Once my stock BFGs wore out on my JKUR I chose the Falcon Wildpeak A/T3 when I had it lifted. I like these tires SO much better. They wear perfectly even and have very little street noise.

Another vote for Duratracs. Living in the frozen north these tires are a must for the ice and snow and still ride great on the highway and the trail.

I'm running pro comp Xtreme 2 and I can't say enough good about them. They do get noisey as they wear but that's to be expected. I have 35k mikes on them and they have a fair amount left. I'm running 285/75/16 and wish I had gone bigger bc they tend to run on the smaller side

Probably any aftermarket wheel you may have will have good backspacing for the tires. If they are factory wheels, thats another story..you may experience some rubbing. That said, tire recommendations will run the gamut. For 90% highway, all terrain is the way to go, unless you just want the look. I'll recommend BFGs because I have the KO2s on my JK and have had them in the past on another vehicle. They wear like iron and are good offroad in all but the stickiest situations. Heres my 285 70 17s, which are comparable to the size your asking about only in 17". 2.5" lift WITH wheel spacers. Good luck
