Didn't he also say the dealer would be able to order them?
Nothing about the stock tire being offered in a larger size unfortunately because that is what I would prefer.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!
17" and especially 20" wheels have quite a few more available load range E 37s. The 18s are a limiting factor here (as well as general tire unavailability these days).Here is his post:

I have sound measuring equipment, I'll have to pull it out when I get my truck back from the dealer and take some actual measurements. The Hummer is quieter than I expected at highway speeds. I'll also have to see if it's a different experience for passengers. Once we are in warmer weather I can do the same thing with windows down and top off.You don't want a MT on a vehicle this heavy with this much power. You will HATE the noise and the lifespan of the tires. Take it from a 3/4 truck owner who runs them.
Buy a Nitto... Stay away from a Toyo.

Dropped it back off at the dealer this afternoon or I would. And it looks like it is stored indoors so I can't just go bandit measure.Hey Dark-Fx, can you please measure your tires and let us know the true mounted height?
I appreciate your response but Nitto and Klever aren’t brands I am willing to consider.You don't want a MT on a vehicle this heavy with this much power. You will HATE the noise and the lifespan of the tires. Take it from a 3/4 truck owner who runs them.

might I ask why?I appreciate your response but Nitto and Klever aren’t brands I am willing to consider.
Kenda is the tire. Not klever and they aren’t obscure. At least not here.You are the first HD (I assume diesel) owner to recommend Nitto. Everyone else says they wear out very fast from the added weight. I have heard many recommend Toyo which surprises me that you don’t like them. I ran Toyo on my Cummins and they were fine.
i don’t know anyone with Klever tires and have never seen them on ANY top ten tire list. I am not willing to drop that far into obscure brands.
I have a Silverado 2500 and ran the BF Ko's for a long time and my tire guy told me that he was having issues with them (they weren't completely round and he couldn't get them balanced and BF was replacing them but problems)... I went to the Nito Ridge Grapplers on his recommendation and I have had really good wear out of them... It was mostly highway miles so that may help with the wear.You don't want a MT on a vehicle this heavy with this much power. You will HATE the noise and the lifespan of the tires.

Plus they're made in the same factory by the same people at the same company, right?Thanks for this thread, I've been bouncing around, watching reviews, talking to people I know, etc., and kinda down to either the Toyo Open Country or Nitto Ridge Grappler. Almost any recent video I've seen that is from a dealer perspective, they all say Nitto. A lot of video reviews I'm seeing from truck owners have had both, say Nitto. Every friend I have that runs Toyo but hasn't had Nittos say Toyo, the one friend I have that has a set of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers says Nitto. So basically I'm no help and this post has just wasted everyone's time. You're welcome.
We do a lot of lifting and leveling here. We always use the Nitto Ridge Grapplers on our HD builds. We have had no complaints and good longevity out of the tires. That's our go to tire for sure.Thanks for this thread, I've been bouncing around, watching reviews, talking to people I know, etc., and kinda down to either the Toyo Open Country or Nitto Ridge Grappler.
