theyre the rocky mountains. great street tires, they clean out mud and snow with ease, the only problem is that they are a softer rubber and they wear faster, although mine lasted me 38k miles. they also dont grip the rock faces too well so climbing with them is nearly impossible, but very quiet on the streets.
if you have money to throw at tires, get a good set that will last. i wasnt pleased how quick these burnt through.

I'm running some brand new duratracs. They're pretty nice. And have some great reviews. Also, I have the 31" wildpeak A/T's on the ZJ. they're pretty nice.

some specs
[*]1990 laredo[*]straight 6 4 litre[*]original motor[*]everything was stock down the relay cover and only worked on by dealerships[*]215/75/r15 michelin tires that were almost new[*]automatic
this is the day after i bought it
the next thing that was done was the lift after a few weeks.
[*]2 inch spacers shackles
unfortunately the shackles were in the way of the exhaust so had to cut two sections off and weld the angled tip back down to prevent warping the bushings.
ive been painting things blue too so it flows well.
here's the shackle. and you can see the exhaust tip turned and welded shorter.
and the spacer is shown after i tore apart the front end.
got it all back together and had the windows tinted. (livin in arizona takes a toll without having any tint.)
after i ran a small flex test with the small tires and sway bar on.
after a month or so i finally got my 30x950's... wanted to stay away from mainstream so i went with Falken Rocky Mountain ATS. they've been amazing since ive had em.
and its been this way for the past month. works well for me since im a highschool senior and i dont all the money in the world. haa
went up to Flagstaff over the weekend and went out a little with my brother and his 4runner.
his Toyota with my baby jeep:
the Jeep sits like this for now.
..
thats it for now.
Im ALWAYS open for suggestions so whatever youve got to share. I'm all ears. let me know what you guys think.

Really? I've only had mine for about two months now, but like I said I'm only using them on my dd and they seem to be holding up alright so far!

i was thinking of getting those back then. but i went against the mainstream tire, then i realized theyre mainstream for a reason.
