Default Good All Terrain tire on the highway

So I'm kind of looking for a unicorn and I'm well aware of that but I want to get a set of all terrain tires to replace my factory Goodyears but I do mostly highway driving (70 miles a day or so) and I don't want to take. A huge hit on my mpg or wear on the tires.

I have a '13 Screw EcoBoost XLT 4x4 with the 3.55 gears, about 57k on the clock right now and had looked at getting factory take-offs from the 16 as I like the 18" black and gray FX4 wheel but the only tire that looks good is the heavier LT. Now I'm looking at the Hankook DynaPro ATM and either keeping my factory chrome wheel which I hate or getting something different. I had considered the Pirelli Scorpion but have read a lot of bad reviews on here about them.

Main reason I want all terrain is the look of a more aggressive tire, my truck sees little off road time and no snow as I'm in FL so I don't need the most aggressive tread pattern, just something different than a typical highway tire.

Thanks for the help, this is my first thread here but I've been a lurker for a while and you guys have caused me to spend quite a bit but haven't led me astray.

I like my Cooper Discoverer AT in 275/70/18. They are great on the highway, gravel, wet roads, etc. Have a great look, 33" tall, and no road noise. I got mine out the door for $810 with tax.

I 2nd this, had a set on my 01 F150 Screw and loved them. The Yokohama Geolander AT is a great tire also, had a set of those on my 93 Wrangler.

Well I 2nd this one! I've got them on my work truck (Chevy Express 3500). I drive roughly 4-5000 miles/month. They wear excellent with no road noise. I have around 50000 miles on them and they have plenty of tread left still. I had the same size as egfarmer on my F150 until I bought some used wheels that had good tires. I found that size for about $700 on discount tire and then had my shop put them on for $20/ tire. So roughly the same price he paid.

I know certain size nitto terras have a 65k mile warranty. Which seems to be at the top of the list as far as warranties go.

My ko2's have been great, off road and on Highway, haven't hurt MPG's too much and they are not loud at all.
They are D load rating though and not overly wide.

I'm leaning hard toward these next time.

My F-150 will get another year or more out of the factory Goodyears but my Tacoma will be up for new tires before January. I currently have 45,000+ miles on Cooper A/T3's on the Tacoma. I can't complain too much, traction has been good and I'll have over 50,000 by January. Some might run them longer, but if we get snow it will be in January-March and I want good tires then.

My brother has 60,000 miles on a set of the Firestones and I think they ride a bit quieter and smoother. Off road and snow traction is about the same and they get very good consumer ratings at tirerack.com. Cost is less than $100 more for a set of 4.

I've been struggling with this same dilemma. I certainly like the look of A/T tires but, in the entire 3 years of owning my truck, I have yet to go offroad to the point I needed to engage 4WD. It's safe to say my truck spends 99.9% of the time on pavement. Because of this, I'm thinking about just forgetting the looks and getting a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I know that's the boring choice, but I think it's the smartest one. I spoke with a Michelin rep, and they're running another $70 promotion in a couple weeks.

As for the Dynapro ATM, I had them on my last truck and I felt like they were good tires, especially considering the price. I think I only had them about 10k miles before selling the truck, but I didn't have any issues at all with them.

Willing to bet I'm the only one with this recomendation, but they are the second highest rated AT tire on the tire rack site. Great ride & quite. It's also snow rated with the three peak snowflake symbol.
