Your not alone Iv been debating what tires to get for months. So far iv narrowed it down to. Goodyear duratrac. Goodyear fierce attitude. Mickey thompson claws. Maxxis bighorn. Bfg km2. And I'm sure I'll find others that I like. I also can't decide if I want to get 265s again or 33s.

Goodyear MT/R-K
BFG AT KO2 (reluctantly)
Maxxis Trepador
Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ
Every time I think I've decided, I find something new about one of them

I run the straight STT, and love them...thinking of moving to the pro series next round. BTW I've been through 2 sets in 3 states, so they've seen it all. Great tire at a reasonable price.

No, I don't lick fish.
I'm in a toss between the Firestone Destination MTs and the Cooper STT Pro. But then, I have plenty of time to decide at this point.

When it comes to actual offroad use, I only manage to take a few trips each year. I just don't like how A/T tires look, especially that particular one.

It would be a solid purchase. I DD my Jeep about 80 highway miles per day, and I need to contend with wet pavement/standing water, snow, ice, and wet grass.

Well that got longer than I thought it would. [/rant]
Oh and Cooper AT3's have really good reviews minus the incredibly weak sidewall...

That was the pic that came to my mind when he said that. The 37's already seem fairly small. Could you even go 40's? Or do you have enough flex they'd rub? Also you DD it so that could be too much?

I don't have axles to support 40s. Tire weight is actually one of the factors I'm considering as I shop around, and I think I'm gonna drop the extra coin on alloy wheels for the same reason. I can switch to Street Rod tags in 2018, and then I can do whatever I want. The plan is to stretch with D60/14b and 40s or 42s
