Well it does depend on your intended use!
If you are only going for the look but aren't planning to offroad your H3, then I would stay away from the Baja Claws! You will change them as often as you change your socks! They are a great offroad tire but will not last on the street.
As well, since we are in Québec, are you also going to be running the same tires in the winter or will you use a different set for that?
Let me know and I will give you some great suggestions!

I do wanna go off road of course and I already own winter tires that are still in excellent shape. I want something that go do off road and on road at the same time (especially in Quebec).

Depending on how often you go offroad, I'm a big pusher of Cooper/Mickey Thompson tires. I've ran three sets of the Cooper STT mud tires and have had GREAT success with them compared to BFG, Nittos and Toyos and are a lot less expensive.
The baja claws have good offroad reviews but last very minimal on pavement AND they're a directional tire whcih means if you rotate your tires you will have to remove the tires to swap them around, not to mention if you get a Baja Claw for a fullsize spare it's only good for one side of the vehicle.
Personally I'm REALLY looking to the Cooper ST Maxx/ Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 for my next tires, an aggressive A/T that does very well offroad and on the highway with good tread life.

i m a fan of mickey thompson off road tires. my family had them on our lifted 1983 K-Blazer 2-door. they were 40 inches though. i saw the cooper stt tires and they look fantastic. the Mickey tires look great with both on road and off road (50/50) split. thats more of the logical set i would take.

( i wont be going off road unless on special occasions so mostly highway.)

Ok, I will give you a couple of suggestions;
1. You have three sizes you can choose from in order of preference: A) LT315/75R16

LT305/70R16 and C) LT 285/75R16....MY Only Choice would be A)
2. I am assuming your winter tires are the LT 265/75R16 dinky tires so I am pretty sure that once you step up to 35s you won't want to go back to a 30.5!!! For that I will suggest you run one tire year round...GOODYEAR WRANGLER DURATRAC. They are great off-road, mud, snow etc and are Certified for Winter Use in Quebec and based on reviews last a long time!
3. Toyo tires are expensive but they are Awesome and will last a long long time but you will need Summers and Winters!
You could always run Massive Michelin XMLs like me...but that's a whole other list of mods!
Hope this helps,
Hope this Helps
