Never had 100% road tyres on a 4x4 but I'd stick to all season tyres like the Yokohama geolander. Never had them though so can't comment
I had Yokohama Geolanders until recently, and have now switched to BFG AT. 265/75/16 on both.
The Geolanders ran absolutely fine, but they're a slightly narrower tyre than the BFG - IMVHO they didn't quite suit the car properly though. This was the ones I had fitted : https://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/brands/yokohama/geolandar-ht-g056
The BFGs now - perhaps there a very small more road noise, but the wagon is loud enough anyway that I can't be sure.
Previously I had Goodyear Wrangler RT-S tyres on it - they were decent. More road oriented than the BFG, but suited the car well, I liked em, only got rid because they started cracking due to age, so they lasted well too. Would have replaced with like for like, but I couldn't find any at the time.
So, "next time", I'd certainly have my BFG ATs again, along with the Goodyear RT-S, but I proactively removed the geolanders since they just looked "all wrong".
The Goodyear Wranlger RT-S tyres:
The Yokohama Geolanders:
And I don't think you need a pic of the BFGs as you have them. But I will anyway:

Yokohama Geolanders, great for on-road, absolute crap on mud, my 2nd D90 had new ones on when I got it, now on Goodyear MT's, noisier on the road but allow me to go over the fields etc.
