Default Picked my wheels, which size wheels and tires for a DD?

Hi Guys
I think I am going to get the ProComp 7005 on my 4X4 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara thats going to have a 2.5 in Teraflex lift. I want a good on road all season daily driver tire (Ill barely ever be off road)

I am thinking the
BFG
All-Terrain T/AŽ KO

I really liked the MT's but have been told by quite a few they will be noisier then I would want.

What size wheel and tire should I get with those ProComp wheels?

Sorry, this sizing is all a mystery to me!
The tires and wheels are below to see the sizes avail (hope they are made in what Id want)

I'd go with the 17" x 9" wheels and the LT315/70R17 tires with the 2.5" lift

I'm thinking about getting 35's. I'll get the 17x9 / 5 on 5 (bolt pattern) rims and 315/70R17 or 35/12.50R17 tires.

I ran the BFG AT's on my '89 Wrangler and never had a problem in the winter. I will probably run them again when my stock Goodyears need replacing, they are a great all-around tire.

I say run the BFG AT KO's. Thats a great all year round tire with very little road noice. Another good choice is a Bridgestone Dueler AT REVO.

Great traction for both in all weather and even really good off road.

Good luck in your decision.

The BFG A/T is a great tire, but if a smooth and REALLY quiet ride is important to you, I'd recommend that you look at the Nitto Terra Grappler. I'm totally amazed and impressed with them!
