Default Best AT 33's?

I'm in the market for a new set of tires for my 2009 Jeep wrangler JK 4dr. I currently have 33x12.50x17 pro comp's. I want something in the all terrain, but want it to look more aggressive. Was thinking Pro Comp extreme AT, but I'm not seeing them in that size. Does anyone have a similarly priced tire that looks good and gets some decent mileage. If I had to go up in size to get it I will but don't think I can run 35's do to the gearing issues. Thought maybe 305/315's. Don't want to go any smaller then 33. What do you think?

I've had great luck with BFG AT's. I've run them for over 15 years and have tried other styles of tires and brands along the way but I keep going back to the BFG AT's because the have every thing that I'm looking for in a tire. I'm looking at a compromise between off-road and on road preformance but I realize that 70 to 80 % of the time my jeep is being used for on road type useage. With proper tire rotation and maintanince I have gotten almost 60,000 miles out of a set of BFG's even with off road use too. I personally think that the BFG AT's have the best look for an AT but looks are subjective. I also like the looks of the Micky Thomson Baja's but have never ran them just because they were more money than the BFG's and couldn't find a reason other than looks to go with the Baja's which wasn't enough to tip the scale and buy them.

Duratracs on a 17 you're only looking at a 285/70r17 in a 33

I have 305/65-17 (which is a 33x12.50) BFG AT KO's. I've had severa sets of these and you can easily get 60,000 miles with normal care.
