What' tire better for 90% highway?

I live in Canada so I encounter long snowy winters. I don't off road though. I like a tire with rugged look though. What's better Bfg all terrain, nittos, toyo. Etc?

Michelin LTX M/S. Quiet and smooth on dry pavement. Will chew through ice and snow like tracks. And you should get about 95K Km out of them.

Best all around tire I'v ever used.

Nitto's - cheap, tall and skinny - last a long time

Nitto Dura Grappler - good looking tires and they wear really well. I can't wait to get rid of the Bridgestone Dueler A/T's I have on the truck and get back to the Dura Grapplers. These Duelers are way more noisy and I lost almost 1.5 mpg when I switched to them.

For a rugged looking 90% street use tire the Nitto Dura Grappler is hard to beat!

No white lettering on the nitto's - u can buy tire color pens if you want. The nitto's have one of the highest weight rating and are the skinniest of he 285's. I have been really happy with the wear.

Good Year Wrangler silent armor pro grades have done me well through 2 Alaska winters. Can't really hear them on the highway but my exhaust drowns out any tire noise.
