Out of your choices I would say the km2. Other than those, I really like my mastercrafts. Coopers are good (cooper makes mastercrafts). Maxxis are decent. If you're not worried about treadwear the gy wrangler kevlars are awesome.

What about Irok's or TSL's? They make any rig look awesome and I know they are not good tires for driving on the street but for only offroad...?

Yes, but that's because they're more of a tire that sees a lot of road time.

Tsl's are crap on rocks. They are too hard and dont squash. They take a **** load of groovin to flex that tire. They are great in the dirt and descent in mud.

Iroks are the only 1/2 descent swamper to crawl with. And yes I said 1/2 descent. You obviously haven't wheel any of these tires.
