I'm upgrading my stock 18" JLUS wheels to 17s w/ 33 or 34 tires & a budget lift but I'm having a hard time picking a tire. We live on a dirt road in the high desert & run a lot of trails (Burns Canyon, Hondo, Giant Rock, Johnson Valley + off road in Marble Mountains) so a tire that handles well in sand & sharp rocks is needed but I also drive round trip to LA weekly for work so decent wear on pavement is a plus. I don't mind a little road noise & am not overly concerned with stiffness but I do need a tire that does well at 75-80mph (hwy).
Love the look of Ridge Grapplers.
KO2s seem popular & potentially better on wet roads but I don't love the look as much.
A/T3W?
Anything in particular I need to be on the lookout for or should mark off the list? For wheels is there a finish that holds up better on dusty roads & getting scratched by creosotes?
My stock suspension & wheels have been more than capable thus far, I'm just 30k miles in & ready to go bigger.
