I have a trail-modified wrangler that is regularly driven on pavement. The wrangler has 8 " of lift, 1 " of fender trimming and turning 37 " tires with no rub of any kind. I've had many different types and brands of tires. If you are planning to go with an 18 " rim, I assume that you will not be doing a lot of serious off-roading other than the occassional dirt road. If this is true, then stay away from MT or Mud Terrain Tires. You don't need them. They are mostly very noisy on the road and wear very quickly. I'd say go with BFGoodrich All Terrain T/ A KO if you have to go with an 18 " rim. The tire that I have the highest praise for is the Goodyear Wrangler MT/ R. Although it has a Mud Terrain rating, it's tread lasts and lasts. Hot pavement doesn't seem to bother the tire and it is an animal in the trails. When I got mine, they were backordered because the military was purchasing EVERYTHING in their stock. A true testiment to their quality. The only drawback is they aren't offered in many sizes for an 18 " rim.

Toyo open country a/ t's or m't's. They come in sizes up to 20 " look great and are really kickass tires. that's my .02.

I love the BF Goodrich All Terrain T-A KO Tires . they last a long time if you rotate every 6000 miles. the mud terrains are nice, but not as practical for everyday driving...
