Thumbs up Help Me Decide which 37" Tire for DD

I am going to be pulling the trigger on my lift and new wheels tires soon. I still cant decide on what 37" tire I want for my DD.

My commute to and from work everyday is only around 10 miles so mileage isnt to much of a factor. Also I will be wheeling primarily on rocks and some snow, mud, sand when I can find it. This is for my 09 Sahara JKU. Also if anyone can let me know where the best deals are at right now for wheel and tire packages thats appreciated too. I have a couple quotes but more info never hurts.

Here are what Im choosing between Of course feel free to chime in if you have a Tire that you like not on my list and why.
BFG KM2
Toyo MT

My Fiance's Jeep came with 37x13.5 Interco SS-M16's on it and so far we really like them. (Only have 800 miles on the Jeep so far and she won't let me wheel it yet.) They are very noisy and seem to do pretty good in the snow. The Jeep is in Michigan. If you want to see pictures of it it was the Bushwacker Jeep for SEMA this year.

Nitto is coming out with a 37 in the trail grappler. That would be my pick. Very good road manners for a mud terrain style tire.

I like the KM2 tire. But as with any tire that has large lugs (tread) at the end of it’s life they become cupped and make more noise.

I run 37" Toyo's. Very happy with them. Great on and off road and they look cool

Have the Toyo's myself....love them, IMO not loud on the road, tough as hell, load range E, tires will last a long time too.....They aren't cheap though....

Went with the 37 Toyo's and love them. I have had them on two Fords before this and have always been very happy. Als I drive around 60miles a day with no complaints.

Think I'll end up with Pitbulls. Looking at the rocker radials, but maybe the maddogs if they come out with a 37"

Nice looking rig your Fiance has there. What hood is that?
