Default Best AT / Tire under $200?

I'm looking for an all terrian tire for my unlimited, most likely a 33x12.50x15 or a 33x11.50x15 if I can find one in that size. Which tire is the best all around tire in my price range ( $200 or less). Mostly driving on the highway ( 70 mile round trip commute), needs to be quiet as I only have a soft top and wear like steel. Should I get the BFG AT or a Dick Cepek AT or another brand ? Thanks Chris

Big O XT- Full off road warranty, good tread life with decent traction.

BFG's wear like steel with frequent rotating and balancing. I got 50k+ miles on a set before I sold the vehicle and they looked like they were about done.

Terra G's run smoother and quieter, but have less traction. I only had them for about 30k miles on the set before I sold the vehicle and they looked like they had another 10k or so in them.

Both were 33's on full size 4x4 trucks.

Hope this helps.

ive also been running the terra grapplers. price is great, minimal road noise, great wear. no compalints so far.
my buddy has them on a f-250 diesel and he also agrees they are a great tire for the price.
my only complaint is that they look a little small when you compare them to other tires of the same size. just my opinion
