Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain Tires

I decided on Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain tires for my JK.

Just like wheels, tires play a big part of the way your jeep looks. I wanted something with a square profile and large side lugs.

This is basically how they will look on my jeep. The wheels in the picture are Eagle 137 wheels. I don't know how this guy go a black bead lock ring. I called Eagle Alloys and they don't make it. Its either a chrome wheel with black ring, or black wheel with chrome ring. Anyway, I love the way the tires look.
I am concerned about gas mileage and power on the highway since I usually take the jeep on road trips and long drives to trails. Therefore, I was concerned about weight. There is much debate in the 4-wheeling community about "unsprung" weight and how it affects your jeep. Some say it is negligable, some say every lb of unsprung weight is the same as adding 10 lbs of cargo in your jeep.

The four main tires I was considering were:
BF Goodrich KM2 - 37x12.5R17 (72lbs)
Toyo Open Country MT - 37x13.5R17 (92lbs)
Nitto Mud Grappler - 37x13.5R17 (91 lbs)
Goodyear MRT Kevlar - 27x12.5R17 (74lbs)

I really don't like the look of the new MTR's. Too bad, because the kevlar is supposed to work great and they are light. The mud grapplers look awesome, but I hear they sound like an airplane on the highway and get worse with age. I experienced that with the old MTR's in my TJ and don't want to repeat it. I was all but decided on the KM2's, but in the end I decided to just go for the tires I really liked best, the Toyo's. Hopefully the extra weight will not hurt me too much. Everyone raves about them on and off road.
