I have been running the Coopers since 339 miles, a little over 9k now. They were fine in the rain. The road noise is a lot ess than expected for such an agressive tread. They did great in the sand. As for snow have not tried. As for rocks, awesome. I have even run a road rally with the H3 clad in these tires, all the Subarus and BMW came in second to the H3, we won best overall. I am glad I got the Coopers, only wish I had gone up to the 35's for stuff like the Rubicon.

:D

Welcome to the board Scotte!

Cool, thanks for bringing the camera. This lake was most definately one of the highlights. I am glad there is a picture to show everyone.;)

(bring your own winch and tree strap)

35's are a must I think too.

I was running 33's and the winch made up for the difference:o. I would not have used the winch as much with 35's

Rocks,
Are you talking about the Discoverer STTs?

Congratulations!!!

Anyone who can conquer the Rubicon in a stock (or nearly stock) H3 has my respect. (Thumbs up!)
