What didn't you like about them? I had 3 sets in 38-40" and liked them. Smooth/quiet on road, did well in winter and rain, performed well off road (not a rock crawler), stayed balanced.
The only downside was they wear a bit quicker. However, that is due to the softer compound which helps with...
I've found often that they aren't. I've tried many different tires, including more budget friendly options and find often they are solid tires. I've also bought "top notch" tires that were disappointing.
I'm up there in the jeep count with you as well. I've only had one that was a problem. 2017 Wrangler. It would fail to shift, engine struggled etc. None of the dealerships were of help. Finally got it partially fixed and traded it in.
