Michelin LTX MS2 forever. 2011 GMC 3500 DRW. They last forever, and do reasonably well in the snow considering it's a dually. I typically get 75-80K out of every set and that involves regular towing......at least 50% of the time there is some sort of trailer behind it. I know they don't look the coolest, but as much as I drive (45K+ per year) I'll take the tread wear as one of my biggest deciding factors.

I don't really wear out tires. I usually move on to another vehicle or upgrade wheels and tires.
But these Coopers probably have 20-25K miles on them; and they are still like new. They are not noisy AT ALL.
These are E-rated and tow/haul fantastic.
My Ford Dually came with Michelin LTX when I bought it. They were great tires. Whatever you do, don't buy Goodyears.

I have a set of defender ltx's 265/60/20's on my 2015 Chevy 2500. I couldn't stand the Goodyear SRA's that came with it. I love them the really improved the already great ride of the new 2500's. Good traction in the snow as well. I put them on at 12,000 miles and have 32000 miles now I do not see a lot of wear yet. However I also haven't really towed anything yet.

I've had and towed heavy with both the BFG All Terrain KO and the BFG Rugged Trail; both good tires. But BFG is REAL proud of their product. ($$$$!!)
