Early in the hype cycle, GM spoke of 37 inch tires being a simple swap with the dealer. I assume so they could recalibrate the speedometer and (maybe) raise the air suspension up a smidge. Has anyone heard or seen any reference to this option in recent communication from GM? I worry it got lost somewhere along the way and isn’t an option anymore.

I know you can probably make them fit. I am more interested in if the dealer can recalibrate. Also, I know I will lose some range with larger, heavier rolling resistance.

The Hummer was designed to accommodate 37" without modification to the vehicle. Dealer should be able to recalibrate without issue.

Interesting. I can't find any reference to 37" tires anywhere on the GMC Hummer EV website. It was there just a few weeks ago. They've scrubbed it completely.

My concern now is that GMC may invalidate some portion of the suspension warranty if 37" tires are installed.

 

[Nebula1701]

GM is not providing the 37" tires, you have to buy them either from a dealership that is supplying them or from a 3rd party.

Nebula1701: is that reference from the GMC Hummer website today? I've seen this reference above many times, with the superscript 4, indicating that 37" tires are possible.

I cannot find any current reference to the 37" tires on their website. It looks like they've removed all references to them.

Example (from the website today):

 

[Nebula1701]

I don't think they've ever advertised the 37" capability outside their media site. It's not something they are offering stock, you have to buy the tires yourself.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying: their website previously advertised that it would accommodate 37" tires. But, now they no longer have reference to 37" tires.

I think we all understand that we'd have to buy the 37" tires separate from the vehicle.

Because they previously advertised that it would accommodate 37" tires, my assumption was that they wouldn't make any changes in the vehicle warranty for those of us that installed 37" tires. Now that they've removed this reference on their website, there is more risk putting these tire on, as it might void the suspension warranty.

 

[Nebula1701]

Hmm so they did have the reference, checking waybackmachine.

Has anyone reached out to the Hummer line?

The truck likely hasn't changed and probably can still accommodate the 37" tires. I suspect that they removed the reference to them on their website as they want to avoid warranty claims that may result from the larger/heavier tires?

It’s probably also because they didn’t achieve the states range and adding the weight would kill it even more

Hey, Hummer Chat community. This is Al Oppenheiser, the HummerEV Chief Engineer. To answer your questions, the HummerEV will accommodate 37" Tires with no vehicle modifications required (meaning you won't need a mallet to 'persuade' any metal parts. We do not offer a 37" tire in the HummerEV order guide, but many/most GMC dealers should have some 37's on display in their showroom and for you to purchase after your order arrives. You can also pick an aftermarket 37" if you prefer. We do sell the cal (RPO RWQ) you can get from your dealer/service, and they will track the warranty you would get for anything going wrong related to the cal, since it is a GM release. Enjoy the 37's!

 

[Nebula1701]

Thank you for that information!

Hey Al thanks for the post. Had a question about the wheels on the off-road package offered. When the Hummer EV first debueted it was showed with a nice set of 18" beadlock wheels. What ever happened to them? When I placed my order for the SUV edition 1 with the off-road package I thought those were the wheels offered, not the ones currently seen on test mules. Can you still get those, or if not can you get the 20" wheels optioned instead of the black/white 18" wheels? Thanks.
