Toyo's but I love MTR's. The MTR's didn't come in the size I wanted. So I had to shell out for the Toyo's!

Tires are tricky to rate in a poll like this, everyone’s opinions and experiences are different. Its fun to look at the results though, it does give you an idea of which tire is the most well rounded and performs best for most people. If you think about it, the only thing the people, that have voted, have in common is that they own a Jeep (or want one) and are a member on this site. They all drive slightly different. They all live in different places. They all have different sensitivity to road noise and comfort and they are all basing their opinions on their experience with one or more of the tires listed and or things they've heard and or read. (It is pretty cool that boards like this exist so we can actually speak to people who right their review, it really adds a lot to the value of their opinions)

As the pole continues. Focus more on what your going to do with the tire, where you are going to go and how often you are going to do it. Then look at each tire in those aspects, read the reviews and ask questions for the good and bad reviews. Maybe someone who writes a bad review was sold a tire that was a 10ply when the user was use to a 4 ply and not "hates how rough they ride" or maybe someone loves them but hardly takes them off road. Also ask the experts, and ask a few of them. Good luck with your research. I voted for the KM2's. They seem to be the best all around MT tire in your list. (not knowing how aggressive you drive, how much on/off road driving you do, how sensitive you are to rough roads or noise.) The BFG KM2 has been receiving great reviews on all levels.

I don't believe that the MT/R's come in a 35x12.50r17....So based on that I chose the BFG's. I have the 37X12.50r17 MT/R's myself though on a 4" FT lift.
