i also recommend the bg km2, they are supposed to last longer than the old kms. they are pretty aggressive and i have had great luck with the kms, my next tire is going to be the km2s. but its all a matter of preference

The BFG's are a great and impressive tire, but they're too hard. They do great off road and such but in rain they're ****. At least from my experience with them.

Edit: Whoops, skipped over the mud terrain part...I have the ATs

the km2's don't last long if you do any road driving. the mastercrafts are a very good tire especially for the price. i'm getting another set of 31's here soon. i highly recommend the mastercrafts.

I e ran the km2 on my ford superduty in sizes ranging from 33" to 40's and I will never run a different tire. I think they do fine in wet weather. If ur that worried about water have them siped. That would help and no need to worry about them wearing out faster because the jeeps are really light. My 2c

I guess the guy siped the center of the tire and found it to have great performance in snow and ice. dunno about the rain. I can't tell you about their onngevity.
