Default What tire to buy?!?!

Okay guys, trying to figure out my next move on tires. My JK spends a lot of its time on the highway and whatnot so I am keeping it open to all A/Ts and M/Ts. Don't hit a bunch of mud but spend a lot of time on mainly rocks and just plain 'ol trail riding. I have looked at Goodyear MT/Rs, Nitto Trail Grapps, Nitto Terra Grapps, Falken Rocky Mountain/Wildpeak, Yokohama Geolander, Goodyear Duratrac, etc. Finding an A/T that worked well in the rocks would be excellent Thanks for the help!

I have Toyos now, excellent tire but I am always looking to try some new stuff. Maybe something that doesn't weigh a metric ton haha

More than likely I will end up with one of the M/T choices unless someone gives some very convincing evidence of one of the A/Ts doing well in the rocks..

Id try the falken a/t's for your application. WOL is the only one I know with much experience on them, but from his reviews they were basically designed for you.

BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO's. Great all-terrain. Super ride, nice and quite. They wear like iron and last forever. I'm on my 3rd set from 3 different vehicles. Great tire. Go to the Discount Tire Direct rep on this forum. They'll give you a good price and their customer service can't be beat!
