If you're looking for an off-road tire that aren't too noisy on blacktop, Cooper stt's are the way to go.  Best bang for the buck, and they last long too.  I've had bfg mud terrains km2's, but they lose tread way too fast and are quite pricey.

Copper are the only way to go.  I am currently running g and have ran atleast four sets of the SST and the now the Max.  I currently have 30K and they are in awesome shape.  In between sets I ran Toyo's- huge mistake- got 24K till they were darn near bald.  Every set of Coopers I ran I got 50-55K out of them on heavy diesels...

Toyo M-55.  Not to loud, great traction, great wear, just rotate them every 5-6k and drive.  I tow quit a bit, and play in mud/snow/dirt.  I have 25k on mine now and they are about 1/2 gone...

almost forgot about these tires... This is possibly the best tire on a heavy rig if you drive a lot of gravel. not the best looking and not the best off road but a very stout tire that wears well.

A couple of years ago I went with the Goodyear Wrangler AT's from Wal Mart.  Not an MT but plenty aggressive enough IMO.  Tread wear has been great, noise isn't too much, and traction has been superb.  And for $660 installed w/tax for a full set of 31/10.50's, I couldn't pass them up.  I'd say at least give them a look next time you're there.

Bummer man.  I just put a set on my 06 duramax, hope they last.  When i went through buying tires, i had to wade through so much *censored*, it drove me nuts.  One person would say a tire is crap and the next would say it was wonderful.  I chose Toyo mt's because they had the best reviews overall, they are quiet for a mt, and resonably priced when i bought them online.  You have to remember though, we do drive 8000 pound trucks, not 3000 pound yota's that can run on a set of tires for 60k.

I find that guys that say they get more than about 30k miles on toyo mud tires either never see snow/ice or they drive that last season scared to death. I run summer and winter skins because I spend a ton of time driving in the mountains and riding on anything shy of good tires scares me. I run duratrac's in the winter on my dmax.

3/4 and 1 ton trucks use up all brands of mud terrains pretty quick.  If you have to have a mud terrain on a 3/4 or 1 ton then plan on replacing much sooner than you would with a good all terrain tire. 

The Toyo MT is my favorite mud terrain for ride quality and last a long time on 1/2 tons and smaller trucks but not on the bigger trucks.

Always had good success with BFG's. Have a set of KM's on one of my trucks(chevy 1500 4by) thats got 50k on them and still at 60% tread.

Had Pro Comps on my other truck(Chevy 2500 HD), switched to Nitto's before last hunting season and am very happy. Nittos are alot quieter than my Comp's where, and they grip anything you run them on. Will see how long they last.

I stayed away from Toyo's cause I dont like the store that sells them, everyone seems to run them, and everyone I know thats had them loves the traction but they dont last but a couple of years.

I know what tires not to get.  Goodyear Wranglers came on my 2010 F350 and they sucked.   Worn out in 25k   and slipped around so much on wet pavement they were dangerous.   I have a 3500 # trailer & had to go to 4 wd  at stop lights with any road incline at all in wet weather.      I replaced them with the new BF good but have not run them long enough to give a report.   Mike

Some of us must have different ideas on what 60% tread is. To me, bald is about 7/32"
