Here is my question. After logging several 100k miles I am looking for a quieter tire for the highway... if that even exists.

Kinda weird, i run less pressure than your "aired down" ON THE HIGHWAY...
Have you considered the General Grabber X3, i have a friend with them and they are not nearly as loud as the KM3 and Toyo M/T.
I run General ATX all terrains and have for many hundreds of thousands of miles, i have owned BFG KM3 and TA and TA K/O, and i much prefer the General all terrain tire much better. After having such great luck with them a buddy decided to also try the General Grabber X3 MT on his very heavy work bed F250 and hes having great mileage and they seem quieter than most mud tires. I cant say about the coopers or falkens or any of those, i dont see them much around here.
I get very very high mileage out of my General tires, my current General Grabber ATX on my daily driver 4runner has DOUBLE the mileage on them as the most i ever got out of a set of BFG tires and my Generals still have life left in them.
This picture i took when they had 102,000 miles to send to all my buddies, these tires are going to go to 125,000.
Oh, i run 28psi up front and 24psi in the rear. Kinda weird you air up to 42psi to run the road, seems like the tire would be ballooned up and riding on the center of the tread. I run cross country a lot, pull trailers a lot, have been to the tip of Baja mexico and back and chased multiple desert races in Baja, been from San Diego to Miami to Mississippi pulling a trailer in less than a week. The mileage of these is unbeatable, they are uber quiet, handle exceptionally well, i would suspect their mud tires would be just as good and better than everything else on the market.
