Pat logic is a friend and OP asked about Mt , muddies with big gaps will mainly grip bigger rocks on which your hopefully going slower so they hit with less force, an AT or road tyre will grab more pebbles and gravel, pepper spraying underneath. As rambling boy said about the 697's, this will be at much higher speed, doing more damage to both vehicle and eardrums. To pick up nothing you need steel wheels with a smooth face.
The 255's fit well within the standard arch and only throw stuff up the side, like standard rims, on turning. Or with different Offset/spacers.

I have Hankook Dynapro MT RT03s on my Iveco and will fit them to the D90 some time very soon. Very good tyres, especially for the price.
