Default Tire Choice

I have in stalled a 2.5 AEV lift on my 2013 JK Unlimited. Looking for mainly street usage with a good look in a 35x12.50.17. Someone suggested Toyo Open Country !!. Any other suggestions. Daily Street Driver. Any other mud tires that would be great street tires also or should I stick with all terrain? Very conflicted. I desire good wearabilty and less noise as possible, but want an aggressive look.

Falken Wildpeaks or Falken Rocky Mountain, same tire except that the Rocky Mountain are Discount Tire only and a little cheaper.

How was the install of the lift and how are you liking it? I'm looking at the same lift for sometime in the future.

Mud tire and no noise really aren't found in the same tire. I would compromise with the duratrac. Aggressive, quiet, siped, good in Mud. Only warning is that it took me three times to balance them right. Get them road force balanced.

Default Tires for your Jeep

I've had my Toyo Open Country II's for about 5,000 miles now. They are reasonably quiet on the road and work great off-road. Would highly recommend them.

I've only had my Duratracs on for about 500 miles but so far I love them. Pretty aggressive looking and really quiet on the street. They are also really light compared to other tires.

The only downfall I found is in a 315/70-17 ( which should be about a 35" tire ) only measure to 33.5" on my 17x8.5 wheels.
