It really depends what your looking for...
In my experience...
Best Value- TreadWright guard dogs- they last forever, are only 90-120$ per tire, and do okay in everything except thick clay-like mud. If you get their "kedge grip" They really do well in ice/snow and helps grip rock.
Best in mud- excluding SS boggers- SS LTBS or Kumho Road venture MTs. Both did great for me- don't really know which I would choose as the SS are loud, heavier and wore down faster but are probably a little better in the mud.
Best in snow- Duratrack hands down- they last FOREVER too.
Best for rocks- Irock radials-
Myself/buddies/family have tried a ton of different tires. The worst all around would be the SS m16s or the SS Thornbird. Both of those suck terribly. We have also found that the Nitto MTs are way overpriced for their performance. It seems like everyone here loves the KM2s- not soo much the same story on pirate etc. I myself have never had them but several buddies have.

Yep Duratracs all day, they're great on the rock and in the sand. I havent had no mud, snow, or ice to try them out, but I'm not the biggest fan of those either

I'm pretty happy with my Duratracs.
My Jeep is my daily driver, so I needed a long-lasting tire that still grips well in offroad applications. I've taken them through mud, dirt, rocks, and sand. No problems at all. They even climb couches well.

I run Interco SSRs now, love them. Haven't gone at them with the grooving iron yet, even on ice they grip so I'll probably leave them alone or maybe cut the center lugs into thirds when crawling season starts. 1000x better than the Baja claws I had before, those sucked in literally every terrain and wore horribly, worse than my old bias TSLs

I love mine so far on the east coast. The TTC's work very well here.

Lol isn't that a made for ATV tire? In that case, why not the MudZillas?
Or better yet a set of SilverBacks?
Except for the fact that they are not designed to hold the weight of a car of course haha...
