Don't know about best, but I've been running Hankook DynaPro M/T RT03 35" Mudders on mine for about the last 20K - 25K miles and it's my daily driver. The tires are heavy but otherwise, VERY capable on and off road. At just $180/tire, it was a best buy with good reviews. Depending on how modded your JK is, you could go with other brands which might be a tad lighter on the weight which might help with gas mileage some.

Love my Cooper STT's, got them in 35's as a DD for almost 20k now and barely at 1/2 tread left. Not too loud, and clean out really well in the mud. The tread pattern is near identical too the toyos but alot less cheaper! Good luck!

Cooper STT's. 35/12.5/16.....I havent had them too long but I lovem. They have a nice humming sound when your driving down the road, but not to much to where it's annoying, which I like and it's my daily driver also.

I have the 255/85/16 (33") size of these and they're a very decent tyre. The thinnner width helps on the road, though I'm not sure if they do something similar in the 35 inch sizes.

for your needs, km2's are a very good choice in tire.

i cant decide either im hearing alot of tire choices swampers, mud grapplers, bfg km2.. theres no rocks around here just deep holes filled with mud and light trails people has told me grapplers arent good for big trucks because there wear to quick but for a lighter jk idk? im running 33" bfg a/t right now but tax return coming up i want a nice decent priced tire thats gonna last and has agressive tread. this is my DD and toy so im having a hard time to decide..
