Default Tire comparisons

ok so I obviously want the best tire I can get. I want a good offroad, aggressive look, and most importantly long tread life. i couldn't give a rats *** about noise if that helps. So I have a small list:
-Cooper discoverer stt(like em, hard to find tho)
-dick cepek mud country(hear they wear good)
-Km2's(1/2 the world runs these. Hear mixed things about wear)
-bfg a/t ko(I no they wear decent but wud like something a little beter offroad)

those are my 4 big players. I ask for honest input on any or all of these as well as any suggested tires(nothing over $220ish) thanks!

The Cooper stt is a good performer, I used them on a fleet of trucks and had good results. I had a set of BFG A/T KOs and hated them. Made my ZJ feel like an old farm truck. I now have Big O BigFoot A/Ts on my ZJ and like them a lot, they're made by Cooper and I should get 50k miles out of them.

A lot of goodyear dealerships around here sell them.


Other choices depending on size you are going to run:

Treadwright and mastercraft
