I spent 3 days shopping on Tire rack, looking through the longest mileage truck tires. The consensus came to the Firestone Destination A/T's. Most of TR's reviews said 75-80-100,000 miles. Firestone gives them a 50K warranty.
Also had them do an alignment- I was .85 degrees toed out. Took them 45 minutes just to do the alignment (with 3 guys doing it).
I don't have a pic of the whole truck yet. But here's the fitment pics.

I have those same tires in 31 x 10.50 and have been quite happy with them. They are a nice compromise between all weather traction and ride quality. I have about 50,000 on mine and will likely be replacing them this year. For some reason, I tend to wear one of the rear tires faster than the others, so I never get the most mileage possible
If I didn't shove the pedal through the floor on regular occasions, I have no doubt they would have lasted considerably longer than they did...but, considering the BFGs I had before that went for 25,000 miles, I think they were a really good investment.

You see a lot of trucks here in Florida with Destination LE's and AT's on them, I guess there are a lot of Tires Plus and other places that sell them. They are a good long lasting tire for highway use, and at a good price too. I like their agressive tread pattern. I still get pretty good MPG with them too. Maybe check some LE's for highway use.

By comparison, the headers on my Mustang will scrape if I hit that same spot. Only place the car does that short of some insane driveway approach that's at like a 45 degree angle.

The only time they have ever rubbed is on a very specific turn that I make maybe once or twice a week (I try to avoid it as there are two lanes, but sometimes I get stuck on the inside). There is about a 6-8 inch depression where the road surface meets the gutter, and if I go around that corner with the wheel cranked and hit that depression, I will get a minor rub that lasts about a half second.
