I thought for sure going from an altering tire to a mud truck tire I was going to have to live with a new level of noise, man I was wrong. I read a review by someone who said these tires were noisy, I couldn't disagree more. In fact I would say my worn down BF Goodrich all terrain tires were more noisy. I live on Kauai and it is called the Garden Island for good reason. In order to keep it this green it has to rain all the damn time, rain = mud. If it is rock you need to grab covered in mud or dry these tires will get you where you want to go and allow you to put the tires where you want without sliding around to where you do not want to go. Simply incredible performance on and off road wish they could last forever in fact I may never buy a different tire ever again. Unless its not for the truck ;-)
