I have Toyo M608 and they are great! A very stong tire, with enough tread for other than pavement if needed. I hear them 'sing' to me and it's a good sound. You'll appreciate the sound if it changes as a early warning something isn't right.
I got mine for Les Schwab. Since I mostly drive out West, they are located in just about any town, so there's that to consider when you select your tires; will there be a store to service them if there's a problem on the road.
I agree, These are Toyo M608 tires that I got for my F350. They are 225-70-19.5 but are available in the 245 and 265. I went to the 225 for my winter tires since my old winter tires were 235-85-16 and they are close enough that my chains still work. You can get then without studs.

I have them mounted now, pics to come. They have a little bit of "sing" to them but with the life expectancy of 19.5 commercial tires on our trucks, you may consider doing a more traction type tire, as you will have them a very long time, and since you are 4x4, and not knowing what or where you will be doing things in 5+ years, having a traction tire vice a steer tire may be worth the little bit of sing vice silence when you need a bit more traction.
Just a few thoughts since I have been running 19.5's for 5 years now, and now I have two sets. these studded for winter and 265-70-19.5's for the summer that are much less aggressive, but still are more of an all-season tread.
