Is this your daily driver? If so, how much street driving do you do?
How often will you be wheeling this ride?
Your tire selection shouldn't rely so much on looks as to how it performs on the terrain you most often drive on.

AT tires perform better than MT's in certain aspects...

I think this is why so many people run KM2's, its a great all around tire. looks decently aggressive, pretty quiet for a MT, and does very well on and off road. I love mine.

Also teh tread compound is super soft on a lot of the very aggressive tires which will cause them to wear out faster, not really a big problem but worth thinking about. also a lot of those Super agressive tires aren't made in a 33, so that should limit your choices.

I sure do like the look too though...

Well I bought the Jeep to keep the miles off my 04' Cummings. It will be mostly driven on the street and wheeled on some weekends. I do want a good tire that performs good but also looks good while doing it. I always run a M/T on all my four wheel drives just incase I get into a hairy situation. I need something that is good on road, muddy jod sites, and snow a$$hole deep to a ten foot indian. As long as I get 20K miles I'll be happy.

I just got the dakota at2 from pepboys can't beat 500 bucks for a set. (Buy 3 get one free; plus 50 bucks back) have done great in the mud for me, its been raining for the past few days and they do great in the rain, I've been going through puddles and they don't even slow me down one bit. My uncle says the do great in the snow on his wrangler in the winter. (Cause its a softer rubber)
Edit: and they have a 50k mile warranty.
