youre basically in the same situation that i am in. I would think that most all terrain tires would work for you, however in my case I want something that is more aggressive looking. i was looking at the interco trxus MT's but I dont think they will fit the wheels with the size combo I want to go with. Now I am leaning towards a cooper tire that looks similiar and will fit those wheels.

I have the AT/KO BFG's (35") and they handle beautifully...and look awesome. I've taken them through mud and forestry with no problems

Check out the Cooper Discoverer STTs. I've got 286/75/16s and they're fantastic! Really quiet on the road, wear ridiculously well and they kick ass offroad. Plus they look bad ass too!

Here's a review by 4wd magazine: http://www.4wdandsportutility.com/te...iew/index.html

Here they are on my JK:

haha, she looks retarded as hell in that pic. She wasn't ready for me to take the pic and she was making faces at me when I snapped it.
