Mitsubishi Triton 2013: Do I need to upgrade my tyres?

I have my 2013 Mitsubishi Triton set up for my work as an electrician with a custom-made aluminium full canopy on the back.

There is a fair bit of weight in the canopy so I’m wondering what sort of tyres should I put on it. I don't go off roading, or 4WD at all, and I've only ever had highway tyres on it. So I’m just wondering if I stick with them, or should I get 4WD tyres so they last longer with the weight load? But bearing I also want a quiet ride.

I presume you’re not overloading the ute, so fit some Light Truck tyres. Passenger car tyres would be quieter, and the ride would be more comfortable, but you really need tyres capable of carrying the load.
