Slippy, for off-road and on road driving, the gold standard are BF Goodrich All-Terrains. They are the best, hands down. However, they are also probably the most expensive. I have also heard good things about Nitto Trail Grapplers.

The BF's are great tires performance wise. Was always my go to tire for an AT. I just never got excellent mileage out of them, maybe 40-45k and were pricey. Figured it was norm, until I ran the Goodyear Wranglers last time I bought and will likely see close to 70k on them with only occasional rotating. Still pricey though.
I see a lot of Nito's around here but mostly on the lift kit and oversized crowd's toys.
I bought some 235/75 x 15" Wranglers from Wally World $371 OTD mounted and balanced.
They have good grips and work well in warm weather, in the snow not so much
Sadly the Tonka BowTie they're mounted on needs a fuel pump that I haven't gotten around to yet

My next set of tires for my Toyota Tundra will be Cooper AT/3's. I have Yokahamas on it now, and the wet traction sucks. We just bought my wife a set of Cooper tourings for her Honda CRV. The difference in handling between them and the Goodyears that were on it is startling. We bought ours from Discount Tires Direct....Great price, No sales tax and Free Shipping to your door. Look them up.

I am limited in choice to exactly 2 tires in the size I want to run 255/80/17. BFG MT KM2 and Cooper ST Maxx. I replaced my stock tires at 42,000 and bald. I have 59,000 on the truck now and am realy just starting to notice whare. I am running a diesel DRW ton truck with 1,400 lbs in the back every day. I went wit the BFG MT KM2. Off road performance is good. On road performance is good and the snow, slush, and ice was better than expected in a mud tire. A lot of the guys are running the Toyo MT and are getting 60,000 out of them. I would run the Toyo but don't want to have to run spacers in my rear wheels. We all are heavy all the time. Heavy custom beds and loads. I tow a 20,000 lb trailer some and no problem from the BFG there either. I have been impressed with the chip resistance in these tires and the Toyo. We drive on a lot of 3" rock and it tends to chew up tires. There is a truck here with the Coopers and the rocks are cutting them some and that is what made me go with the BFG.

It's funny to me cause yall don't know. We have molds to make BFG All-terrains, all Firestone, all nittto, all pro comp, all micky tohmpson, Mastercraft and the list goes on and on... just buy American tires. You'll keep me employed...

I have Goodyear Wranglers on the Inor-mobile now. I like them well enough. When I was a kid and had a fast car, I always had BF Goodrich Comp T/As. But we have already determined my advice on tires is basically worth less than you paid for it. I drive my truck less than 5000 miles per year so my tires are more likely to rot out before they wear out.
My thoughts again for truck AT tires .....
BF Goodrich AT - great at water treading doesn't shed mud well, and noisy.
Goodyear Wrangler - Less noise and long lasting.
Cooper - Every dealer recommends them.
Toyo - Hell if I know.
