Prices vary quite dramatically up to $550 a Tyre but you cane get them for $305 on eBay from Cornell tyres.
Some people rave about BFG's, yet they are the only tyre that have let me down on wet roads in the 30 years that I owned 4WD's.
They clog with mud very quickly as well and hold it in the tread.
My 2c worth........

Hey mate, With a lift these will still not fit. You will need a grinder and a welder and a big hammer to modify the pinch weld in the wheel arch as well as wheel spacers about 25mm to stop them rubbing on the sway bar at full lock. 275/65r18 is the biggest u can go with the lift. Hope this clarifies.

Default WK2 Off Road Tyres

For anyone interested here's the tyre options that I've found so far in 275/65R18's.

1 - Maxxis Bighorn MT764 - feedback is good offroad tyre but noisy on tarmac

Toyo Open Country M/T -

Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 -

Dick Cepek F-C 11 A/T -

Yokohama AT/S - great replacement warranty

General Grabber AT2 - hearing good things about this range

Cooper AT3 - mixed reviews on cooper tyres
Cooper STT

Falken Wildpeak A/T -

Edited from original post
Mickey Thompson - ATZ 5rib - great mileage

Khumo KL78'w -
