What about quiet tires?

So there is a thread about loud tires but I’m wondering about quiet tires.  I have my stock Bridgestone tires and they seem a pretty good balance between an all season tire and being quiet.  My guess is that my next set will be Michelins.  Not sure what model.  Any recommendations on a good, all season quiet tire?  Note that off road for me is parking on my lawn when there’s not enough room in my driveway so that’s not a consideration.

The original Bridgestone Dueler 684 II's on my 2015 were not just quiet they were indestructible. 125K on them when I took them off with 5/32 left. They dated out. No weather checking. Now wearing a s

The first thing I did was to trade the stock 22s on my denali for the Defender LTX m/S2. I think the difference was about $1200 installed. Worth it IMO.

Those look nice!  I’m surprised they’re quiet.  Definitely on the list!

What size tires are we talking about and what truck?

Michelin LTX M/S2 are a great tire. Quite and good rain/snow traction. Good life span too.

This is the tire that came OEM: Bridgestone Dueler HT D/684 255 70R17

125,000 miles of trouble free service which I thought were both quite and comfortable.

My stock tires are 275/60/20’s and my truck is a stock ‘21 Denali (no lift or other suspension mods).

That is not an all season highway tire.

Fwiw, the 'all seasons' will be quieter than 'all terrains', which will be quieter than 'mud terrains'. 

 

If you don't need all season or all terrain a 'highway' tire should be even quieter and provide better tire life.

 

I've been a Michelin LTX AT/2    ( there is also a new LTX MS )

But haven't bought in a few years and always interested to hear what is new or what others are having success with.

Do not buy the Nitto Ridge Grappler if you see heavy amounts of snow and deal with ice on the roads. Just look at the tread pattern, they are garbage on anything icy. Trust me on that one, we sell a lot of them here and hear all the complaints because too many stupid people only care about how the tire looks and not how they perform when you need them to.

 

Michelin Defenders are going to be some of the best tires out there. Pirelli makes a nice tire too for an all season that is quiet.

Thanks, I’ll do my homework. I may even go to a summer/winter set up.  Got time and looking for advice.

Check out the Toyo AT/3's. They have done real well all around and are 3 peak rated for weather up here too.

They do just fine on the highway.  Literally ride like stock.  I run these year round, however I do live in the south.  We recently had snow and ice and they did just fine.

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
