285/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/T from Walmart. I run 'em on my truck, albeit a different size, but I love 'em. There's a little tire noise on the road, they look badass for an A/T, handle well and I have yet to be dissapointed off road, and I go through stuff that get more than halfway up my 31s (I'm 2wd)

I haven't had an issue yet with my goodyears. They do everything I've ever asked them and after 10k have gone through 1/32 of tread

I run the Nitto Terra Grappler A/T's. Love em.

I wouldn't consider Good Year junk, just some of the tires they make suck. The M/T's on the Hummvee's are pretty nice.

If you don't want noise, Firestone Destination LE. The Destination A/T's are nice as well and I didn't experience any road noise with them on my truck. Good traction and nice ride too.

is the 2.5" lift a leveling kit? or a full body lift? if its a body lift then you can level it and fit 35s if the lift you said you had is just a leveling kit then no not without trimming and still rubbing
