Default Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs vs Nitto Terra Grappler

I am looking to put one of these two types of tired on my 2011 F150 FX4. The size I am looking at is stock size 275/65-R18. And my question is what is the best tire out of the two for highway use and all around tire. I don't do a lot of offloading but I do live in snowy North Dakota! I am just wondering what is the best aggressive looking all around tire that you can't hear on the highway or very minimal noise and also handles well with highway speeds! Any questions let me know and thanks in advance for the feedback!

Duratracs have been great on my bush truck. Although- they chip a bit easier and have thin sidewalls compared. Great in snow and ice as AT's go though.

Love my duratracs, not very loud at all on the highway. As far as snow, they have the snow flake rating and have holes for studs. It didn't really snow this year in VA so no chance to test them this year.

Duratracs are WAY better in snow and on ice then Terra grapplers.

I had the Silent Armor Pro Grade 10 Ply and they were awesome tires. Id like to find the best all season tire that's aggressive looking and well performing, those were great tires, 30000KMs and literally had no wear

It's for this exact reason I am swapping my Bfg AT on my daily driver for duratraks. Just a good all around tire.

Thank you everyone for the comments so far? How do they handle during highway speeds (Duratracs)?
