Default Tire Recommendations?

In the next couple of months I am planning on putting a 4" lift on my 2010 Unlimited, with 35" tires and new wheels.
I was looking at some Nitto's but heard they are kinda noisy, I saw some KM2's but they are a bit pricey, Can anyone recommend some tires for me?

I am mostly road driving, Occasional going out and playing on some trails.

Chris.

Trail grapplers are great tires but there are so many out there. It really depends on what you are going to use the jeep for. If your wheelin your jeep then you can narrow it down to a few but if its a pavement pounder you have a wide variety.

I'd say about 95% of the time I am on the road. The odd weekend I take it out to play (like only twice this year on mild trails)

Check out GY Duratracs too. Also, you really don't need 4" of lift to clear 35s, esp if you're 95% on road.

Get these! I swear by them. I have 2 vehicles with them on right now. My 2004 2500 chevy has the 33/12.5r16s and are still going strong with 60k miles! My jk has the same size and they still look brand new after 7k miles. They look a lot like more square mud grappler but a lot quieter and cheaper. I love them. I just wish they had 37s.
