I've owned every kind of M/T known to man. My favorite all around tire is the BGF M/T KM. It's reasonably priced, quiet, lasts a long time and has thick sidewalls that don't puncture easily, that's important in South Texas when you're driving through the brush. Do not expect any kind of serious traction with any of the M/T series tires. They will not work like a TSL Super Swamper Bogger, but they also don't hop around and wear out in 10,000 miles like a Bogger does.
For me, it works out best to have a set of A/T's that I drive my truck on daily. They ride smooth, quiet and have a little more bite than a stock street radial. When I'm going to spend time offroad and I know I'll need a more aggressive tire I'll bolt my 35" Super Swampers on and get the job done. Typically I can make it through rougher spots in 2wd with my Swampers as I can in 4wd with a set of M/T's. It sounds like a bunch of work to swap tires, but I will promise you it's not as much work as spending an afternoon of winching your truck out of a creek bed. It's just something to think about.
