i agree on the hankooks! I just bought a set of them a couple months ago and loved them (had to take them off when i bought my new jeep a couple weeks ago). Prior to them i had the Firestone Destination A/T and the Hankooks were much better in my opinion.

I gave him the low down on
Firestone Destination's
Goodyear Silent Armor's
BF Goodrich AT's and Rugged Terrains
Goodyear Assurance, Duratracs
My advice with him, and what I think he would want, was the Firestone's or Silent Armors for a more aggressive than his stock Bridgestone's, good wet traction, AT tire, or the Goodyear Duratrac or BFG AT's for most aggressive AT tires.
I also gave him our JKForum direct tire vendor's website.
Thanks, for the help!

Cooper Discoverer CTS. Offers a 255/70/18.
Lots of pickup guys run these because they have GREAT on road manners, and although they won't get you very far through mud or grip a slick rock, they cost less than $200 a tire and will be fine for moderate trails or hauling light loads.

I have the 4 dr. stock Sahara and decided on the Silent Armors to replace the Bridgestones.
50 k warranty: http://www.goodyear.com/en-US/tires/...er-silentarmor
Out of curiosity, how many mile's did he get out of the stocks ?
I currently have 22k and they look fine for at least another year.

I've had the Firestone Destination ATs on my Pathfinder for about 4 years now (on my second set) and I love them. I also had a set on my Ford Ranger before I sold it. Great tires and I got more than 50K out of the set on my pathfinder. For the money you can't beat them.

I have more than 75000 miles on my stock oem bridgestone duelers/ '09 Sahara. Rotated them every other oil change, including the 5th wheel rotated in. I'm shopping now because the wet traction is getting tricky... even though tire rep said I could get through winter no prob.
I'm stuck getting the same since price is right at costco and tirerack but felt I wanted something a little more agressive (or at least better in snow, moving back to Canada next year...)
