Not enough information to determine "best tires" ...
  • use?
  • is $$$$$ a limitation?
  • on | off - road use?
  • any towing considerations?
  • looking for long tread life?
  • traction considerations?
    etc., etc., etc., etc..
In general - What criteria are you using to determine the "best tires"? Otherwise .... *.post # 2 above.

Toyo AT II or BFG KO2. Both awesome tires and will do what you're asking. I'm an MT guy, but lots of my friends have both the tires I mentioned and they do well at just about everything.
