What do you mean by become accustomed to the higher pressures?

I got 80,000 miles out of my BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A's on my '05 F-250 4X4 PSD Crew, and I probably could have gone further. They're a smooth, quiet highway tire with plenty of grip for ramps or occasional off-road.

The Michelin LTX's are also a great tire, but they never seemed to last nearly as long as I'd like.
55,000 is about the most I could get out of my Michelins.

So it looks like either one of these. They dont offer the BF Goodrich Rugged TA in a 20in wheel. Got factory harley wheels.

Michelin® LTX® A/T2 tires provide the durability and grip necessary in a rugged off-road tire without sacrificing handling and on-road comfort. Michelin's MaxTouch Construction gives the LTX A/T2 the longest tread life in its class, with a third steel belt to offer extra durability.

•Michelin® Biting Edges™ offer extra grip in nearly any terrain. Notched blocks in the tread pattern dig into most surfaces, providing better off-road traction on mud, gravel, dirt, and wet grass.

•Comfort Control Technology™ greatly reduces vibrations and noise. Computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing help deliver a more comfortable, quieter ride.

E range tires run 80psi for max load..VERY stiff when not loaded..But very stable when towing..I just lower the pressure in the rears when not towing.
Michelin changed the LTX and guys didnt seem to impressed with the new design so, I put the new design Firestone AT on
285/75...So far very happy. No noise and good in the rain.
I replaced a set of Coopers that felt like Ice skates in the rain

Take a look at Yokohama GeoLander. They are top ranked on most comparisons including the Gov't ratings. I know several people who are very happy with them on similar applications.

I have BFGoodrich all-terrain t/a LT285/65R20. Great tire I've had 6 or 7 sets with great success. 65 to 75000 miles depending on rotation

I've had many sets of these too, no complaints. Good look too.

Goodyear Wrangler AT/S

These tires don't like rain that much from my experience and is consistent with reviews on major online tire websites. But one of the cheaper tires around from my experience but if you rotate every oil change, you should see similar life as I did.
