I just put some of the tires I was looking at but this is working out for me because I get other opinions and different tires to look at.

Can't go wrong with the KM2. Quality, balences out nice, gets good reviews. For how aggressive it is it's quiet, but not AT quiet

I really like the performance of the baja claws, but I must warn you the have 4000mi on them and they are breaking chunks off and are wearing quick.

I purchased the MTZ because I run mostly in wet soil/mud/clay mountainous areas. I also must deal with wet/snowy/icy condition on and off pavement. They have amazing on road control and feedback with no vibration and almost negligable noise in the jeep even with the soft-top. To me the BFG is a good choice if you have alot of dry Moab-type bedrock or terrain that you will wheel.

Finally I really needed a mud-grade tire that behaved on the highway and looks good, it is my only vehicle, MTZ does a great job for the price.

I've had the GY MTR's,, wear quickly,, and at low speed on road feel square,, but off road or deep snow they kick ass.. I have a general dislike for BF goodrich tires as they have a soft er sidewall and I do not like the flex they have on the highway.. I do not know if the newer ones are as bad,, but the older AT's were.. For a AT type tire I have to say the firestone destination has really good road manners and wear like iron,, good in snow and ice.. off road,, not so much.. like a street tire out of place.. good in hard pack but mud.. not good.. The firestone MT has ggod reviews and I like the cooper sst's. but I'm leaning to the xtreme mt's.. or the hankooks..

Take a look at this page, it compares all of the MT's out there.
.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/MT-Mud_Terrains.htm

One note on Toyo, I went wheeling with someone with them and the sidewalls are just too stuff. Even when air'd down to 12 lbs it did not do much to increase the size of it's footprint.
