I just put on Dick Cepek Mud County 35". $233 ea, 68 lb w/o the rim. Very heavy but I have already come through some pretty dicey stuff with them. The tread extends over the side wall so when you turn the wheel completely, there is a very noticeable thumping when you are on the sidewall tread. Overall very happy w/ these tires.

I really like my 35 12:50 x17 Toyo open country's. They are great for every terrain. They are wearing very well and look great. They are a little stiff because they only come in 10 ply in that size. not toooo noisy. They were also very easy to balance. good luck.

Coop STT's! 
I think I was the first person on this site to get these tires and have praised them since Day 1. I have run a number of AT and MT's and these are by far the best tire. People are amazed at how quiet and great the ride is and I am still amazed that they look brand new and the capability. The Toyo's and KM2's are great tires as well but the Coop's are better IMHO.

I've had to replace two recently because the sidewalls got cut; and given the dirt road I was driving in it shouldn't have happened. I'm driving on oilfield lease roads; not true offroading. My main concern is mud. So my feeling is that I don't trust the sidewalls enough to run them in known rocky areas. I'm in Colorado and as far as I'm concerned CO is a jumble of rocks covered by a few inches of dirt. I'm going with KM2 on the JK.
