I would recommend the BF Goodrich A/T KO in size 315/75/16. I've used these tires for years in different sizes and have always had good luck with them. They are not as loud on the road as a mud tire (Good for a daily driver) and do real well on and off road. For an all terrain tire they have a pretty aggressive tread, and if taken care of (Check air pressure & rotate) it's not uncommon to get 40-50 thousand miles out of these tires. You can get'em in that size for just a little over $200 a piece. I believe the wieght on those is around 68Lb.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Get the Goodyear MTR's w/kevlar. 
My buddy has these on his JK (also his daily driver) and he loves them!
Quiet & smooth on the pavement and very aggressive traction offroad!!!

For a daily driver, I would recommend sticking with an all terrain tire. It gives great all around traction.
Top choices are - Cooper S/T, BF Goodrich A/T KO, and Goodyear Duratracs (what I got)

I don't own them yet but I am most likely getting the Dick Cepek FCII. They're priced close to the BFG A/T but seem to be slightly more aggressive. From what I've read, they also get great reviews.

I am leaning towards them because I need something for a daily driver as well as a great off road tire for the times I get to play.
I had BFG A/T's on my '86 CJ7 and I loved them on the road and dry trails but when it came to slop I was almost always cursing them. They did wear well though.
