Tires BFGoodrich or OEM Volkswagen
BF Goodrich A/T KO2's may fit the bill, good on both trail and highway. However, they do decrease highway comfort a bit. You might also look at the BF Goodrich Trail-Terrains which are slightly less aggressive but much more comfortable on the highway. I have used and used both of these tires for years and easily get 40,000 - 50,000 miles on them.
The bf Goodrich trail terrain t/a’s are what I had on my xj, good tires that stood great on highway and on mud/sand/rocks. Didn’t lose any mileage either and they looked pretty good after around 1000 miles, no visible wear or tread loss so I’ll probably be running those in the future
Just bought the BFG Comp 2 A/S from Sam's. I like them, the guy who put them on seemed to really like them, and I see them recommended a lot.
BFG KO2s were OEM and I replaced with another set. UE came with 33"KO2s (not mudders) infused with some kind of black magic that allows them to be great off road and quiet, smooth high grip on paved roads - mine lasted more the 70k miles.
I’ve been on my BFGs for more than 50 and still have tread
Good luck and perhaps try nittos or bfg’s next(my bud with a trd offroad taco got 66k out of his ko2’s, which is why we are trying them on the wife’s 4rnr)
No issues on mine, I paired them with my method racing wheel, trail series. This is on my KL.
Live in a snowy state. I've had Cooper Zeons, Goodyear Duratracs, and both KO2s and KM3s. The BFGs performed the best in winter conditions. Even with a wonky suspension during a blizzard in the high country, the KO2s did not slip up. It felt planted too. The off road performance is amazing too. Rocks getting stuck is apart of it. Tires are supposed to get dirty. The price is high, but you never want to go cheap when it comes to tires.
I ran some KM3 in the Cascades for a few months before they got really slashed up on sharp rocks and punctured, then 3 years on one set of KO2 without trouble.
I had both on my 2017 3rd gen Tacoma. I kept the truck stock as far as suspension, no lift, etc. I started with KO2s and put about 20k miles on them. Then I switched to WPs because the KO2s were garbage in the snow. Although I mostly switched due to the poor performance on ice and snow, the plus was finding out that the road noise and vibration was night and day. I didn’t know how bad the KO2s were until put on the WPs. WPs drastically improved snow and ice performance as well as road noise and just overall smoothness of the drive.
