You havent added a percentage of use for each in your post, but in Aus, we find the MTR in a 285/75/16 as the most reliable, thickest sidewall [yes we cut them up and measure them, rip them, tear them etc] most puncture resistant tyre for all round use, though they do get noisier as they wear, so we encourage people to trade them in around the 15000km mark, so they are always driving on the best part of the tyre.
They work well here in sand, gravel, drive well for an aggressive tyre on the road, and if the conditions become bad because of rain etc, then you have the one tyre to cope with all of those, though compromised slightly on all, compared to having more than one set of tyres.
Because they are thicker, and can produce more heat, they do need to be balanced more often, we have found, but only as per "normal" balance and rotate schedules, but most dont do this here, in our experience.
