H/T tire on a lifted truck?

Time for new tires. I'm looking at going with an H/T highway tire this time verses an all terrain. Most of my driving is back and forth on the highway between CA and AZ.

Anyone have pics of a similar setup, on a lifted truck? Wondering if it will look strange without an aggressive tread pattern.

Thanks

Honestly, I think it will look really bad. I'd go with a set of all terrian tires. The Nitto and Toyo's have excellent road manners. So do the BFG AT KO with a little more noise.

Its harder to find Street tires that large. If you changed to a 3157017 which is 35 tall. You could do the Bridgestone Revo 2, its kinda a hybrid highway / at tire. Or maybe a 3257017 nitto grapler.

Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking to do...but the Yokohama H/T's. They come in a 315 70 17, and also make an A/T. I'm just looking for more of a quiet ride than anything at this point. I spend a lot of time on the road

I just noticed you have mud tires. Any all terrian is gonna be an improvement in road manners over the Pro Comp Xterrians you have. I really think you will be really happy with something like the BFG AT KO, Nitto or Toyo all terrian tires.
Also, you have a great looking set of rides.
