IF YOU WANT TO SOUND LIKE YOU'RE TAKING OFF ON A LANDING STRIP ON ROAD AND IF YOU WANT VERY VERY AGGRESSIVE SIDE LUGS AND AMAZING MUD CAPABILITIES NITTO MUD GRAPPLERS THE WAY TO GO

If you are looking for an all around use MT, my opinion (supported by both personal experience, experience of friends, and articles in print magazines):
1- Toyo (in a class by itself--completely bulletproof, quiet onroad, incredible offroad).
2- BFG KM2 (quiet, inexpensive, lighter than the Toyos)
3- Cooper STT, Mickey Thompson MTZ, ProComp Xtreme MT, Goodyear MTR (all great tires, but not in the same class--in my experience--as the Toyos).
4- Maxxis Bighorn, Hankook Dynapro, Kumho KL71 (discount tires that are worth a look).

If your staying under 35" I have to agree with the others on the toyos. they handle great and last over 50,000 mile on my 3/4 ton diesel and the sharp scoria rock that we had back in Wyoming did not bother them at all.
If you are going over 35" tires. On my Scrambler I have used the 37" SS boggers. good tire on rock and mud, ok in snow and poor on ice. road manners were ok, but loud. I had a set of bias ply SS TSL 38" and HATED them! Absolutly could not ballence them. did ok on rocks and mud. louder than the boggers and got a bad death wooble between 35 and 45 miles per hour. did I mention that I hatted them?
Then the SS IROK 39.5" came into my life and they were sent here by God himself and proof that he love us crawling our jeep all over his rocks.
They are great on the rocks, great in the mud, great in the snow, do good on ice. They are light, ballence with less than 5oz per tire and you can hear your self think. If you go big go with IROK. The down side of going that big is most of those tire do not last long as far as mileage is concerned. 20,000-30,000 miles tops. (that could be 'cause of the rock crawling though.)
