Best?
Lots of good tires made.
I bought a set from firestone, they are their "value" line called "Primewell". Have had them on the truck for about 25K and so far they are great and they were pretty inexpensive.
You can spend as much as you like, lots swear by michelins like come on the trucks from the factory.

I don't know about "best", but I do mostly highway driving. The factory 20" Michelins lasted 85k miles so I replaced them with the same tire and now have 55k on the second set and they look about half gone.

As stated there are a lot of good tires out there, Michelin and Pirelli to name a few. The only tires I will never get again are Firestone. I've never had a set that got past 20,000 miles without some sort of major failure. Side wall blow outs to name the most common.

My '96 F350 CC DRW came with firestones and I never had a failure and they lasted a ridiculously long time. Replaced them with another set and they were still going just fine when I traded the truck in.

I'm just stating the luck I've had with them. Once again tires are like oil. Every one has their preference or there would only be one co. in business.

Michelin's LTX M/S2 (the highway tire, not their A/T tire that comes on SD's as standard). They are quiet, ride and handle very well and have a 70k mile warranty. I had a set last almost 90k on my last Super Duty.
