Subject line pretty much sums it up. I'm getting ready to lift the XJ 3.5
inches but it still is my daily driver, so I need something with decent
highway manners also. It presently has the michelin tire in a 30x9.50 and
they've been a great set for around 60,000 miles. I'm upgrading to a
31x10.5 in the near future and need opinions. Right now I'm leaning toward
the michelin unless someone convinces me otherwise

Thanks

Check out the tires from Pepboys. They are really nice and priced just as
nice.

OK, without a doubt the BFG KO tire is the best overall choice. Ask anyone
who has had them.

I've owned/own the BFG AT KO and I agree with Kevin that it is an
excellent choice. Michelins are also very good and the Pirelli Scorpion
also has some great reviews.

I love the Michelins, but I just use my XJ as a daily driver and I need good
winter traction as I drive over the CO mountain passes a couple times a
month in the winter. I occasionally go off-road for camping, but we're
talking gravel or dirt roads, so off-road traction isn't very important to
me. If this vehicle is going to be off-roaded quite a bit, I would say the
BFG's would be the way to go.

My CJ on the other hand runs 35" Goodyear Wrangler MTR's, and I have been
happy with them so far. This is strictly for off-roading.
