I'll rate the Maxxis RAZR MTs.
Noise - 10 because this is the quietest tire I've owned. I no longer drive with a top and you can hold a conversation peacefully while listening to the stereo. In fact, I hear the road noise of other trucks, cars, motorcycles, and vehicles over my Jeep.
Ride - 10 my JL rides better than it did off the dealer's lot with stock tires. My current tire is a 40x12.5x17 Maxxis RAZR MT and the ride is civilized. If you didn't need a step ladder and you were blind, you wouldn't even know my JL had mud tires on it.
Dry - 10 this tire handles perfectly on dry pavement - better than stock because it has more beef
Wet - 10 It's awesome in the rain unless you're the guy behind me :LOL:
Snow - 0
Trail - 10
because it's a 10 ply I usually run it at 4 psi - but I usually run around 5mph or less. The sidewalls are treaded heavily and super strong
Look - 10 I actually first gave this tire a try because of its looks
Overall - 10 This tire really is bullet proof and it's quiet. I can't believe I've found the perfect tire. And since nobody knows about it, it's not crazy expensive.
Wear - 10 The tire is only halfway through its tread wear at 43k miles. Come on - for a mud tire?
Those are some great ratings. Seems to be a common opinion too. These things may gain some traction (yes, pun intended) and which will inevitably affect the prices. Get them while they're hot I guess. Or in this case, before they're hot, so the price is still lower.

37" KM3s roughly 20000 miles on them.
Noise = 6 acceptable for mud terrains but very loud at speed
Ride = 8 very good for an MT
Dry = 8 very good for an MT
Wet = 8 very good for an MT
Snow = 7 they've only seen snow once and did great, but ice they are average
Trail = 9 nothing bad but they aren't stickies lol
Look = 10
Overall = 10 Best on/offroad tires I've owned in 24 years of driving Jeeps
Wear = 8 20k miles on them with plenty of tread left
I've had these. The "very loud at speed" is 100% accurate. I couldn't take it. They look great though.

Goodyear Duratrac
Noise = 7
Ride = 8
Dry = 8
Wet = 6
Snow = 9
Trail = 10
Look = 9
Overall = 10
Wear = 9

Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure (Kevlar)
Noise = 10
Ride = 10
Dry = 8
Wet = 7
Snow = 4
Trail = 5
Look = 6
Overall = 7
Wear = 5

Milestar Patagonia 37
Noise = 6
Ride = 6
Dry = 7
Wet = 7
Snow = 6
Mud = 7
Sand = 6
Trail = 5
Look = 5 sidewall pattern looks like a monster energy drink can
Overall = 6
Wear = 5
Would I buy again? = Nope

Cooper STT Pro 37/40
Noise = 7
Ride = 7
Dry = 8
Wet = 7
Snow = 8
Mud = 8
Sand = 9

Trail = 9
Look = 10
Overall = 8
Wear = 7
Would I buy again? = Yes, great tire

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 40
Noise = 7
Ride = 8
Dry =8
Wet = 8
Snow = 8
Mud = 8
Sand = 9

Trail = 10
Look = 10
Overall = 9
Wear = 7
Would I buy again? = Yes, my favorite tire so far, I don’t see myself moving away from this brand/ model.

KM3 39
Noise = 8
Ride = 8
Dry = 8
Wet = 7
Snow = 8
Mud = 8
Sand = 8

Trail = 7
Look = 7
Overall = 8
Wear = 6
Would I buy again? = No they run small and the traction gets progressively worse as they wear. I ran these on the rubicon when they were new and traction was great I thought “all the naysayers are full of crap” then understood what the complaints were about when I had about 10k miles on them. I began to struggle on obstacles everyone else on similar builds were making. Swapped to the STT pros and immediately felt a difference on the trail.
I appreciate the extra effort but mud and sand are not separately tracked. Basically trying to keep the list manageable without having too many variables for people to look at.

The Patagonia came out of the gate with a lot of hype, but their popularity seems to be faltering. I can only assume that you're right about the influencer thing. Which is why I wanted start a list like this. No hype, no social media status, incentives from vendors/manufacturers. Just pure and simple, honest reviews.
The STT Pro. Great looking tire, but the only tire I've had that I disliked more than it, is the KM3. The STT Pro were annoyingly loud, and complete trash in the snow and rain. Just awful tires for my area. Maybe better in an arid climate. Definitely not for me though, I loved the way they looked, but couldn't stand the noise, and they were borderline unsafe every time it rained.

Goodyear Duratrac R/T (the updated version) - 5,000 miles on them so far

Noise = 10 (they pretty much make no noise with this new tread pattern)
Ride = 8
Dry = 9
Wet = 7 (Minimal rain use at this point. Seemed to grip better)
Snow = N/A (No snow yet)
Trail = 10 (Same or better performance)
Look = 10 (These sidewalls look waaaay beefier)
Overall = 10 (Still a great value if you score them on a USAA discount)
Wear = N/A (too few miles to know how these will end up)
I haven't been on here in quite a while, but all the ratings have all been added/updated. The chart is now up to date.

And since, I'm back, I also added a new tire to the list (in addition to the others reviewed from the previous post).

I came across the Radar Renegade RT. I actually started with a set on my Ram. Similar to the Maxxis RAZR MT they're relatively unknown so pretty cheap. Honestly that's why I tried them on the Ram to begin with. They were cheap and all the reviews were good, so I figured I'd give them a shot. I was pleasantly surprised that were living up to the hype.

I liked them so much that I ditched the STT Pro's for a set of them on the Jeep too (swapped out the Rubicon rims for a black set while I was at it).
I didn't rate them for snow or wear yet. I haven't had them on the Jeep very long, but I'm optimistic about the snow traction based on how they performed on the truck. Wear is still unknown too but I'll update after racking up some decent miles on them.

My MOAB came with the KM2's and they are finally being replaced at around 15k. I"m finally getting a 2.5" lift and 35's and they are starting to cup. I've rotated them every 3k miles. Between Covid and retirement, the mileage for me is way down.

BFG KM2 - LT255/75R17C

Noise = 5 (Have always been really noisy on the highway.)
Ride = 8 (Overall a decent ride)
Dry = 10 (Great on dry pavement)
Wet = 6 (Slick on wet)
Snow = 8. (Snow performance was better than I expected.)
Trail = 10 (Loved these on the trail)
Look = 10
Overall = 8
Wear = 7

I'm going to an AT since this is my DD. I got used to the noise but they can get pretty loud at highway speeds.

I have experience with a few different tires I'll share my thoughts on. I live in AZ, so I do not have experience in snow for most of these tires, only the K02s. Feel free to add if you wish.

Noise = 9
Ride = 9
Dry = 9
Wet = 7
Snow = 8 (surprisingly well)

Wear = 6 (the trail is hard on them, I was losing chunks of tread often)

Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT (my first ever 35"+ tire)
Noise = 8
Ride = 8
Dry = 9
Wet = 6
Snow =
Trail = 7
Look = 6

Snow =
Trail = 5 (was only good in mud; i know people will disagree with me here)

Cooper Discoverer STT PRO (current tire, seems you either love em or hate em)

Wet = 6
Snow =
Trail = 10 (feel like it's their natural habitat)
Look = 10
Overall = 9

Kinda surprised the Falken MT isn't on the list, they're standard on the Willys here in Canada.
