The Cooper ST / STT and BFG tires are long lasting and good off road. I find the Coopers a lot noisier but I like them

Not if he plans on going in the mud, those fill up and become slicks in the mud. If you want a tire that will last along time you probably want a AT tire, or a hybrid tire, also the Firestone Destination MTs last a long time, my neighbor has put close to 70K on his last two sets before needing replacement.

I'd recommend the Cooper STT or Mickey MTZ.

Stick with the name brands BFG /Mickey Ts/Cooper etc you get what you pay for. The General Grabber is a good choice for a all terrain

Another vote for MTZs or STTs. I have the BFG ATs as well, which in muddy areas are not that great. On the road they are quieter & run a little smoother than my MTZs, but the MTZs are far superior offroad. I wanted a MT that was better offroad but still had good road manners, so decided on a siped MT which includes the MTZ, STT or Truxus MT (apparently these don't balance as well as the 1st 2 MTs). The MTZs & STTs are made by the same company & are suppose to get get good mileage from their use. So far I have been happy with my MTZs. The BFGs are 10.5, vs the MTZs 12.5, which seemed to help with mileage. The MTZs are louder but it seems to be a cool sounding hum rather than anything really loud or annoying. So far (7 months later) I have been happy with my choice. Not sure how they are in snow yet, but I will post my results after I try them in some winter driving.

I like both MTZ and STT, but I am going with STT because of the price difference. $545 for STT and $670 for MTZ for 31x1050 15s

Maybe its luck, but my pro comp mud terrains are holding up really well after a year and a half of daily highway driving and plenty of weekend trail runs with my club

If you only wheel in mud look at Swamper TSL Radials.
I had 33x10.50s on my TJ and they worked awesome in mud. I daily drove on them and they are nowhere near as loud as people claim they are. They have a nice hum to them similar to the TJ Rubicon's factory MT/Rs. I put 23k on those tires, and sold them with 13/32nds left on the tread. Just throwing that out there since you mentioned mud.

But most ATs are crappy at best in the mud, some of the hybrid tires are changing this but the true ATs like BFG AT KOs suck in the mud. This is why I would suggest the Firestone Destination MTs they are great in most terrains, but they last a long time too, as many MTs will only last 30-40K
