VOTE! : Tactical wheels vs H3T steelies

[sinstr]

Tactical.. Because anything with the word tactical is more better lol.. PoPo joke!!! On a serious not i do like the tactical better then the stillies.. The weight difference is just bonus..

Is 5.11 or Blackhawk making wheels??? lol

My vote, tactical wheels. I had a new set of steelies and never mounted them due to weight. Sold them after sitting in my house for 6 months. Id like a set of tactical wheels. The solid spoke is nice.

Extra weight = stronger wheel. If you don't wheel as much, I can see where the lighter wheel might be the right choice...just sayin - they are called steelies and are heavier for a reason and will be a more durable wheel for wheeling.

I really, really, really like the look of the steelies. frig weight, you drive a HUMMER anyway.

Your truck looks sick! Are those super swampers you are running? What size? I assume they are AWFUL on anything but mud / dirt?

Yes, they Interco Super Swamper Irok ND. Size is 315/75R16 (35x12.5). Actually they are radials and the street manor is really good. They do have a very distinct sound but they have a good amount of sipping, so they do great in the rain. No complaints.

Really? Do they actually balance? What about chatter / vibration? The M/T's I had on my H3 were brutal... shake the fillings out of your teeth.

Yep, really. For balancing, I initially went with liquid balancing because everyone swore by it for swampers and it was okay. Smooth at cursing speed but developed an annoying shake in the steering wheel when cornering hard or letting off the gas. I ended up dismounting the tires and taking out the liquid and balancing them with clip on weights on the inside and stick on weights on the outside (clip on weights on the outside would be ideal). Now there is no shake or vibration of any kind.

*sigh* so the guy that I was buying the tacticals from backed out of the deal, because he couldn't be bothered to take the junk tires off of the wheels.

Looks like I'm still in the market for wheels and at this point, since I like both of the wheels, whichever I find a deal on first is what I'll be buying.

Is there a forum member that lives close to the seller who would be willing to pick up the tires/wheels, unmount the tires and ship you the wheels? Where are the tires/wheels located?

 

[08SolarFlareH3]

If there located anywhere near me, I would gladly dismount the tires free of charge and ship the wheels to you.

 

[Bigunit]

Me too.
