Mickey Thompson, Dick Cepek and Pro Comp have some nice all terrain tires too but with tires being so expensive it's hard to take a gamble on what's good and bad.

I ran GY Duratracs on my '05. I went through my first set in about 30k... The next set was looking ok after about 20k when I traded the truck. I think that set was going to last a lot longer.
In town they were pretty tame. On the highway, you could tell they were there, they had a pretty good hum to them. The hum wasn't as much as my old BFG mud terrains I had on my Jeep.... but, that was in a jeep too that has paper thin steel body panels.
I lived in Pittsburgh when I had the duratracs and they did perfectly fine in the snow, they did perfectly fine in the rain. And dry traction was good as well. I never took them off-road.
Speaking of those BFGs I had though, hands down a better tire. From having that tire, and knowing that I won't take an expensive truck off road like I will an old wrangler, when I'm ready to get bigger tires on my F150 it will be the BFG KOs. These tires have a hell of a reputation in the Jeep community for a tire that can get you out of some pretty hairy stuff but still be great for your drive to work. I know they are pricey, but they are pricey because BFG knows what they have.

I agree with the BFG recommendations. 
I have BFG A/T on my new FX4 and M/T on the Wrangler. Both perform well. The mud-terrains are awesome off road but the all-terrains are more livable on a daily driver.
I have heard great things about the Firestone Destination A/T as well but have never owned any. I have several friends that really like them.

Not sure about BFG AT's on the street only but if you drive down dirt/gravel roads on a regular basis you wont get more than 30k miles out of those pieces of crap. Cooper tires went 45k miles

They last driving on pavement only but if more people actually did all terrain driving I bet fewer people would buy them. Cooper simply lasts longer going up and down 5.5 miles (one way) of dirt/gravel roads every day... but what do I know
