Default I need tires QUICK!

Hey, I just put in an order for some Procomp 7005s for my Jk and I need to pick my tires within 2 days. What do you recommend for a 33" tire that will spend 70% of its life on the road, and the rest offroad.

P.s. I also used the " search " function frequently, I just want some random opinions. Thanks

My vote is for either Duratracs or Nitto Trail Grapplers. I am currently running 315/70R17 Duratracs. A lot of people have good things to say about Toyo M/Ts.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention, since I live in Canada I can't order Nittos, since Kal Tire is the only one that has the rights to sell them. :(

my vote goes for the treadwright guard dogs. i have them in the 35 inch and they are great. My jeep spends most of its time on the pavement and there is very little hum from them. Plus for the price you cant go wrong. Not sure about shipping to canada though

I'd go with the Toyo M/T's all the way! I've logged over 15K miles with these tires and while rotating them with every oil change these damn tires still look new...really not helping since I want to upgrade to 37's but have to wait till these wear out...or possibly sell them
