What about Michelin XZL`s they are not the perfect sand tyre, but as an all rounder they must come close, they can de-deflated as low as 0.6 bar for sand work, have a nice reinforced side wall to protect against cuts, and are aggresive enough for some mud if necessary, for an expedition you are likely to encounter all of these elements, so they have to be worth a thought. The michelin A/T would have to be my other option.
One of my friend at xmas time drove accross the desert from Brisbane to Perth, in 6500 kms he nearly destroyed a new set of BFG A/Ts, the tread was cut to pieces and he suffered 2 side wall punctures, after seeing his tyres when he arrived to perth in his TLC turned me off the BFGs for a serious off road tyre.
