I was looking at these too, they are pretty comparable to the Toyo AT's. I was able to get the Toyo's a little cheaper. We'll see how they perform.

I replaced the junkyear HP's on my 2006 Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI 2wd with the Hankook Ventus RH06 tires (275/55/20). I only had 22k miles on the truck, but in the rain with the Goodyear’s the truck was down right dangerous. This is the 10th pickup I've owned over the years, and I have never had such a bad experience with tires in the rain. I thought maybe the very poor traction was tied to the design of the truck, but after reading reviews about the Goodyear tires (including on this site), it became clear the tires were the culprit. I bought the Hankook's after reading reviews, and found a great deal on e-bay from eastcoasttires. I paid $525 for all 4, including shipping. These tires are a 1000 percent improvement and now make the truck fun to drive again. The traction in the rain is incredible.

If you're talking 20" I also went with the zeon LTZ's and they have been outstanding. They look great, no real difference in road noise, and I feel much more comfortable rolling on them. The stock Wranglers were terrible. I paid $155 a piece for these at a local tire shop, and there is not one bad thing i can say about them.

Here's what I'm thinking about http://www.greendiamondtire.com/productsny2.html Icelanders M/T don;t know if they'd fit your bill though.

Also, on the LTZ's I am still yet to hear 1 negative thing about them.
