Tires - GMC Sierra 2500HD - recommendation please

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD. Currently have Goodyear Wrangler HT LT245/75R16. Only got 20k miles out of them in 20 months. I'd like something with smooth ride, low road noise, more than 20k life expectancy, and dependable traction for the periodic snow we get here in Arkansas in the winter.
I tow our trailer maybe 2x a year long trips with 4-5 weekend trips a year max. Otherwise it's a daily pavement driver.
Suggestion? Ready..... GO!

    Check warranty on tires. Some have no mileage warranty. My Firestone OEM Transforce have 20,000 miles on them and may only get 25,000.


    Mine have 30K on them and will need replaced before summers end.

    If you only got 20K out of a set of Goodyear Wranglers, I would take a long hard look at the truck or your driving habits. There is definitely something wrong there if your tires are wearing out that fast. Goodyear tires are as good a quality tire as any of the other brands listed in this forum and I don't think just changing brands will solve your issue.

    No uneven wear, all four wearing out evenly. This truck has 125k miles on it. I have been thru a few sets of tires and at minimum I can get 30-40k from a set.
