OK. I'll bite. I am running 37x12.5x17 ProComp Xtreme MT's on mine. They are about as quiet as stock which was kind of disappointing to me. I like a little noise to remind me they are there. Mine have ~15,000 miles on them and have burned ~3/16" of rubber so far so I expect to get 50,000 miles out of them. I run them at 22 psi and they handle great on dry pavement, rain and they are awesome in the mud. Oh, I commute 80 miles a day on the interstate.

I can't speak to all other brands but I've run similar sizes in BFG MT's and Swamper SSR's and out of those I would probably go with these again.

I have an auto 2-door with stock 3.73 gears right now. I have the $$ saved up for 5.13's but I've been looking for a used front D44 axle. If I can't find one in the next couple of months I'll just sleeve and gusset my D30 and throw some better axles in it and see how long it lasts. I drive on the interstate with my OD turned off and it spins around 2,300 RPM at 70MPH which is about right. I've been getting ~15MPG on average if that helps.
