Tires NITTO or Laufenn
These are quieter on the road, but that could be the more luxury cab interior. I don't feel or hear vibrations like I always did in my brother's 4x4s back in the day. They seem like a decent overall tire. They handled mud okay, and don't track up the grass on my properties, and did okay on some snow and ice recently.
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers (similar to Falken Wildpeak) on my 2017 FXT Touring, and have Michelin CC on my wife’s Lexus RX, and given your situation I’d say the Michelin CC would do the trick and be a more comfortable drive with better MPG.
Nitto Terra Grapplers. Horrible in the rain is an understatement. They wore pretty fast as well.
I'm running Wildpeak AT4Ws now and they've great so far. Haven't had any problems on wet roads, handled the foot of snow and ice my area got recently just fine. Pretty decent off road as well.

Best bang for buck I reckon
I love every set of nittos I’ve owned
Was at this overlanding event once and a guy was drilling into his Nitto spare to demonstrate how to plug. He was getting a workout in somewhat cold weather trying to *drill* into his Nitto.
Reason I'm asking is I'm running Nitto NeoGens 280tw (205/50/15) on a fairly light, low horsepower car (D15B7 Del Sol). I've had alignments done, check my air pressure every other time I get gas (35psi) and I'm at the wear bars in 12k miles.
My 22 Turbo came with Laufenn tires. I never heard of them, it’s a Hankook brand.
I rented a car that had Laufenn tires last month. Drove for 20 minutes and had a blowout on both passenger side tires. This was driving on city streets!
With 2 sets of Ridge Grapplers, I always had one that the tire shop never could balance. Plus they aren’t any quieter than a mud terrain.
