A little help please?

I’m looking for new tyres to fit my Jeep Wrangler.

Portugal during the summer months, where the car is driven daily on rough unmade / gravel roads. Rural UK during the winter, mainly on road but the odd farm track or similar.

Here’s what I need (and don’t need)...

- UK availability in 285/70/R17
- good in the wet on-road
- rated/intended for winter use - ideally, but not necessarily, 3PMSF
- I don’t need class-leading mud grip / clearing or rock-crawling capabilities
- reasonable road noise / manners
- not particularly worried about durability or fuel economy

Possibilities I have identified include:

Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015
Cooper Discoverer A/T3 4S
BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2

Which should I choose and why? Are there other options I should be considering?

Thanks in advance!

I went with the KO2’s and am really pleased with them. Particularly that they seem fine for general road use, not noticeably noisier or harsher than the OE Duellers. I fitted them to the stock setup and they seemed fine - no rubbling at full lock. I could see they were pretty tight though so have subsequently fitted a Teraflex levelling kit (2” front, 1” rear) and a set of 25mm hub-centric spacers (also Teraflex). I now have plenty of clearance all round, and the handling (such as it is!) hasn’t been adversely affected. I’m very happy with the setup and would recommend it without reservation.
