Default got a wheel/ help with tire choice...

Hello, I finally picked up a wheel - Rugged Ridge 17x9 about 4-9/16" BS.

suggestions needed on tires size and brand
I really wanted Dick Cepek Fun Country - but local stores in NW indiana are not cooperative on these
they are pushing Goodyear Duratracs, and BFG KM2's

size - either 285/70/17 ( or maybe 33x12.5x17 )

curious on thoughts ( tire, and size )

thanks

I would go with the Duratracs for a Daily Driver. Mine are AWESOME and kick butt everywhere.

The KM2s are nice if you don't see much snow.
