Default Tire Help

I have put off as long as I can buying tires due to the HUGE cost. I have a 2.5" coil lift waiting to go on. I am looking at 285-75-165 or 315-75-16...I want the 315 but $ is the big differance. I am looking for a good tire on pavement/wet/snow...The jeep dosent see alot of off road but do wnat somethign that can take a light trail too. I love the look of MT tires but knwo they SUCK in show and today has made me really think about tires hear due to a good snow we have had. I have looked at the General Grabbers AT2 or somethign like that...If at all possalbe I liekt o try to get away with less than $800 I know that a hard sell but any help would be awsome.

i know they don't look real agressive but, i'm currently running a set of falken wildpeak at's on my orange JK and they work surprisingly well. on pavement they are super quite and provide a good grip even on wet slipperly surfaces and even on the rocks, the sidewalls are tough enough to take a beating and the rubber compound sticky enough to get you up and over.

I replaced my BFG M/T's with BFG KO's in 33"X17 and love them. They are super quiet on the highway, and still aggressive enough for me offroad. They are a bit pricey however, but the last set I had on a 2009 lasted 50K plus.

X2 on this. I love the tires and they wear like steel. We just had some snow up here in No. Illinois and theses tires worked great.
