I've ran Wild Country XTR's, BF AT's, Dean SXT's,Yokohama Geolandar AT2s,  Michelin LTX's, ProComp X-terrains, Toyo OCMTs, General Grabber AT2s, and am currently running Mickey Thompson MTZ's. Of all of these I would either put on a set of MTZs if the vehicle is a take anywhere vehicle, or a set of the Dean SXT's if it gets half hi-way k's. If its hi-way to dirt ratio leans a little more towards hi-way maybe a set of General Grabber AT2's, they have the same tread pattern as the bf at's but they're cheaper and the tread compound seems to not chunk out as bad as the BF's when driven like a rental on gravel roads. The toyo OCMT's are good too but they'll cost you more than the others. The Geolandar was a great all terrain tire that lasted forever but they were discontinued. That's my $0.02

MTZ all the way for me. Great on road and excellent off-road. Lot's of guys up here are running them with great success.
The only other tire I want to try would be the IROK Radials, I've wheeled with guys running them and they are almost unstoppable. Gotta Getta Set :-X

Why bother buying tires you should upgrade your axles and tranny or learn to lay off the skinny pedal so u dont break and waste peoples times like on the last run you were on... and crawling is for babys? ur on 31's dude that aint a mud truck also Nice high jack of a username off Youtube of a real grand cherokee that can rep "crawlin is for baby's" anyday  ;D but on the tire topic baja claws SUCK wont get traction and they dont clean at all in the mud unless ya got high HP

Back on topic I am running Interco Super Swamper Radials 33" SSR.  I have found them to be a very good tire in most conditions except ice. Then they suck.

36" iroks. bias ply.   as Pete said, gosh darn near unstoppable on the trail. wicked tire for climbing, crawling and even mud.  (even though i'm not a fan of mud) 

also run Mickey Thompson ATZs on my DD grand cherokee.  great street tire. good in teh snow/winter stuff and last long.  haven't had em on a trail, i'd assume they'll be no worse than any other AT.........

Other then winter wheeling I dont find irocs excell in any one wheeling application. Aside from cost less, and wobble a lot on street rigs, they dont do anything a toyo doesnt.

I wheel with guys on irocs all the time. OK tire, but definately not "exceptional".

My 2 cents.
