I love my Kelly TSR's. I can't believe that more people don't run these. They are crazy quite and cheaper then any other aggressive tire. If you need even one more great reason to buy, they are "Made in the USA".

I can't stand the BFG T/A KO. I put them on my old Dakota and they were on my previous Wrangler when I bought it. They sucked in mud and heavy wet snow, they do not clean out. Due to the tread design there is no direct path for water exit the center of the tire so they hyrdoplan really easily.
For the OP's needs I also would not recommend the Cooper Discoverer AT3's I have on my Cherokee, they are a nice handling tire on the street but do not think they would be agressive enough to meet the OP's offroad needs

Ok, here is my situation. I am putting 315/75r16s on my JKU. This is my DD, However I will be using it for a good amount of wheeling with club runs, trips, and overland expedition planned across our UP and they need to be decent in the mud if possible. I would like a tire what gets decent mileage, Road manners are a plus but i just want to get over 40k to a set of tires. I will be doing a 5 tire rotation quite frequently. The tires I have been looking at are however I am not limited to these choices.

The Toyo AT2s are awesome!! Probably the most aggressive tread on an AT. They come in the size you want and have a 50,000 tread life!!

Hi, I need help to chose the best tires for my jeep.
What I have:
- 2010 JK Unlimited
- SR-A 255/75R17 on stock Moab wheels
- Nokian Nordman 4 for winter (very good on ice and ok in snow) that I use on the same Moab wheels
- 3/4" coil spacer front and 3/4" coil spacers back
- No wheel spacers
- No lift (other than 3/4" coil spacers)
What I want:
- New tires with a more aggressive look then the SR-A
- Tires that will come out of the flare a maximum of 1/4" to 1/2"
- I want to keep my original Moab wheels that I love
- Will buy wheel spacers if I need too
What I don't want:
- I don't want to put a lift because I carry someone in a wheel chair
- No mud tires (don't do mud)
- No heavy tires
- Loose a lot of MPG (gas)
My driving:
- I live in Canada (Montreal) and we have hot summer and cold winter (ICE and SNOW...lot of SNOW)
- 75% city driving
- 20% highway driving
- 5% mild...very mild offroad (no rocks but a bit of everything else)
Was looking at:
- Hankook Dynapro AMT RF10
- GY Duratrac
- BFG A/T
- Toyo Open Country A/T 2

I'm running the same tires and same size, and they have 40k miles on them and probably AT LEAST another 10k left. I also agree they have been great on and off the road. Great tire for a DD MT. Especially for someone on a budget!
