Default A/T Tire Recommendations

I searched, I searched, I swear!

What all-terrain tires do you recommend for the XJ, and why do you prefer them?

A good general all-terrain tire would be the Hankook AT-M.

Beats the BFG All-Terrain T/A in tests.

BFGs are a really old design, as are the Goodyear Wrangler Radials.

BFGs tend to crack on the tread and especially in the tread-to-sidewall area when they get a little age on them.

Well, I'm coming into this from the mad, mad world of road racing in Michigan with my daily driver. I bought a new set of racing tires every spring, and a new set of snow tires every fall, so anything that gets 50,000+ miles is okay in my book!
