Default Tire decision

I am looking for tires for my truck. I have been told Cooper Zeon LTZ's and Nitto Terra Grapplers. Here's the links to both I'm torn between the two. I want to be able to do good offroad but also have decent traction on road.

I have Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors on mine and I love them (yes I have taken them off-road). here's a link http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....er+SilentArmor They are a bit pricey though.

Talking

If your looking at different brands, I've got the Pro Comp Xtreme A/T, 33x12.5x17's. I've had them for right at 10,000 miles and they still look new. I'm very happy with them. They are by far the best A/T I've had, and I've had quite a few. They are still an A/T though, so you have to kick the hemi down to clean them out, but they are really good on a trail. Here's a link for a review.
