I've got the Super Swamper Trxus MT 34"x12.5" These are HUGE tires and they are absolutely quiet on the highway, frankly they're just as quiet as my street tires.
I've run them in a little mud and it throws clods of mud about 50 feet in the air, excellent bite on rock and trails and I've been told these tires are the ultimate tire for snow and ice although I've not had the pleasure.
Too bad I don't have it with me this week. I'm up in Minneapolis this week and it's frikkin' COOOOOLLLLDDDDD. -16 right now with a wind chill of -37.
I've noticed when we talk about tires on this forum most either talk about 33's or 35's.. apparently many forget there are 34" tires out there.

Good timing for this thread. I'm getting ready to by some new tires and this is helping me see what the tires look like on the H3. I'm leaning towards the Cooper Discoverer STT's right now. Anybody have any experience with these? The biggest question is what size to get...33" or 35"!!!

Glad you like hammer. The price may surprise you, the rims were about $130 each (Pro Comp Alloys 16x10), the tires were around $180 each. Plus the custom ProComp lugnut set was another $50 so I think I came in around $1,400 delivered. The came mounted and balanced, I swapped the wheels myself.
The rims can have the optional beadlock rings for about $60 per tire. They come in chrome, black, red, etc.... I thought I wanted the beadlock rings but decided against it. Gunner45 has the chrome rings on his rig and the same tires. I think he went with 33's. My wheels are 34" with no lift.

Bead Locks secure the tire to the Rim so the beads don't break free with low tire pressure.
If you want high mileage tires you would should go with a P-Metric they will have a UTQG rating (UTQG rating is the hardness of the rubber, the higher the # the longer they last i.e. 500). Down side is the side walls are usually thinner, Offroad tires tend to have thicker sidewalls for less flex and don't have UTQG rating.
