I have 33" BFG's mud terrain. Mine measure true @ 33". Road Handling; they are like driving on marbles; off-road they are great, I have 5k on them.
From what i have read on this forum site... i should have purchased the Duratracs. that's my 0.02

275/65 18 Hankook MT's for my Daily Driver. Slighlty bigger than stock, but they get the job done on and off road.

very happy with my Cooper Discoverer STT's so far...daily driver, 20 miles to work one-way, mostly highway. really dont hear them unless i'm on blacktop. getting right at 16mpg, BUT, i'm slowly learning to drive more and more conservatively!

STT's are great, and I almost got them. However, I did not want anything more than 1" bigger tan stock. STT's 275/65 are 6 ply versus Hankooks 10 ply at the same size. STT 35" are 10 ply, but too big for me!!!

You might wana consider the cooper STT as a DD mud terrain. They handle very well on road and wear quite slowly ( 30k on them and th're pretty new). Beside it's a very aggressive tire off road and perform extremely well in mud and snow (when aired down).
The thread is very similar to the toyo M/T but has more sipping and more self-cleaning pattern.Click image for larger version

I just replaced my 35" KM2's with the new ones. After reading several threads on the size being off, I measured them at the tire shop before they were put on the Jeep. The measured right at 34.75". My old tires - 46K - measured around 33.75" because of the tread wear. These are the BEST tires I have ever had and would recommend them to anyone!!!

Just went mudding this past weekend for the first time with my Duratracs. Fantastic tire. Works very well in the mud.

They do measure close to 35" when unmounted, however, once mounted they usually sit around 34" due to the weight of the Jeep.
