    Here is the rig I will be running. Parts are ordered. Just need to find time to install.

    https://accutuneoffroad.com/product...on-kit-stage-4a-fox-performance-elite-series/

    I am looking for an A/T tire that are most importantly very aggressive looking, second quietness, and third longevity. I know people here have ran 10+ different types of A/T's and can share their experiences.

    I will be running a 285/70/R17 if that helps.

    Looking forward to hearing from you folks.

    Ask 10 people here and you will likely get 10 different answer to this question :) As a general rule, an aggressive off-road tire isn't a quiet tire on pavement, so you may need to compromise somewhere on your requirements. FWIW, I run the Michelin LTX AT2 because 95% of my driving is on paved roads, but I'm sure it wouldn't meet your requirements on looking aggressive.

    The best tire is the tires I have on right now, obviously.

    Now that that's out of the way: agree with the other poster, you can't have it all.

    It's not an unusual request, though. Maybe there's room in the market for a mAll Terrain tire type: aggressive sidewall with highway tread, lol.

    The "best" A/T tire is the one the person answering the question is running.

    “Aggressive Look”

    “Quiet”

    “Long lasting”

    Those are literally the worst reasons to buy an AT tire.

    The OP is spending 6 grand on suspension parts made to some serious off roading and their tire criteria is looks, quiet and long lasting . . . . WTF?

    Respectfully disagree sir.

    An AT easily could be all 3. Such as cooper discoverer at3 or geolandar AT

    Those are among the least aggressive ATs made.

    Sure, but still look more aggressive than typical highway terrain tire.

    They also don’t last as long.

    If looks are primary, go with BFG KO2 in E rating. The lack of sidewall flex will feel like you are driving on concrete tires and you will have even less power than you do now due to the added weight, but they will look fantastic.

    Nah here we have a P-rated Duratrac bro. Where looking aggressive is more important than actual AT performance.
