Buying a new set of tires!! Narrowed it down to these!!
 
These are all the tires that I'm interested in but I don't know what to get? My jeep is my DD, when I go offroad it's mostly mud 90% but does see some rocks 10% also.
Can someone point me in the right direction please.

Hope u have ur Dana 44 sleeved and gusseted, they are all going to be heavy as hell. I have Goodyear MTRs and they are awesome but really shine on the rocks. not sure thats what u will want, they are also good for DD. Why not KM2? I think they would be perfect for your combo of mud, rock and dd.

Mostly Street with occasional offroad - MTR/K

Based only on your stated Offroad usage - Irok

Make sure you have clearance for the 39's or 38's especially for the widths. I was looking at a 38" Toyo vs. the 37's and the 38's wouldn't have fit without more mods. Of your choices, I would go with the 37" Nitto's. Those were my next choice to the Toyos.

Keep in mind that the nittos are like the most heaviest tire on the market. I would like to get a set of those in 37's, but I'm worried about my D30

Yeah no kidding the Toyos are just as heavy and I have them in 37's on my D30. The D30 axles are as strong as the stock D44's. The weak point is the R&P.

Will they fit if I have 4.5 back spacing, flats and 4in lift
