After what seems like an exhausted search for the perfect freaking tire...I made a decision. It's looking like about $750 delivered for a set of 285/75/16 for the lx450. That's after the mail in rebate. (onlinetires.com)
I should probably just have two sets of tires up here, but not yet. It sounds like this tire fits my bill anyway.
Here is a very useful comparison site if you can stomach looking at some jeeps, excuse me, I think I just threw up a litte.

I'm replacing some chewed up firestone destination M/T's, can't wait.
