You're asking for too much. You're going to have to prioritize what is most important to you and be willing to compromise.

*facepalm*

Super Swamper is a line of tires made my Interco Tire, the SS is specifically made for mud, not AT, not longevity.
They make the SS-M16 and TRXUS-STS, which appear to be slightly more AT, might be a little less noise and last a little longer.
As far as NO noise and lasting LONG..LOL!!! Like most everything else, pick 2 of the three. Getting all three in one package is impossible.

No such. Swampers and boggers are specific tires made by interco.

I have cooper discover STTs. They're aggressive but do very well on the road and in every terrain ive thrown at them.

If you want more of a street tire that will still do decent off-road go for some all terrains.

Tire chains and street tires (put them on at the trail or whatever).

You're gonna have to go to tirerack and do some research and check the already extensive threads started about this on this forum, naxja and jeep forum. The answers out there

As before stated interco does not make a tire that really fits that profile. if you are looking for that much in a tire toyo open country MTs can not be beat they are pricey but wear like iron and look great. Interco makes the thornbird which is close to what you want but ive only heard horrible reviews and first hand experiences. Some other good choices would be the BFG AT/KO I had a set and loved them to death. Ive ran Nitto trail grabbers sharp looking tire wore well (does not come in a 15). General Grabber red letters are supposedly pretty good as well. Hope this helps. I dont have a bunch of experiance with trail tires but I have been down the Mall crawler path before

I also have the STT's...they are the business. Great on and off road.

And how many threads are we going to make on the subject? Plenty of info out there...YOU need to DECIDE what will work best for YOU and YOUR NEEDS (or wants)...every mod you do to your jeep comes along with sacrifice, you gotta give something up to get what you want, and sometimes one mod leads to 5 others just to get it back to the performance you seek. Wanna run swampers? On a daily? Be prepared to replace them...often. With big mods come deep pockets...

I can back the bfg km2s had some 31s and they lasted about 20,000 I mean for MUDs that I daily drove and weekend warrior'd it... Not bad. Just rotate very often. I didn't rotate as I should have or I could have got more life maybe. But good choice.

I wouldn't use swampers for a daily theyre expensive as hell and they wear fast as it is imagine street use. If your just looking for the aggressive look just go with a mud tire. Those things are made for trailer queens that are built for mud bogging.

Swampers do great on the rocks. Boggers have no lateral stability, but you can groove them, run 'em on the rear and run TSL's up front to help. I loved running TSL's and my LTB's are even better.

Op, any bias ply tire or soft compound tire is going to suck on the road. Check out radial mud tires.

If what your asking for is an aggressive daily driver tire that is decent offroad lookup the Goodyear wrangler authorities. I run them on my zj. not to loud. smooth and they are GREAT in mud and rocks. never had any issues with mine.
