"quiet"??
if you driven Econoline Fords for more than a little, you know the twin I-Beam front cups tire tread.
If you don't rotate them regular, religiously, they'll sound like noisy all-terrain tires due to cupping in 20k miles or less
..L.T.A.

I use 245/75/16 Firestone Transforce HT 2. I'm on the second set in four years, and they're very quiet. Living in Chicagoland, I've never had any problems driving through flooded streets or snowy roads. I paid $709 for a set of four last week. I switch them every two years, regardless of the condition of the tread.
Being safe on the roads leads to success in business.

What is the weather like in your area? Do you need an A/T?
10 ply tire are a must imo
Cooper is a great tire.
I also like Hankook for a more budget friendly. We just put a set of Hankook Dynapro's on one of our pickups and it really made a difference with ride and noise.

I'll keep that in mind if I move to Calgary area. Condo is listed but market is slow here.
With Larry on this, Cooper all the way for the win.

Dang Ontani tire pricing for a work van looks pretty darn good.
Tireracks name brand want $850-$950 for a set.
Weather can be sketchy here northeast
I don’t off road.
I don’t drive in the snow unless it’s light and get caught in it.
I drive like a little old man with both hands on top of steering wheel.
City and highway driving.
Short distances ranging from 1 mile to 40 miles one way.

Just upgraded the tires on my trailer. Different than a van but same reasoning. Goodyear Endurance ST. Seems like money well spent over the china bombs that came on the trailer from the factory..

In general highway treads will last longer than "traction" treads. We bought 1en- ply tires tires from Les Schwab and their salespeple were constantly trying to slip traction tires past our employees. 50k with a highway tread, 32k with a traction tread at the same cost.
Just recommending a tire brand isn't going to be helpful, as every tire maker sells tires that use different compounds.
In general, the harder compound (long mileage warranty) the longer the tread life, with the trade-off of less grip/longer stopping distance than the softer compounds.
