The percentage change is so minimal that it would be well within any boundaries set by the manufacturer.

Let's put it this way: there are several others running 35s that have broke something or the other while wheeling and have been covered under warranty. The first thing that would happen if it was far out of the realm would be GM wouldn't honor the warranty of those running 35s. But they are.

Do the 35s..... DO IT!

I have the stock 33's on the hummer that came with the adventure package and am impressed with how quiet they are on the road. I have the BFG A/T TA Radial 33" x 12.5" on my bronco. Great tires and extremely quiet for such an aggressive tread, although they barely fit in the wheel wells without a lift kit. They really fill up the wheel wells, which is one of my biggest complaints about the H3's. Not sure if the BFG's would fit on the H3 and if they would affect turning radius. I think you could even go with the 35", as the clearance may be more critical for width than height.
Another bonus with the 12.5" footprint is that they really float over soft sand. I hardly ever need to pressure down on the beaches around here in that rig.
You could go with the Mud Terrain's, but more loud on the road and shorter tread life. Probably not a good option for your 40 mile hwy commute.
Hope this helps.

I'm very happy with my BFG MT km's. They are a newer version having been redesigned for this year. More miles (they say 55K) and quieter, along with some other improvements in tread and sidewall strength.

x2!!!

Like I said way above I really like the BFG AT KO's but I wish I had gotten M/T's. The only reason I wish I had M/T's though is because of mud. These things are amazing in loose stuff, wet stuff, and rock. They kick ass everywhere except the sticky mud. If you've got no mud then this would seem top be an excellent compromise. I run the 315/75R16's and had no rubbing until I cranked the t-bars. As it is now the rubbing is minimal and doesn't effect drivability one bit. Just polishes the sway bars a wee bit.

edit: Added text:

You might want to consider the Mickey Thompson MTZ's. They are a good price, look to have a serious tread and are siped. I was given a recommendation to get these but they weren't available in my size at the time. If I were doing it over these would be on the short list.
