I have Bridgestone Dueler A/T"s They are very quiet on highways in my opinion. I live in the desert so I don't know how they would do in mud but in sand they are pretty good and in all other on road situations.
I have had BFG All Terrains they were very good all around tires to and not to noisey on the highway.

Plus the front cap is designed for short box trucks. Sweet.

Nittos are a good tire though, i'm sure you'll be satisfied - rotate em so they last!
Also! to help kill that rear-end skip when you're hitting potholes your best helper is going to be a good set of shocks. The bilsteins (if you can still get them) work for me and some of the other good brands should as well.

heres my 2 cents having run 4 different tires on my truck, when i got it i had toyo mt's on the stock 20's got rid of those when i punctered a sidewall in a mud hole, wear on them was ok, but my 33x12.50's were loud and once the road was wet it was like they were ice skates, next was bfg ats i got 17's when i got them bought the tires used, imo did almost as good in mud and on trails as the toyos did and alot quieter, not pleasant one ice either, but i only ran them while i waited for my m-16's to get in (3 month back order) interco m-16's (285/70/17 load range e) offroad traction wise best tire i ever had, but they howled worse than a pack of coyotes and like the mt.s wouldnt grip the road when wet, so i sold them to a buddy with about half tred on them after 15k (had just put my lift on and wanted 35's), next set was goodyear duratracks, best wet and snow/ice traction ive ever had on the truck, the ride on them isnt bad, but they feel alittle soggy in turns at speed,but the soft sidewals really absorb the bumps and with alot of hard use havnt punctured one yet (load range d tire, but still rated for over 3000lbs) they work great on trails and in mud too, not as good as the m-16's but about the same as toyo mt's and after 15k still have alot of tread (duratracks on on the truck in my sig 315/70/17), but for the next set im trying to find something more highway friendly i spend alot more time on paved roads now so im leaning towards cooper at3's or the new st maxx (big fan of cooper tires most of my family runs them)
also abit late but im adding this for anyone else whose looking

That's what I have now and am trying to get away from them. They make my truck ride like crap...And rated at 50000 miles...I have about 20000 miles and the rears are practically bald...and I never smoked them, not once...didn't even spin them much on ice and snow
