I third the BFG KO's. No road noise, excellent road manners and hook up beautifully off road.

I think I will go with the Duratrec's. A couple friends of mine recommended those as well.. They seem to be a very popular choice amongst daily driven JK's. Will there be any issues fitting 35's on stock 17" rubicon rims?

You will need spacers.

I have been very impressed with my MTR/Ks. They are excellent tires.

IMO hands down the best tires u can get that look aggressive and r great as a Daily Driver r the Goodyear Duratrac!!!! I am running 325/65/18 with a 2 1/2 inch OME lift and it looks and feels great. Ask around regarding that tire and read reviews on it

I have Kuhmo ATs on my Jeep and am really happy with them. They are great off road, quite on the hwy, and have good siping so they are AWESOME in the snow. No problems aired down to 15 psi either.

The are wearing well/even and were easy to balance.

IMHO my 35" ProComp Xterme A/T's work great. Little noise, great off road capability and they have a BA profile.

I have the same tires (35x12.50x18) with an 18" rim, and they ride awesome. I am surprised on how quiet they are on the highway. Like he said....."they are sick on the trails".

Something else the OP may want to ask, and will be what I want to know when it comes time to upgrade is, what are the LIGHTEST and most durable dd tires? As I know the heavier the tire, the less our little engine likes it.....as well as other steering components.....
