Cooper STT's
I recently put 33" Cooper SST's on and like them alot. They are a little noisy on the highway, but once they "warm up" the smooth out and calm down some. I couldn't decide either between BFG, MT ATZ's, or Nitto's, but I'm happy with my choice now.

If you aren't planning a lot of mudding, I always found the BFG A/T's to be real well mannered street tires and the more than hold their own off road. Good tread life, good on wet road, aggressive enough for some fun time off road. A great value.
I would keep running them, if the M/T's didn't just look so dag gum good on the Jeep.

I too use my JK as a DD so wanted something quiet but good looking and with a pretty decent tread for offroad. I decided on the 33" Bridgestone Dueler (Revo) AT. Absolutely love them. SUPER quiet and ride fantastic. On the hiway I can hardly tell that I have made the change from stock. Pretty amazing. Everybody I know that have these tires love them. You might want to check them out.
It's a tuff decision I know so Good Luck.....

I've seen some good comments about the Revo's too. They have a different tread pattern from the stock Bridgestone's. You can go to the Bridgestone website or another site like tirerack to see the difference.
That being said, I still prefer my MT ATZ's. The tires have a little road noise(which I like), but not so loud that's it's annoying.
I've got 285/75/16 which weigh about 15 pounds more than the factory tire. But my tire/wheel combo weighs 79 pounds which is only 8 pounds more than the factory wheel/tire combo. This is the exact weight because I took my bathroom scale out the the garage and weighed my original spare(which has never been on the ground) and my new spare.
Now I'm just waiting on my RE 2" BB to show up. I just ordered it a couple days ago from Northridge. It has already shipped and is somewhere between Oregon and Alabama now.

I don't know the exact difference between the Duelers that come on the Sahara and the Dueler Revos, but I know that if it doesn't say "Revo" on the tire they aren't Revos. (I just looked at the Bridgestone website and I see that the RH/S are not Revos). Mine also are the "newer?" "Uni T" design, which is actually a different way they build the tire.
Also......Altho I do plan on a TF 2.5" body lift soon, I have not lifted my Jeep (2dr Softop) yet. As far as on the road I have total turning ability and they do not rub anywhere.
