Default Need tire decision help

I just purchased a 2012 JKU sport and will be replacing the wheels and tires this week. I plan to stay in the 33in range and have narrowed my choices down to a few possabilities.

Cooper STT 305/70R16
Cooper ST MAXX 285/75R16 (largest they make, wish they had a 305)
Goodyear Duratrac 305/70R16

Its mainly a DD with occasional wheeling and I love to play in mud but don't mind asking for a tow. The wife likes "the ones with big grippy things" but I feel that all three of those have a good aggressive look.

Price wise they are all within about $20 of each other so now I just need ya'lls opinions and experiences

the cooper sst's are more or less the same tire as the procomp xtreme mt and mickey thompson mtz and they all are really nice tires. i have personally tested out the 2 later tires and have seen the sst's in action on other rigs as well and, they are what i would recommend of your choices.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I wish Cooper was still offering the $75 rebate but it expired on Nov 7th! Grrr LOL
