The Super swamper's obviously will not get a great mileage out of them. the tyoyo's as a tire maybe great, BUT they cost more than Super swamper's of the same size and wont pull near as good as them. the Copper's will give good mileage and pull pretty well in mud. The Terra Graps i have a lot of miles on them i will give them that, but they will get stuck on a banana peeling. Why dont you look into Pit bull rocker's? Dave had some and they pulled great in mud for him, dont think he had them on the Highway so i dont know what the mileage will be, even seen a set at the local race on a modified truck. Obviosly they didnt do as good as a set of bogger's BUT then again he was shoving 800 hp to them in a truck that weigh's 2500# it just wouldnt hook up but did decent.

+1 for terra grapplers being the worst tire ever. I got maybe 20k miles out of them on my old superduty and they sucked in everything except dry pavement.

I have Kuhmo road venture a/ts on my personal truck and even put them on some of the work trucks I liked them so much. Good wear, good handling, haven't had them off road much, but in the little bit of slop I have to go through where we dump our brush/waste/landscaping chit out of our dump trailer they seem pretty good. Sounds like you're looking for a street tire that will do okay if you happen to venture off the road.. so either the coopers on the kuhmos would be good options. Had a set of coopers on my ranger way back in the day and took it off road all the time, they did alright for what they were.

My theory at this point is that they wear for chit on superdutys. Or me and Kris give our trucks the ya bish too much and tear up the tires.
