Default Another tire question...

I've read and read other postings but wanted some direct feedback on my situation.

Unlimited X 4x4 - want to upgrade to 33s on 16" rims (currently running the 17" optional factory rims with 32s). Considering my JK spends 98% of the time on the road, I am only considering ATs but want a more aggressive look than the Goodyears. I've narrowed down to BFG AT (had them on a TJ years ago) and Nitto Terra Grapplers. I've seen the Nittos on several SuperDuty trucks around town and think they look decent and cost about $40-50 less per tire than the BFG.

What kind of onroad performance can I expect from the Nitto and what should I expect for treadlife. Should I just suck it up and pay the extra $200-250 for the BGFs? Any other AT options I should consider for decent road ride plus nice looks?

Thanks all!

I like these as a compromise between full-on mud tires and all-terrains:

They ride real smooth and aren't too noisy, without giving up the look of a mud tire. Good luck with you decision.
