Best bang for the buck woods/trail tire?

I am in need of front and rear tires for my bike. I ride western nc/upstate sc mainly. A good mix of everything... anyways, i need a tire that will hold up good and not be junk after a decent 10 rides. I have pirreli mx32s now and they are snapping knobs off after 6 rides. I had dunlops mx3s and they lasted a long time but they are very expensive now...
