Default ok once again things change

Well now I have to rearrange my need list again.

Been running old crappy tires that came on the buggy for a while.
One of them disintegrated a while back when first getting the buggy going.
I got lucky and found a matching used one at the local scrap yard. The wife wouldn't let me buy new ones at the time because I had not made enough progress towards making the buggy a reliable runner.

Well this weekend the other front tire decided to imitate its brother and literally fell apart.

So now im stuck with a non mobile buggy till I get some tires.
Because im getting new ones I will be purchasing a pair this time.

I have seen a lot recommended and have an idea of what I want but would like opinions about tire type.

I see 2 choices when looking 3 ply and 6 ply
My mind says 6 ply would be a better tire and last longer but want to make sure.
Which is better and why?

Also as far as tire type
Im thinking knobby up front with lugs on the rears
Is this the right set up or do you suggest something different?

Keep in mind that this buggy will be used for off road trails, and hunting.
It will only be used on the street once in awhile. Longest run on street would only be a couple of miles and that wont be until after I get it street legal and get a title for it. Since it never had one that will be a long process and wont happen for some time. I do not plan to ever do any track racing with it.

Current tire sizes front 19x7-8 rear 20x10-10

Sizes im thinking of going to
Front 20x7-8
rear 22x10-10

Want a little more ground clearance with out having to change rims.
If you have suggestions for other sizes that would work please feel free to toss them out
