Default Hardest Compound M/T's?

Who makes the hardest compound mud terrain tires? I thought Toyo, possibly Mickey Thompson/ Dick Cepeck? What about Nitto?

Thank you guys.

Any of them tear up pretty bad on rocks. My toyo mts and nitto mts did alright. Not sure what you're after.

Going on a DD 1500, it will stay on the pavement at least 90% of its life...

I have Micky Thompson ATZs on my 99 and they consider them to be more of an all terrain but they are every bit if not more aggressive as a lot mud terrains. I've got 30,000 miles on them, all highway, and they are still probably 70% tread left. I think they should do 60,000 miles without too much trouble. They wear pretty smooth and even with only minor feather on the inside edge starting to develop and I rotate them every 5000 miles. I don't know that I would buy them again because they have gotten so much more expensive since I bought mine and they are pretty noisy. Next time I will either get a Cooper STT or go back to an all terrain of some sort.

We have the best luck out of the Toyo MTs as well. Most people are getting 40k+ out of them (and many swear more). They have the best ride and are one of the quietest as well. Biggest downside right now is availability.

I recently put Toyo MT's on my LB7. They balanced easily with very little wheel weights, and for a 33x12.50, that is rare. Speaks for the quality of the tire. So far they are performing well, not too loud, good ride quality, and decent handling. I put them in some nasty mud last week in the Big Horn mountains, they did great there too. Time will tell how long they last, but they do have good reviews.

I have BFG KM2's with 63xxx miles on them. They still have tread, but not much. I will be most likely getting them again.
