Default New shoes

Hi all,

I want to get new tires this spring because I still have the factory ones installed and they are getting worn. I want something more aggressive than stock tires but I really don't want to go overboard on size or price. what are most of you using for your H3 urban assault vehicles?

2006 H3 victory red

I got Cooper Discoverer STT's size 285/75R16. They are great and weren't too expensive- about $200 per tire, mounted and balanced. Got them at christmas so haven't really had a chance to try them in the mud but they go great in the snow. Tread pattern is a little more aggressive than an AT tire (looks similar to a BFG MT KM) but they are fairly quiet at highway speed.

i was thinking cooper too just cause they looked tough but after research and actually talking to the shop they said what i had been reading that there junk. no knock on you geting them just saying when i researched them they had low grades and the guy at the shop said they where junk and had alot of complaints on them and he said if i must get them cause i want to pinch pennies to get the extended warranty on them. hopefully u did or u dont have any problems. i just give my opinion and its nothing personal and i always say if you like it thats all that matters cause its your ride. good luck
