Default M/Ts on a daily driver

Anyone running mud tires for their Jeep if its a daily driver? I want to remove the SRAs from mine, and can't find an A/T that I really like for my stock 17" wheels. I ran Goodyear MT/Rs for years on my TJ, and while I loved them off-road and the go-anywhere cockiness they gave me, I grew to hate the headache I'd have at the end of the day. Even with that experience, if I again "have to have" M/Ts that will see maybe 250-300 miles a week on pavement in all Colorado weather, including trails two or three weekends a month, are there any suggestions? How are the BFGs working for Rubicon owners who didn't yank them right off?

I ran MT/R's on my TJ and loved them all the time, I now run BFG MT's on my JK and they seem to be just fine. With botht he ride was good, no excessive tire noise.

Im running 33" MT claws and they are great on the road. I live in the smokey mountains and even in rain they hold mountain roads fine. They ride a little rough and loud as they get close being worn out but also seem to last fairly long.

Toyo MTs. Low noise, high tread mileage, best MT out there.

I'm running Nitto Mud Grapplers on mine and it's my daily. Noisey, but not loud...good looking and grip very well on/off road.

Default I like this one...

I like the way the Kumho KL71 looks, don't know about the quality, the reviews are pretty good on Tirerack



Here are my Big O Bigfoot X/T, a little noisy but great off road!

BFG MTs. You can get them at almost any tire shop. Convenience and availability is why I run them. Who wants to special order tires and wait?

You have the 18" rims right? Do they Rub? Did you need tire spacers?
