Fixed the link.

Rob, quiet and and off-road only don't go together

I have had my rockers for a year, best tire I have ever owned for off-road. They are ok on the Highway. But keep in mind, my truck is completely different from an H3. It's not driven daily (But could be).

Also, how a tire does is all about low air pressure. Radials work really well at 12 or leass, bias plys 8 or less.

If you want a tire that gets is fully off road, you have to sacrifice quite a bit. Besides, it's not like it's a bad sound!

Pitbulls are bias ply, that means for them to work, yo have to air them down to 8 psi or less. Double beadlocking them is advisable, and can be done very inexpensively with a $49 kit from Inchworm Gear.

Here is the link to a post about them from a while ago. It may make sense for you since you want a second set of rims anyway
DIY Double Beadlock kit

Another great tire is the Irok, and it is available in both Bias play and radial.

Goodyear M/T's are a great radial, that work very well in th rocks, but will suck in the mud.

I don't know much about Nitto's or thew Toyo's off road, I simply don't know anyone running them.
