I'm ordering a Rubicon tomorrow but will immediately have them replaced with 35. I'm going to take the brand new 33's that come on the Rubicon and have them mounted on my wife's JLU Sahara. I think the AT's are Falkens, is this true with the MT's that are offered as a no cost option?

What do you guys think of them? I can get 5 Falken MT 35's for $1405 on tirebuyer.com

I have previous experience with BF Goodrich KM2, KO2, and Nitto Terra Grapplers. All of those are significantly more expensive ($200 - $300 more).

I'll spend the extra if it means something...longevity, performance, etc.

I've run BFGs almost exclusively for 30 years or more (KO, KM, KO2, KM2). They have always been my tire of choice, until I got the Gladiator with the Falkens. The BFGs, while not too awfully noisy when new, were horribly noisy as they got older...even though they were always faithfully rotated every 5000 miles or less. The new Falkens are quieter than any BFG I've run. A friend who teaches off-road driving and recovery in Moab has been using Falkens for years on his Jeeps and gives them rave reviews for off-road handling, durability and longevity. I doubt that I'll buy another set of BFGs.
