Tires and their purpose........

I do a LOT of trail riding. I experience many different trail conditions. I dont care for mud, so Im definitely not in the market for "Soft/Mud" tires. I really like to catch a ride a day or two after it rains. That way its a little tacky from the moisture and dust is down. Traction is best at this time as well.
My main question is; If I buy "Hard Terrain" tires, will I sacrifice traction in muddy situtaions should I run into a situation where mud is a must.
If anyone could make some suggestions on my next tire purchase, please do! Im in need of a rear withing the next 100 miles of trails. Im looking for LONG LIFE, good braking grip, and good grip in medium terrain.
Any help is appreciated

Try the Maxxis SI (Soft Intermediate).

Im currently running the MAXXISS Cross tires. They huy I got the bike from races SX so I guess they are mainly for the track. The braking really sucks on em too.
Would the SI last a while too? When I go riding Ill put 75 miles of trails on the bike in a day. I dont want to be buying tires every 6 weeks(atleast a rear anyways)

6 rides at 75 miles each ride is pretty long life for a rear tire, IMO.
