I'd look at the Super Swampers. JKs are pretty lightweight so the IROK Radial may be the best all around choice.

That's another good choice. I'd still stick with a radial tire because you may not get much sidewall flex with a bias ply tire.

TSL/SX's work for both the trail and DD. I like them because they are tough.
TSL Stickies would be good for trail
BFG Red Label Krawlers (stickies) are good for trail too.

I ran iroks on my old trail only tj and really liked them.

In my area a common combo is swappers in the rear and TSLs in the front. Problem is only a few sizes match..

How long does it take you to change out the set?
