according to walmart goodyears not strong enough apparently the load index needs to be 121 could this be missinformation. or is walmart just as delusional as amazon on what parts fit? priority tire a fakebook sponsor seams to think there strong enough for H2.H2 weight 6400LBs. will be towing 3500LB Ocean cruiser which includes the trailer.




look the weasles at priority even stole the image from WM.

 

Load Range C on a vehicle that is supposed to have Load Range E

Wouldn't do it. Is it strong enough? maybe.... just barely

D at minimum, but heck- you do you

H2's are AWD, do all 4 tires. Don't do 1 axle at a time

 

The hummer may be AWD but that does not mean you are required to do 4 tires all at once. If the front tires both have even wear at say 8/32nds and you put 2 new rear tires on at 11/32nds, that is totally fine. Both axles have the same tread depths on them for that age of the tires and that is not enough difference to hurt the transfer case.

Would be a way different story if it was 5/32nds front and 13/32nds in the rear. Even car manufactures will say this stuff in the owners manual, mainly cars that are always AWD from the factory like Audi, Subaru, they will tell you what the max difference is per axle. There would be so many people out there going extra broke if every time you had a nail in a tire you'd have to replace all 4 every time.

The load capacity between a C and E is like 700-800lbs give or take. The Hummer isn't that heavy but usually you'd stay with an E rated tire. I've seen people put on C rated tires but they don't last as long and many places won't install them unless you know a guy type thing.

 

Definitely D rated minimum but that's a heavy 3/4 ton truck basically and they should run E rated, especially if you are towing a decent weight, which I would say mid 3k pounds is.

The E will ride a bit rougher, but it will be stiffer and much more controlled feeling, especially when towing when you don't want a bouncy ride/tire.

 

These are the tires I’d like to have bc I have been given a brand one less than 1 year old.

That's the stock image from Goodyear that everyone uses. Not sure why that means Priority Tire are weasels.. other than it's not enough tire for your truck.

Tire specs exist for a reason, load range/load index are pretty important specs.

and damn sure get 10 ply...
Unless you are running sustained over 100 mph, it SHOULD be wearing 10 ply tires.

 

I'm finding out you just don't roll outta bed an pick a set of truck tires alot of research on what this H2 needs.
yes I'm learning about real truck tires thanks
these toyos look kindof good untill I see the 2 ply then 3ply I guess a total of 5 ply. at least there D class an two of them will suport the H2.

how do these 37s look for the H2 I've sean the manufactored date at close to end of 2020 so there 4 years old.

I won't be driving this H2 much at all the seller says there's no patchs or dry rot. not sure how to tell if there's a flat spot from being parked a long time? thanks for truck tire advice.

 

mismatching front/rear tread depths on a vehicle that runs the same size tires all around (especially ones with a full-size spare) is making tire rotations more difficult because you should be rotating all 5 through (especially with an AWD)... 4 at a minimum (and not just left-to-right)... otherwise you're making the spare more problematic as it wastes away at new diameter while the rest get smaller & smaller. that, in turn, also extends the life/mileage you get out of that set by 20%.

that said, look at the driver's door jamb sticker - it'll tell you the minimum load rating required (i hadn't checked an H2 since they were new on our dealer lot, but 121 sounds like a realistic expectation). most shops won't accept the liability of mounting under-rated tires because that increases the risk of a blow-out (remember Explorers & Excursions 20yrs ago?).

yes, the thicker LT tires are stiffer than the C ranges, but they'll still ride smooth so long as you only inflate them to the pressure necessary for the load they're carrying (per inflation charts) - not going 65 or 80psi just because that's what the sidewall or door sticker list as proper to carry the maximum allowable weight. case-in-point: my dodge 2500 calls for load range 125 tires, but the set i'm running are 129s. the door sticker says i should use 80psi on those 125 tires, which is sufficient for almost 800lb more than my axle's 6500lb rating... so with my 129s, i'll never need more than 60psi (3345lb each) so long as i don't overload my axle. normal bobtailing uses 45psi & wears the tires more evenly while producing a softer ride. running higher pressure than necessary will reduce traction, wear the centers of your tread out too fast, and feel harsh over every bump.

 

^ sounds complicated rotating 5 tires. probally better off w/out a spare. plus the H2 will probaley ride better losing 100LBs off the rear. also I wouldn't have to worry about some A-hole running off w/ the spare an spare tire holder.thanks
