Another vote for Duratracs here, at around 35 PSI I find they ride great and wear very well. Another option you might want to look at are Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2's (like AK4Dave said), I went for a rip in a 4 door with these tires on it and the ride was great, can't say what they're like offroad or in snow etc. Silent Armor's are horrible tires, everyone I know who has them hates them with a passion.

The Duratracs are popular bc of the MT look. However, they are only 2 ply on the sidewall and don't self clean very well. The guys on my trail rides with them have trouble in the mud and bead breaks when aired down. Several will disagree bc they are cool looking and a new design. The BFG All terrain is tough as nails. I have never lost a bead or punctured one on sharp rocks. No, they are not a MT. But they do clean the mud better than the Duratrac. The Duratrac performs very well in wet weather. The BFG AT tire performs well in wet weather just not as great as the Duratrac. The road noise and ride is great on both.

Let me help you out with this. I recently purchased some Hankook Dynapro AT's. I bought them because I had too. The Cooper Discoverer's that were on my Rubi had large chunks of rubber missing from the tread after an off-road excursion. The coopers were quiet, but they felt every bump on the road. I couldn't buy soda, because after 3 miles of freeway driving, all of the carbonation would be gone. I bought the Hankooks from the recommendation of Discount tire. I was shopping at Costco at the time and they told me that these tires are the way to go. The price was right too at $115 that day. They are now $120. They are so nice on the freeway and there is no noise coming from them at all. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good AT. Btw, I am running 245/75/17 so I am not too far off of your tire size. Good luck.

In terms of load rating (tread plys can be higher ) The sidewall of the Duratrac design is 2 ply all sizes all load ranges confirmed by GY. Why do you think they don't advertise the sidewall rating? This would be a huge selling point since most A/T tires are only two. I'm not knocking the tire. Its a great tire. It's Just why I went a different route. Doesn't matter since the op is not concerned about the rocks.
The best softest A/T for the road... Don't wheel much tire - Take a look at the REVO or the Michelin LTX A/T 2 very nice tires.
