265/65/17's. If you got them mounted and balanced for that, you got a hell of a deal, because the price I was quoted is mounted, balanced and tax included and is supposedly the guys dead cost...

general at2's will be just right for you and the jeep . no one is going to say them because everyone on hear is brand name bias. "gotta get the big name hammer" BS those AT2's will out last all of them other ones and are resonably priced and a nice tread pattern to boot.

Well, I gotta be honest, my mind was 90% made up when I posted the poll.
I consider Toyo's, Nitto's and Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek tires the class of the 4x4 world. I just don't have the extra $ to pay $40 more a tire for the ATZ's and I'm not convinced they are much if any better than the Nittos.
The Generals are a great price and a nice tread pattern, but my biggest issue with my existing BFGs is that I have to plug holes a lot where I go. The Generals just don't have the ply rating the Nitto's or Mickey's do.
So I ordered the Nitto's today, will have them on Saturday and post pics after the weekend...

I would, except they are a bit too aggressive for my needs. I feel the Terra's will be perfect for the Jeep. Should prove to be better on the highway and I log a LOT of highway miles on the Jeep. The camping trip I took in May was a total of 3700 miles with only some dirt trails and light off-roading to get to some trout fishing spots...
