Fred,
You're not going to find a tire like the Coyote. I've been all through this on my 93 Cummins. I was looking for a tall 16" tire that rode quiet on the highway without wandering all over like the Bias tires.
After talking to just about every tire manufacturer & dealer who knew anything I determined that the Michelin XZL came the closest but have become next to impossible to come by. A very reputable tire dealer here says that if you retread the Michelin XL casing with a more highway friendly tread, not only will they ride twice as many miles as the XL's but they'll ride quiet.
Only problem being they aren't really supposed to go on the front axle.
I think I'm going to try having a set done...I'll let you know how they work out.
