Default Best tires in the 33/12.5018 size range

I'm shopping for a set of tires in the range of 33/12.50-18 or the metric equivalent. I want a true measured height of 33" plus or minus a half inch either way. Nitto Mud Grapplers and Toyo Open County MT's seem to be the two most common I come up with in an actual 33/12.50-18. Not sure how close to that size I can come up with in a metric sized equivalent. Wanted to see what my fellow JK owners feel is the best tire available in this size range, taking into account price, tread life, street use(ie good on wet roads or snow) and ease of balancing.

I just got the KM2's and love them...I can't believe how quiet they are. I don't have much experience but I paid $215 a tire so that was the selling point.
