Default Good set of road tires?

My new JK came with some nice mud tires but I was considering purchasing a set of road tires for the majority of the miles I put on it. I've had good luck with Bridgestone on my sedans in the past, any recommendations?

A couple things unique to where I drive on a daily basis:
Normally 40-55mph
Hot pavement, high exposure to sunlight (Phoenix)
needs to be a good rain tire, roads are very slick during monsoon season

Are you still stock? Just grab a slightly used set of Sahara take-offs for cheap. Hard to beat the prices you'll find on those, and lets you use the extra money for more mods.

I drive between 45 and 90 miles everyday. I bought a set of Bridgestone "Revos" ATs and love them. Can't go wrong with the "Revo" design.......great tire.

BFG All-Terrain K/O

Nice all-around tire if you want a smoother ride but still have good traction.
