Default Tire model/brand help

So I got some 15" steel wheels but I can't decide on tires. I'm going to be running a 31x10.50/15 and have narrowed it down to 4 tires. Any first hand experience with these tires would be great.

Here are the 4
Dick Cepek Radial FC II
Dick Cepek Mud Country
Good Year DuraTrac
TreadWright Guard Dog (nervous a retread with a mostly freeway commute)

i love my treadwrights. but if your truck is your DD and you are considering the guard dogs be forwarned there is some road noise from such an agressive M/T tread. you will hear form others on the forum that the treadwrights do in fact wear very well and I don't know anyone that has had any problems.

My buddy just got the DuraTrac's on his Trooper II. He loves them. I think they are some of the best A/T tire out there right now. They look great, too.

I'm not concerned with road noise as much as I'm concerned about the small chance of a retread separating.
