Are those milestars really as quiet as some of the YouTube reviews say? My frame of reference would be BFG KM2s, which are definitely not quiet.
The Milestar is a lightyear ahead of the BFG KM2. The KM2s were the loudest, roughest tires with the worst traction I've ever had on a Jeep. Just horrendous.

By contrast the Milestar Patagonia M/T is quiet, smooth, and grips well all the time.

I have heard good things about the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but will research the Falkens. I know nothing about them. I am thinking 35s with a 2 inch lift. I want the spare to fit under it and I want to fit in a parking garage. That makes it 77 inches with the hard top. If I find myself high centering or whacking the back bumper, I can always do more lift and tires and forget about the garages.
They sell a 35x11.5

So I am torn between 37 12.5 17 BFG ko2 which will mooing on my stock rubicon wheels. Vs toyo at3. The at3 needs an 18 inch wheel meaning I would have to sell my wheels and tires Looking at nitro also ridge grapplers but I think they are louder and I do drive a lot of freeway miles. What do you all think?

Toyo AT IIs, 285/75/18, I have owned a JK and JKU, I really prefer a 285 width over 315, I have run both, the 285/75/18s are actually taller than most 35s. Toyos as I have had 3 sets, they wear very well and take very little weight to balance, also made in the US.
What do you think of the at3s. ? I am considering either the at3s in a. 37 or a BFG ko2. Still waffling between a 35 and a 37 But a little worried about getting a lift and possibly re-gearing. So how tall are the at2s ?

And their open country. Rt. They are all listed as all terrain. Looking for the best combination of off road and on road for a daily driver.

I ended up running 285/75/17 Toyo AT3s they have been great, they are load range C but I do not notice any difference from the load range E AT2s I ran previously in terms of firmness. They are both very quiet and did not need much weight to balance. I have 4.10 gears and IMO the 34” 285/75/17s are a good compromise between good looks and performance, I would not want to go any bigger for my use of towing a 3500lb boat and daily driving, from the stock 31” to the 34” is quite noticeable in power drop.

Cooper Evolution M/T’s... Forget BFG’s or Toyo’s... No, just kidding, run what feel comfortable using. This is my 4th Jeep that I’ve put Coopers onto and honestly can’t be happier. The price point for a set of 35’s is way better than the majority of its competitors, they hold up, they’re not overly heavy, and Discount Tire is the bomb and hooked me up... again.
