Default tire help

Ok I currently have xd798 rims on my Jk12 unlimited. These rims are 17 in size with a width of 9 inches. I am looking to upgrade the 32 inch tires that came from the factory but want to keep my current rims. I am looking to go bigger on the tire height 33, 34, or 35 but I don't need a rock crawler tire. I want an aggressive looking road tire because I drive a lot for my job. Any suggestions?

Duratracs seem to be a pretty good tire. I'm not sure how aggressive you're looking for though. Everyone has a different perspective on what an aggressive tire may be.
