If you want them, get them. They may be heavy, but it's all about how and where you drive. All freeway, a lighter tire might be a better choice. A good bit of offroad, especially if you like the rocks, they are a great choice.

I run them with no problems so far. D30 front / D44 rear. I didn't consider tire weight when shopping around, I just got them because they are a great quality, long lasting tire. I only wheel a few times a year.

I am running 35x12.50x17 on my Rubicon 44's. No Problems. Second set, bullet proof tire. I highly recommend them, very smooth on the road too.

Maybe you could try these? Nitto trail grappler. Awesome off-road and civilized on the road, and they aren't very noisy which is nice.

Toyo is the parant company of Nitto. The two tires are very similar in performance.

Oh cool I didn't realize. I really like the nitto's. I had toyo open country on my old pick-up truck and they were very good as well.
