I bought Toyo Open Country M/T tires for my last JK (pics in 'my ablums'), and when I lift my current one, I will buy the same ones. I got them because, after researching, I found that for big lug tires, they were the quietest on the street, easiest to balance, and had a long life when rotated regularly. I had over 10K miles on them when I got rid of my Jeep and they still looked brand new. They are a little pricey, but worth the money IMO. They also perform great in off road conditions, and they already come sipped for better wet/snow/ice traction. They also performed great on the street and in the rain.

The best deal on the KM2 would be had at Costco. You have to special order them. They won't install them on your vehicle because they are oversized. You would have to carry in your wheels for them to mount and balance, and carry them out to install on your rig. It is a hassle, but for the lifetime rebalance and hazard warranty, and the lowest prices, it is worth it. They are currently running a $70 off a set of 4 deal.
I have looked at the website and it only lest you search by model, so you can't find alternative size tires online.

If you do go with the MT/R Kevlars, you may want to watch your sizing. Unlike most tires, a 35" MT/R Kevlar is 35" tall. Most 35" tires are more around 34", and this may be something to consider to prevent any rubbing.

I have not taken mine in sand yet...but they are really good on rocks (not a whole lot of testing). They are pretty freakin good in mud considering the tread pattern is a little tight for a MT. I have before and still highly recommend this tire. Pricey! But worth it if you are serious about wanting a great tire. They are as quiet and smooth as my buddy's 35" BFG AT.
