Howdy all. Looking for some advice.

Background: I have a 23' Willys 30k miles sitting on the factory LT 255 75R17 Firestone Destination MT2 tires with Synergy 5X5 1.75in hub centric spacers. Daily driver with the occasional light off roading. Soon to be looking to replace them with AT tires. The MTs are loud, sloppy in rain/snow, and didn't wear well. I live in the northeast so I need something for all seasons. I want to eventually do some overlanding with the family with a small light rooftop tent. It's my first Jeep so I'm still learning how to build properly.

I'm eyeing up Nittos, Falkens, and Toyos. Hear a lot of 50/50 about the BF Goodrich. I want a quiet ride, good for rain/snow and quality assurance off road, and wears well. 31' or 33'? Keeping original Jeep Moab 17'x7.5 wheels. Not looking to add backspacing. Rating for weight?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

M/T Baja Boss is a winner. Ive got the skinny 35's. Perfect for me on factory Rubicon wheels with 1.5" spacers. Just a hair outside of the fenders.

Falkens are typically heavy AF, the MT’s are reportedly an excellent tire but typically heavy too. I chose Toyo AT3 over them due to 9 lbs less per corner rotational mass (59 vs 68 lbs) they have proven a terrific tire.

I opted for the KO3s a few months ago after pondering the choices for quite a while. For me, it was a close call with the Toyo AT3s. I've been very happy with the KO3s. But you'll get a lot of opinions here and no clear consensus.
