Default Help with tire selection on Sub

I've got an '01 K2500 Sub and a new set of 20x8.5 Weld Evo wheels to put on it.
Which tires do you recommend for the best all around perforamnce?
I need good treadwear and good performance in wet (rain/ice/snow) conditions. My dealer has recommended a couple of different tires.
Cooper Discoverer H/T Plus (made in USA)
Toyo Proxes ST (made in Japan)
Michelin LTX M&S (made in France)
I'm leaning towards the Coopers. I have had two sets of Cooper Discoverer ATs on my '00 K3500 dually and loved them.
Any opinions on the tires listed or any additional inputs?
Any inputs on sizes?

How much are you wanting to spend?

I run Falken STZ04's on my 20s and they perform well in the rain and dry. I don't run them in the winter time so ice/snow I really don't know. No tire of any sort will be any good on ice....

As far as wet/dry performance goes, I'd buy my Falkens again. Good treadwear, reasonably priced.....thats my pick.

Our of the ones you listed however, I'd go with the Michelins.
