Default can spend $200 per tire.. but which one?

I am planning on buying 17 inch pintlers, and I'm looking for a nice light weight all terrain, or not-so-noisy MT.. 33-34.5 REAL diameter is preferred.. Don't care about snow or water performance.

Seems like all of the tires I've been interested in are over $300 each... was hoping that maybe someone had options for me..

PS I have tread lightly, and would get $100 rebate on goodyear tires.... which would allow me to spend $225 per tire..

Thanks in advance!

For good cheap tires here are my two favorites. First is treadwrights. They are very cheap and very good retreads. Do a search on the forum and you will be hard pressed to find a bad review. Second option would be falken wild peaks. They also get great reviews.

Here are my treadwrights in a MT pattern. 285/70/17

How do these tires rate in road noise, and more importantly.. weight?

The falkens are very quiet as are most AT. They are also not overly heavy from what I've read and been told. One guy runs them in our club and have had no issues on the trail.
