Good idea. I have had a few sets and have had many friends that have had them. Not one complaint yet.

TSL radials here... on my second set... when these wear out, I will get another set.
They are not quiet, there are louder, but these are not quiet., they do ride nice, they balanced. My last set I had for a year, and they still had 60% tread left.
I've beat on them rather hard in sharp rocks with no ill effects, and in mud... what mud?

this is not from experience this is what my buddy said that works at the factory that makes them...boggers are the best in mud by far but wear really quick, the the tsl sx are like a really aggressive all terrain that really doesn't stand out in one area, while the tsl radial will probably be the best for what you looking for...other friend who runs the tsl radial (i dont think his truck has ever seen mud) said its really good on highway/road, and performs excellent in snow (about 1 foot of snow is what he plays around in) hope this helps

boggers are for going straight... if mud pits and/or competition is your bag then sure, but I'd not want to rely on them in side slope, or steering situation.

As far as doing well in mud... ya, no complaints, very little tire speed is needed to keep them clean, they react to steering very well in mud, and should you run into rocks/roots under the mud, they are one tough radial... the sidewall has got to be 1.5" thick... just look at manufactures tire weights to detarmine the amount of substance involved...
Interco Super Swamper TSL Radial 33x10.5-15 = 55lbs per tire
BFG mud terrain 33x10.5-15 = ah... bfg changed thier site, but, substantially less.

Mud only tires I would get a set of Boggers again. My next set of tires will be BF Goodrich Mud Terrains I really like the Krawler tread on the KM2s or I might get a set of Krawlers next. I had over 70000 miles on my KM's when I upgraded from 31s to 35's oh there was a lift involved too.
