Throw my 2cents in. Have had coopers on all type of vehicles from jeeps to fullsize broncos to 71 monte carlo. have never had any issues w/them mileage or anything else. zeons on my truck right know w/about 25k on them and you can't tell that they're worn. My only thing w/them is they seem to clump up a little in the snow.

Very good tire and if you are looking at the Toyo A/T then you should probably look at the Nitto Terra Grappler as well. Same parent company, almost identical tread pattern and they tend to run a good bit cheaper than their sister Toyo offerings.
LOT of guys on here have the Terra Grapps. I put a set on my Grand Cherokee 4x4 and have been very happy with them. Without a doubt the best wet pavement tire I've ever owned. I was able to find a set in 265/65/17 for $127.50 a tire...

That would be affirmative. For a daily driver SUV I saw no reason to go to an LT tire. Especially when the ply rating and almost 2400 lb. weight rating per tire was more than adequate.
I put five plugs in the set of BFGs that were on the Grand Cherokee when I bought it in two and a half years. I have yet to have to plug a Nitto in almost two years and I go to all the same places with it.
You'll pay more for an LT, obviously. When I bought mine I also considered a slightly taller tire in 265/70/17 in both P and LT flavors. If memory serves the P rated tire was $139 and the LT was $169...
