Default New Tires.

I'm getting ready to buy new tires, 36k on the Wranglers already.
Is there an agressive "looking tire" that has good road manners. I would love to get a Mud terrain or similiar tire, but I just don't wheel in the deep stuff too much. However, I love the looks of the mud tires.
So is there a Hybrid tire out there?
Thanks,
John

I had Dick Cepek Radial Fun Country II's on my TJ, best tire I've ever owned, looks mean as hell too.

Before I had my JK, I had a set of Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's on my old school Isuzu Rodeo. I thought they looked pretty good and they stuck like glue on the pavement. I never had to reach for the 4WD lever unless I was getting into deep snow or heading into a mudded up trail. Considering the amount of pavement Vs. offroading I do, I will most likely put another set on my JK once I wear out these damn tiny little 225 Wrangler's

I have BFG AT's on my WJ. I had them on my YJ as well. The ones I have now, I have about 60K miles on them, they still have tread on them! Not loud, aggressive looking, and do decent off road, (Mild offroad)

I have Cooper Discoverer S/T's on my JK and in my opinion they are better both on and off road than the BFG AT's I had on my YJ and Dakota, I have 15k on them and still have 3/4 of the tread left.
