Need some tire advice

im a service tech at discount tire. most of the all terrain tires will be noisy, and a lot of them arent worth the rubber theyre made of. silent armours are nice, but they wear quick. at3's are nice, but lack the off road capabilities of a better tire. and i would NEVER put a falken on a wrangler, the rocky mountain's are a good dirt road tire with the occasional snow fall and ice BUT expect to change them out quicker because the rubber is not that good of a compound.
If you want an aggressive tire with low road noise and good quality theres three choices id reccomend. the Toyo open country would be ther good tire, Nitto terra grappler would be the better tire, and the BFG All Terrain KO would be the best tire. all of those have good wear, good life and as long as you rotate them, chances are you wont have problems. happy jeepin and good luck
EDIT: I installed BFG mud terrains on my jeep after the stock SRA's took a crap. and i havent looked back

I've driven the Cooper AT3's on the wifes 07 JK, and threy're great on dry road, rain and excellent in the snow.
As for the WildPeaks, They are a nice looking tread that is quiet, drives well on dry pavement, and in the rain, and handles well in snow and slushy ice, at least on my 2000 Ford F150 XLT supercab.
