Default New tires & wheels - any thoughts

I am looking at new tires and wheels to replace my stock Sahara setup (32 Bridgestones on 18s) on my JK.

It is my daily driver and when I am off road, it is typically beach and dirt roads. I like the look of MT Classic IIs. I want wider and more aggressive looking tires. I am between the following:
1. Goodyear Wrangler Durtracs – 285/70/17
2. Nitto Terra Graplers – 295/70/17
3. General Grabber - 33x12.50R17 (which I would mount red letters in)
The Generals are about $130 (for 4) than the others.

Any opinions on the tires?

Also – anyone use Tirepackage.com? Their prices seem pretty good.

Go to discount tire, they were lower than Amy online site I could find. Free rotation and balancing.

Out of those choices, the Duratracs. They are the most aggressive of the bunch and good on all terrains
