Default Best tires

After I pick up my truck from thr shop, I am going to give her new tires. I currently have Bridgestone Dueler A/Ts on it. However, I want to get a highway tire that would be quiet on the road. Any reccomandations?

Are you looking for just a highway tire? Like Something even less aggressive than the Duelers that are on there now? Or are you looking for more offroad performance?

My truck is mainly used for family trips, long distance driving. Alot of highway miles 60-65 mph. The Duelers are very noisy at high speed. My truck is all OEM "stock" including rims. I never go off roading or anything like that. So I am looking for a quiet road tire, "basically." Thanks for the input so far.

Took the words right out of my head. They suck offroad but are fantastic on the street.

OEM Continentals lasted 20k miles and wore horribly .... Gonna get only about 25 on the BF Goodrich Long Trails ... I think Michelin is my next choice
