I've had two sets of toyos on two different jeeps and they both outlasted my interest in the jeep. Sold both with 40k and 50k miles and tires were still decent

I'm happy with my 37x13.50 mud grapplers both on and off road. I've never had them on the highway in rain yet, that's the only thing I don't have experience with.

i had the 35" open country's a couple years ago and they did pretty well on the road, wasn't that good in deep mud though.

had the mud grapplers for almost 2 years and they did pretty well in the mud, but not on rocks
