One more you should consider IMO.
I'm still running the OEM Goodyears on my 2011 FX4 wheels.

But when they are all used up I'm going back to the BFGoodrich All Terrain TA's.

I've been running these tires on all my trucks since the 80's and had great luck with them. (Yep I'm old) LOL.

They can be pricey but they last forever and ride great with very little noise.

Good Luck

Just replaced my Cooper LTZs (305/55/20) with Goodyear Silent Armor and am very happy with tires...I got about 50k on the Coopers before they started cupping and became noisy...Shocks needed replaced also and prob caused the improper wear...No complaints about the Coopers....I almost did the Duratracs in same size as your looking at but my driving is also 90+% highway and wanted something quiet...I went with the 305/60/20 Silent As with the Rancho Quick lift shocks...My front is now about 1/4'' higher than the back but looks good....The SA's are very quiet..ride great and still have a simi agressive look...But they are proud of them too $$$.......good luck with your search....

A family member of mine just changed from stock Goodyear's to the Duratrac's...WOW! Very quite on the highway and they are stamped with the mountain snowflake symbol. I was sold instantly.

Ive had a set of duratracs for roughly 3 years now and they are an excellent tire. Fairly quiet on the highway (only hear em with the windows down) great off road and on and awesome in snow and ice.

AND, if you live in an area where you can run studs in the winter, the DuraTracs are pinned for #16 studs.
