If your locked into 17s, I would go with the KM2s. If your willing to move to 18s, the Toyo OC MTs as the 37x17x13.5s are a pretty stiff tire with a load index of 131 while the 37x18x13.5s have a load index of 124. With 17" wheels the 37" Toyos are likely going to need an on road inflation rate of under 25lbs for proper wear and tire spring rate. Might be OK if you have an extremely heavy JK, but otherwise I would stay away.

Voted Toyo's cuz I love mine. Although their stated 13.5" width is an actual 14.6" overall in 37x13.5x17...something to take note of if your backspacing is tight.

I would have voted for the Pitbull Maddog MT radial if it was an option...the rockers are a little extreme tread-wise for the list you've got going.

The Pitbull Rockers do come in Radial now - 37x12.50R17LT
