Default I need advice on tires for a 2wd

I recentley bought a set of 20's for my truck and I want to get a good set of street tires for it. I have done the math on tire size and 275 55 20 is the size I want to go with. This seems to be popular size for 2wd trucks. This is the first 2wd truck that I have ever owned so tires for it is kind of a new thing for me. I want a good performance tire but I need to have enough traction to still pull my boat out of the water. Right now I have the stock goodyears on 17's. Does anyone have any advice on a good tire? I have been looking at Pirelli's ATR and Bridgestone's Dueller AT. Are these to aggressive? Any input would be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Pirelli ATR's are good tires, I've had good luck with the Michelins too, The Dueler AT's are a good AT Tire, I'm currently running the Dueler Alenza's more of a highway tire, they've got good wet traction and ride quiet.

What size Dueler's are you running? Bridgestone makes a very good tire I have had a couple different kinds on several different vehicles but I have never had the Alenza's. You don't happen to have any pictures of those tires do you? I want to keep the truck look but I do not want to be one of those guys who put's off road tires on a 2wd drive truck. Just not my thing and to those who do "To each is there own". Anyway I am starting to look at the Alenza's pretty hard. I have read some reviews on line and everyone seems to like them.
