The new generation of AT tyres from BFG, Coopers, General Tyre, all comply with the latest EU noise regs, so should be quieter. The manufactureres claim they are still as good off-road, but I would like to hear a few 'real world' reviews.

The wheels look fine, just make sure you get the right offset.  

Tyres become more competitively priced when they are a Land Rover size, I think 265/75x16's are common and should fit your truck - you may need to lose the mudflaps if they rub.

they look very nice to be honest

I would stick with normal tyre size if you do  a lot of towing, any upsize in tyre will affect fuel consumption and power considerably, I have 265/75/16's on  ine and yes they fit but do change the bearing quite a bit aswell, manual gearbox will be better than slush though
