If road wear is important to you avoid the LTB. Great off-road tire but it's just not made for every day road use. It'll be noisy and wear quickly. It's also bias-ply so will flat-spot in the morning, particularly when it's cold. The LTB is not currently made in radial.

I'm not sure about the size, but check out the TSL radial. You may also want to look at the TrXus radial MT, also made by Interco (makers of Swamper tires). Neither one, however, will ride as well as your Nittos on-road. It's always a trade-off between on-the-road & off-road performance. Also note TrXus take more weight than usual to balance. TrXus are made in the size you're looking for.

If you want to get more aggressive than those Nittos, but still drive mainly on-road, why not just go for the proven BFG MT ? An outstanding tire off-road that does very well on-road and wears well for an MT. While not as aggressive as the TSL radial, the overall quality & ride are going to be much better.
