The only bias Trep that's suited to "road k's" would be the 37 12.5 17 hard compound. All other bias Treps are "stickys".
I've used and sold many sets of these (most being used and abused in comps). One set that have done sh1tloads of road k's plus an OBC and a couple of local comps and plenty of day trips is worn but still going strong with plenty of bite. Hard to tell exactly how many k's as they have been on a couple of cars. It seems that they are comparable to ET's as far as road k's is concerned. They are the most tractive tyre that I've ever had with the least noise.

I got a set of mudzillas the other day. At road psi they are quiter than my old worn bfg mud terrians.
Very wide stick out past the flares that covered the bfg's. Stick to rocks very well churn through mud great.
Wear out very quickly. saving my mine for play and comp.
Anything is possible, it just comes down to time and money.

If mudzillas are to much for you (noise, ect) then Trepps are way to much for you!!

The Trepp is basically a comp tire, only one size the 37's even ok for street. All other sizes you can't even get unless you are sponsored for comps or know somebody who is....at least in the USA this is how it goes.

I just got some 285/75/R16 BF Goodrich T/As on my 2004 Taco. Great all around tire, no noise on road. Handle great, nice traction in snow...should wear decent. For what you say in your posts I would be looking more for something like this than a really aggresive soft rubber comp type tire.

I have a set of 35x12.5's radial Trepadors sitting in the shop ready to go on my tourer Gu ute, just need to pull my finger out and lift it so they fit. Had a set of the 235's on my mate's Sierra and they were the quietest mud tyre I've driven on, and traction is not too bad either...nothing compared to the bias version though.
