Default are there cool NON agressive looking passanger tires

since my other thread got derailed by everyone wanting to tell me how cool their OFF road or AT tires were, I drive about 25-30 K a year and my truck has only seen 5 dirt roads in its life.

I was just wondering if there was a cool looking ( but NON aggressive ) passenger tire that is quiet and will give me superior highway use ??

I was thinking size either.... 265 or 285 / 70 / 17

Before my Discoverer ATR's I had Toyo Open Country H/T's and I never heard a peep from those things. Great traction on road (until you burn em up with donuts ) and on wet pavement, I still recommend an A/T because it will do much better in the snow and ice especially this time of year. The choice is up to you though cuz my old Toyo's made it impossible to even get to school they were so bad. If you stopped at a light on an icy road it was gonna take you about 30-45 seconds to get started and get across the dang intersection, I have had no problems with my A/T's.

edit: Just saw you were from Florida forget the whole ice deal.

The Yokohama Parada Spec-X is a good street tire, great traction in dry and wet weather.

Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza. It's an all-season made for trucks/SUVs and has a highway tread but is still capable of the occasional dirt/grass foray.

This is a very specific recommendation; they make a lot of different Duelers and some are crap.
