Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ.
One of best durabilities (can't confirm number but already at about 35,000km and nowhere near done)
Quiet on the road ( I do 40,000 highway clicks/yr)
Good to go in the sticks for anything but the craziest stuff.
Decent in snow.
Looks great!

Cooper Discoverer S/T I have been running these in 33's for 90,000 miles, I got 65k out of my first set. On road they perform well, fairly quite, good in snow and excellent in the rain. Off-road they are aggessive enough they handle most terrains well, I play on the rocks with them and the sidewalls flex well for added traction, for an allterrain they have a deep tread that handles mud better than most.

I have 35/12.5/17 BFG KM2's and yeah, they suck in snow IF you don't air down.
I set them to 8-10 PSI and its a whole different tire. The same for dry surface traction. Places where I struggle when I am at 20PSI, I just crawl right up when I'm aired down. Honestly, it is a great benefit to do so with 'high-flotation' tires.
I think because i do more highway driving, that I will go back to my tried and true All Terrain TA KO's (they make them in 37's now).
I swear by the all terrains. I'd like to try another brand and maybe this year in Moab I will get the chance but I can't see myself dropping stupid money on a tire I'm not sure is going to suite my needs.
If you are looking at the B.F. Goodrich brand, I'd compare the Muds and the ATs.
Another brand is Cooper, their STT ATs are sick and I think most people are satisfied
