The right tires

I am looking for some opinions on tires out there today. I have a 02 2500 long bed with leveling kit. I want to run a 35/12.50/18 I would prefer a mud terrain but am not set on them. I dont like the Toyo mud terrains. We run them on our work trucks and might get 30,000 out of them. I have a set of 35/12.50/17 Nitto Mud grapplers on my 91 and i have put about 25,000 on them and they are probable at about 75% or better. The only reason i dont want to run these on my 02 is the road noise. I am on the freeway more often with this truck. Before those I ran Super Swamper SSR i got about 48,000 out of them. I am very open to anything out there besides the toyos. Here are a few i am looking at. Maybe you guys can help me with this.

Cooper Discovery SST
Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip
Mickey Thompson MTZ or ATZ
Supper Swamper SSR
