock.
I wanted to share pictures of the three 37" tires that we stock for you guys.
