I have Kumho Load Range E M&S tires on the truck (all 6), and have been very happy with them.
When I bought the Tioga, it had the OEM tires on it. The local Tire-Rama had a good deal on Cooper M&S tires, so I had 6 of them installed. So far, we have been very happy with them. They are also Load Range E.

I have the Goodyear silent armours as well. Came with the truck and have put 2 good camping years so far. Go ice fishing through the snow as well and never get stuck or close to it. I will probably replace with another set when the time comes

I am on my second set of Michelin LTX M&S, load range E. Great tires, wear well, quiet and really hook up in the snow and ice; even when the tread is getting thin. I have not had a tire failure or a flat with them. I drive them all day in hot weather with confidence they will hold up.

Toyo Open Country, they went where my BFGs would'nt.

In a previous life, I managed a fleet of light trucks for a heli logging company. We went into places a mountain goat feared to tread in all weather conditions. I put those on all the trucks, they were the only ones that would last past 35000km, had good off highway traction, and decent highway manners.The boss'vehicles had Michelin LTX AT's they were not happy with the M&S in icy conditions.
Apparently, a number of the loggers ran Cooper Discoverers, they are somewhat less money but we did not try them.
