i have 37in Dynopro Mt's... awesome looking tire with side bite... not loud... lasted pretty good on my 03 2500 dodge... but when they got close to bald i had two split in the middle of the side grips... one did it then i got a spare and then another did it so i got new tires... but i was trying to suck them dry anyway... good tire... check them out!

damn 94heep, a hell of a thread you started here. all of these tires people are naming are good, just depends on how much you want to spend. like the old saying you get what you pay for

ive got H1 2 piece steel wheels and H1 37in BFG military OZ tires on it now... i only paid $400 shipped from cali for the tires with 80% tread... so you cant beat the price for them... but there 16.5's and 37's are big for any XJ really... and thats the only size the military got them...
