Cooper stt's are a good inbetween. They are classified as a mud tyre but last really well on bitumen. Bfg mud terrains and mickey Thompson mtz's are pretty much in the same category but I'd say they have got the edge over Coopers in the mud but both seem to wear quicker on bitumen. Mickey Thompsons ate real slippery on the bitumen once they have worn a bit (in my opinion).
But everyone has different opinions and stories.
Tap, crackle, pop
I am on my third set of Cooper ST tyres. Great alternative as they are more agressive than ATs but not as chunky as muddies. I have got good wear (65,000 km) and they are not too noisey.
I can't recommend highly enough the Mickey Thompson ATZ 4 Rib (make sure it's 4 as they have a 5 also). Great on the black stuff and more than competitive off road against some bigger name muddies.
X2, i'd be looking at the 4 or 5 rib. the 5 Rib is a HWY bias type tyre and would suit you really well. you will get great travel on them and nice and smooth and quietQuote:

I run BFG KM2's and love them, however my mate was after the same thing as you and opted for the Mickey T ATZ's and absolutely loves them. Very aggressive for what they technically class as an AT, yet with good road manners. I am not a fan of the MTZ but would consider the ATZ for my next set of tyres
Hey i would recommend the new cooper st maxx as a good option for a tyre a bit more agressive than an atr, the mickey ts at 4 rib is also a good option, the stt a bit too agressive for constant on road use,
any questions on tyres just ask me, i manage a tyre and mechanical store
thank to all how posted it been a help to hear what you have written have to love hearing it first hand
Is budget a factor at all? Id imagine the coopers and bfgs are at the higher end of the market price wise.
Time to chime in I LoVE my Mickey Thompson mtz

Cant say the MTZ's self cleaned as well as others and wear quicker. Got some new STT's to go on as soon as my BigHorns wear out or someone wants to buy them (35's)
