It all depends on your terrain. What do you mostly run?

could this thread be any more vague?

There is no such thing as one "best" tire for anything. It depends on a lot of different variables. You need to tell us things like, what kind of off-roading do you do? Is your Jeep also a daily driver? To what extent are you willing to sacrifice on-road safety, comfort, performance, and gas mileage in order to gain off-road ability? How much do you want to spend? What size tires do you need? What is your level of off-road ability?

The answers to these questions would give us a starting point. Probably more questions will come up after you've answered these.

I highly recommend round ones...

Air filled tires would be recommended as well.

Everyone will say the type of terrain your on but it really boils down to price.

price is not a issue when you are asking for best
I've seen high priced do worse than lower price and manytimes lower is worse than higher
the best tire depends on your wheeling style and your terrain.
its like the harlwy jap bike question
guys who just want to toot around and feel like they look cool like harleys
guys who want a bike with modern technology that eats up the road and the curves like crotchrockets. Does this make one bike better than the rest? No, it is a question of what you want.
I am out west and like a tire that does both DD and all terrain
so I do DC FCII. Now someone with a dedicated trail rig wants a more agressive tread and does not care much about road use.
I could buy a cheaper or a more expensive tire, but the DC serves me well
