Tips for offroad tires

I am lookin to get bigger tires like 35s or 36s. I have heard that the Micky Ts MTZs do pretty good in the mud with self cleaning. But i have heard others do better. What tires are best for a mix of mud, sand and that isnt to loud goin down the pavement?

I personally do not like pro comp tires. They are crap in my opinion. I know this because I have some pro craps on right now. Cant wait for them to wear out so I can get some decent tires.

Xterrains are a mistake made by procomp but extreme ATs I have had no problem in snow, mud, ice or daily driving plus they are decently quiet for a 37x13.5

Toyo MT's, may not be the best in a lot of muddy condition's but in everything else they're great. Not too loud on the highway and last 50-60k miles if taken care of. They ain't cheap either!
