Another vote for Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's. I have 50,000 miles on a set of 5 (rotate them all) 37", and they still have 5-10k left. They are quiet yet capable, good in the wet. That all said, the Mickey's aren't cheap, and I am curious and just bought a set of 5 Toyo RT's for a lot less. I'll probably put those on around Thanksgiving.

Falken wildpeaks again lol
285/70/17. 3 ply sidewall, D load. I got these for around $190/tire installed at wheelworks. Comes with free tire repair and rotation for life.
I've had them for almost 2 full years now and my jeep's my dd. They are great on road, in the wet and are also really good offroad. I haven't tried other a/t's but I can't imagine another a/t tire would perform better all around. I think the only con on the wildpeaks is they are relatively heavy being 3 ply. But nice to have that in the rocks.

BFG K02 in 285/70/17 here, E rated, zero noise, smooth as a Caddy ride at 30-32psi, considering they're mounted in a rig with front/rear live axels 
,
Dont know if they're good tires for fuel economy though, i've never seeing anybody concerned with MPG driving a Jeep, but for what's worth it, i get 350 miles consistently with 19 gallons of fuel after 2" lift, tires/wheels, and at least 400lbs of extra weight from bumpers/sliders/skids, this is still with the factory 3.21's.

The ONLY difference i think, is i have a defenders roof rack. Would the roof rack be hitting me with that huge loss of MPG? or is 70-75 too inefficient of a speed?
It was 2000 miles of driving so that was a big difference in how much i paid for gas...

As per mpg, they're pretty good and super quiet. Running the 35s.

I had my ko2s sidewalls split about 6" on my 3rd run. Thankfully had road hazard and got a replacement. Weird thing is that I wasn't even playing on anything that gnarly. Never had any issues with the rubi MTs and I've put those through much rougher terrain. Bad luck I guess... As per mpg, they're pretty good and super quiet. Running the 35s.

About three weeks ago, I got some 315/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs installed. I was expecting a big power loss, fair loss in fuel economy, and a rougher ride compared to the factory 255/75/17 BFGoodrich Mud Terrain TAs. I have been pleasantly surprised so far. The Duratracs have better traction on dry and wet pavement than the BFGs. They have a more solid feel on the road as well. Driving to work and back for a week got me the exact same fuel economy (after using a Supechips FlashCal). There is a little power loss noticed when taking off, but the 4.10 gears handle it no problem. It's not enough of a loss to make me search for ways to increase power. The ride is little rougher, but the roads here are full of cracks that have been sealed, so I probably notice it more than a lot of people would. I don't find them uncomfortable at all. I also don't notice anymore road noise over the stock tires. Also, they're one of the lightest tires I found in that size, which helps with minimal power loss and keeping fuel economy up. At this point, I'm very happy with the Duratracs.

Cooper ST Maxx
10k on a set of Cooper ST Maxx 35s. Happy all around with MPG, quiet road, and off road performance on both mud and rocks. I air down to 12-15 depending on conditions and have no problem. 35 psi on road. Tread seems to be wearing well with rotations every 5k. They look excellent - can't forget that.
