Default New tire decision

I have an '07 Sahara with Bridgestones on that are pretty close to done. Any thoughts on a descent set of A/T tires that perform great offroad as well as on the street since this is my daily driver Jeep?

Hankook Dynapro ATM. I am running 265/70 r 18 and I LOVE them on and off the trail. I will buy them again when these are done.

Rubicon takeoffs would look good.

I would recommend ProComp All-Terrain. this was my previous set of tires, and I couldnt be more pleased, I put 90k on them and they still had 15 to 20% of tread left!! Plus, they have a very good traction offroad specially in snow, and exellent on pavement.

My next set of tires will be the BF GOODRICH A/T KO... Great tire! Does anyone know if a Cragar soft 8 wheel is a good wheel for moderat offroading?

I have Nitto Terra Grapplers and they are awesome. Quiet ride and still aggressive for off road use and visual stimulus!!!!

These are darn nice tires and they look good. I came really, really close to buying them. But...

These are what I bought instead. For daily drive use and best all-around capability, I don't think there is a better tire on the market. I have run these on two Dodge trucks and now on my Jeep. I have never been anything but happy with them.

Running the LT-285/70/17 Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10 tires on Mamba MR1 wheels. I could not be happier with the performance of these tires and wheels on and off road.

I'd recommend a quality all terrian like the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, Mickey Thompson ATZ or Dick Cepek FC II.
