I had the Long Trail Tours on my 4Runner. A lot of people confuse it with the Radial Long Trail T/A's.
They drove well on the highway in both dry and wet conditions. They maintained good traction in the rain and I always felt secure. But I felt they were absolutely miserable on dirt roads and in light (dusting) snow. Thankfully never had to test them in any serious snow or ice.
I thought them comfortable tires with some road noise. But it was nothing that turning the radio a bit louder couldn't cure.
Now I have to point out that they replaced the Dunlop AT-21 OEM tires which were absolutely horrible. So I may have been a bit more forgiving.
At 13,000 miles, I had a belt separation in one tire. This caused the vehicle to pull to the right. Discount Tire offered to replace that one tire for free but I insisted on replacing all four. They then cut me a deal on the Michelin MS/2 tires.
I know you have ruled out the MS/2 tires but I have to say do consider them. On a scale of 1-10 (10 the best): I rate the Dunlops as a "2"; the Long Trail Tours as "6"; the Michelins as "9.5". The traction of the MS/2 in dry, wet, and snow have been incredible. Road noise is virtually nil with them too.
The last winter we had the Tours on, we got about a half inch of snow. I was disappointed that I had to use 4WD. It managed to get me around while others were stranded but I felt it was "on the edge". The following winter, we now had the MS/2 tires on and the wife was driving it. We had a series of snow ranging from a light dusting to a few inches. She has a pretty steep hill in her commute so I asked her if she had to use 4WD. She replied, "What's that?" So the answer was that she never needed or used the 4WD. It made that much of a difference.
My wife now drives the 4Runner. After 2 years and 20K miles, they still look like new and incredibly quiet.
