I'm in the Army and deployed to Iraq now as a scout - essentially I ride around in trucks on and off road all day for a living. We use 37in Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar and BFG Bajas. They work great on concrete and sand. My mechanics like em. I bought the KM2s for my Rubicon because I got a deal on em, but the MT/Rs are also great. Go with the best price out the door.

Toyo
Good luck, it's like buying Nike or Adidas, it's kind of up to you and what fits you best. Just don't buy the Karl Malone Yellow and Gold LA Gear or you'll really be screwed! 
I'm a TOYO fan... I have been running TOYO M/T's for 35,000 miles and I love them. Don't seem to have worn down that much, but hey, they're an M/T on a DD so you have to expect some wear.

I've got 15,000 miles on my Toyos and they still look next to new. Most of the guys in my neck of the woods can easily get 40 to 50 thousand miles on a set of Toyo MT's on a Jeep if they're being rotated regularly and run at the correct pressure.

I'd go with the MT/R's with or w/o kevlar if you're absolutely set on MT's but before you go that far -- take a look at Wrangler's DuraTrac's -- Awesomely aggressive ATs.

But they're not a real MT. They only manage about 80% of the mud performance that my Toyos provide, and they don't have the same lateral (sidehill) stability in deeper snow that good MT's provide.

I have the 37" goodyear mt/r's with kevlar and it is a very rough ride even at low tire pressure I am going to switch tires ver soon and I just got the kevlars. I would go with an aggressive all terrain or a ProComp which seems to be a little softer. Good luck.

I'm running 35x12.50r17 KM2's @ 30 PSI on my DD (50 miles a day) and haven't had any regrets in tire choice.
I only have a few hundred miles on them though, that may change as I get into the 20-25k range!

Pro Comp Xterrains always did me good on the milage and the mud/trails.
I had almost 35,000kms on them when I sold them and they had maybe 40% wear. I would buy them again in a heartbeat if my Jeep was to see alot of hwy miles.
