Nitto trail grapplers or toyo open country's, they're heavy but well worth it cuz they're side walls are close to an inch thick

Trail grapplers have moderately good road performance, as well as any big tire would, and you can't beat that boxed angle tread pattern, or the ridiculously tough side wall
