either buy an extra wheel,so you have one set-up for the street and one set-up for the dirt.......or....pick a terrain and stick with it :-D

You can get on-off road tires...but not mx-road tires.
Check out RockyMountain.com or MotorcycleSuperStore.com
they have decent selections...or you can try your local shop,they should have catalogs specificaly for what you need.
Excuse me, ma'am...but you've got extremely nice legs!!!...what time do they open???                                                                                                               https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8tCgN3aryQ

well in your oppinion what would be the best off road/mx tire cuz im only on the road long enough to get to mile trails, the only reason i asked about street tires is because the my trails are about 2 miles down the road from me

What's the type of terrain you're "mostly" riding in...i.e.,grass/loamy,sand/mud,rocks/hardpack??
If you throw on a fresh sand/mud tire,and start riding in all kinds of hardpack and rocks,you're gonna kill the tire almost instantly.
It almost sounds like you want to find a good Intermediate tire since you're kinda into alot of different areas.
Here...take a look at some of these,and read the reviews(if there are any to ones that interest you).On the left side you can pick from several different types.

You don't have to buy one from here...just use as reference.
