well what kind of driving do you do? do you need traction? or just want a smooth ride?
you can get some pretty basic tires like what probably came on there for $500
most passenger rated(4ply) light truck tires will run slighty higher(probably$600 like i said) most brands will carry a highway type tread with smaller lugs and lots of siping. these will ride a bit more quiet and last a good 60.000 miles. the rubber compound is usually a bit softer for a better ride but less cut protection
AT(all terrains) will have bigger lugs and less siping-but you will get more traction and they will shed snow or mud easier. they still ride good but you might get more noise in the cab. any good AT usually lasats about 50.000 miles
personally i like all terrains for the ride and traction off road
i also have my tires siped-most shops should have a sipe machine just ask them. at my work it's an extra $12.50 a tire but it allows more of the tread to be on the ground while driving. it also helps air get in between the tread which makes the casing run alot cooler. anytime you can decrease the temp of the tires while driving tire life will be extended :)
hope that helps!
personally i run nothing but toyo's

fyi siping is the tiny"cuts" in the tread. basically all tires(except mt's) will have some siping from the manufacturer. but any good tire shop will have a machine that adds even more siping. it does wonders with traction because of having more tread on the ground. also very good for icy/snow conditions. AND since more of the tread is on the road stopping distance is also improved :)
I work at a tire store by the way lol. hence the knowledge

it MIGHT clear those...i'd be curious to see if they'd hit the control arms or not. my edge with t-bars sits alot higher than your truck and mine rubbed just a hair and they are a bit narrower
im not sure you'd find an all terrain in that size either...thats more of an old school size like 80's stepside chevys.
but hey! worth a try! call up a dealer around where you live see if they have them in stock :) and see if you could have them test fitted. if they don't rub that would be pretty sweet

those are pretty decent tires especially for the price-we occasionally get an order of those at work. just keep in mind that price is for the tire ONLY lol. add new valve stems, balancing, and some shops even charge for dismounting and mounting and charge extra for the warranty. just food for thought. sometimes just looking at the tire price isnt enough if the place you buy them nickels and dimes you.
