I am replacing 33x12r16. This is a fun beat around toy, maybe I will wheel or not, don't care about mileage or noise.
Tire recommendations

Love my Baja boss at. More aggressive than my old ko2 and being much better on the road with water. Snow rated, good mileage warranty, and I got mine for a good deal.
These are what I'll be going to next as well.
Kind of like asking for a favorite ice cream flavor 
My own musing. Combine this with $2.50 and you can get a coffee at Waffle House.
I don't drive that much.
I made the mistake of buying an expensive set of tires only to have them dry rot before I even started to get the treadwear benefits.
My Jeep is my toy so I just run whatever I can get reasonable and does what I need off road.
Currently running the reviled Milestar Patagonia M/T 2 in a 33", and they are great on the Jeep.
I'll get better tires on my daily driver, but even it gets driven less than 7k miles per year.
How much do you drive your Jeep?
Tires are rated to last from 6 years if parked inside to 10 years being the absolute cut off for safety.
Most manufacturers recommend 6 years replacement, but then they want you to buy new tires so YMMV.
6 years on my Jeep would be less than 12k miles, so a mileage warranty is useless to me.
You said it was a toy.
If it's only driven as a toy, get whatever tires you like and don't worry about mileage.

We run Nitto Trail Grapplers on the Jeeps and Ridge Grapplers on the truck. Been impressed with the stick and the durability of the TGs off road. RGs look good, but are probably as aggressive as you want to go with a daily, and they perform as such.
That said, doesn't look like you'll have a lot of options in 33x12.50R16. Basically Super Swampers.

That’s a loaded question 
. Almost aligns with the standard Facebook user question. Not enough details other then tell me how to spend my money.
If I was going to strictly run something for fun and looks it would be TSL stampers, Trepador M8060s or maybe some Nitto trail grapplers just to listen to the song they produced running down the road.
But real world experience I have had good luck with Mickey Thompson, General and Cooper tires. Seems that is irrelevant as you pretty well must be shopping strictly based on looks as you have no idea what you will be doing with the Jeep.
315/75R16 Mickey Thompson MT
285/75R16 AT General

Some stubby Treps would look baddass, lol.
If you plan to wheel/crawl and drive on the road good choices for MT tires are Mickey Baha Boss or MTZ, Cooper SST, Nitto Trail Grapplers. If you will be mostly road driving with occasional offroad an AT or RT tire may work best, BFGs or Falken Wildpeak AT3, AT4 or the newer RT01. I had poor performance out of Nitto Ridge Grapplers on a heavier F150 I can't imagine running them on a lighter TJ.
Perfect time to buy them. https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/tires/baj-bosspkg-mickey-thompson-baja-boss-tire-package
I have run the Boss AT on my p/u and the MT on my LJ. Can't beat them.
I got a 40% off coupon from a Goodyear rep. I was going to get Baja Boss M/Ts but bought the Goodyear Boulder M/Ts instead. So far so good!
If the budget allows, my favorite tires of all time for the combination of daily driving and off-road performance are the BFG MT, with the center treads siped by the tire shop.
But they are expensive, and my current priority is saving up for lockers front and rear. So on my TJ just a couple months ago, when the old tires manufacture date hit 10 years old (still plenty of tread), I got Kelly Safari AT tires at Discount Tires, and I am very happy with those so far.
