Any tires out there that do everything better than the stock dunlops?

There's a lot of sand in central florida, and sometimes I am confronted with a sandy dirtroad that I have to traverse. The dunlop's sketchy sand performance and mediocre(?) asphalt performance has me wondering if there's a tire that just does everything better. I'm not trying to turn it into a dirt bike but I would like to lean more on the adventure side if possible.

What are you guys replacing your dt3-rs with?

How much (in %) of your miles is sandy roads?

(those motoz will surely sacrifice street performance)

Lets go with 10% but how effective the selected tire is likely effect how much I ride in sand. I have to ride on asphalt as I drive to trails on roads, and go to work on the bike sometimes.

In that case, I would give the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR a try, the tires the Rally model comes with.

I went with the Scorpions when I installed the RSD Wheelset. They handle much better both on-road and in mild off-road conditions. They also are still smooth and quiet.
I will be going back to the Dunlops when these wear-out only because I like the looks. I wish they handled as well as the Scorpions but I really like that flat track look.

The scorpions are one of the best looking adv tires I've seen so it seems like this is a pretty good choice for me.
