Default Best all-terrain tires and best size

What tires are the best all-terrains for off road use and 35s or 37s?

That will depend on so many things.

Is this your daily driver?
What's your budget?
Where will you spend most of your time off-road? (Sand, snow, mud, rocks, etc)
What gear radio do you have? Most will suggest mid-4s to lower-5s for 35s or 37s on a daily driver, though this may only serve as a minimum requirement.
The further north you live, the more you may need to consider tires capable of handling winter elements, especially for a daily driver.
What size lift are you running?
OEM or flat fenders?

I just got 35" goodyear duratracs. They look aggressive and have been great in winter so far.

Hard to reply before the OP fills in this questioner...

I find 35" to be pretty good off & on road.
I didn't go 37"s, which increase the fuel consumption, the un-sprung weight and the loads on the drive train.

Had BFGoodrich AT, and now the Mickey Thompson MTZ.
Both perform very well on wet/dry roads and in various offroad conditions.

On my '12 Rubi with 4.1 gear ratio, the 35" is good. 4.56 could be even better.

I put BFG Mud Terrains on my daily driver and they have been awesome. Really quiet and don't wear hardly at all. This is with about 12,000 miles on them. That's a quarter btw
