Default mud tyres????

hi guys
I'm planning to upgrade to bigger tyres and I can't decide which brand will be the best for me. I want mud tyre that won't make to much noise on the road. I previously had bfg I was pretty happy with them. At the moment I have cooper stt. They are very noisy on the road.
I’ve been looking at bfg km2 (they shut have good on road performance and shut be quiet on roar as well) and mickey tompson mtz (don’t know much about those)
I want to know your opinions
Thanks Steve

any tyre like a pro comp xtreme mud terrain or mickey thomopson mtz will be
a good compromise as they are reasonably quiet onroad and perform well offroad .
