ALL-TERRAIN tires

[Big_Kahuna]

I'm looking to replace the stock good year tires on my truck, they drive hard and very very LOUD,   so what is the most quiet ALL-TERRAIN tires ?

How many miles are you at?  My Duratracs are at 34,000 and have been super loud for the past 5000 miles or so.  I still have a 1/4" of tread but am likely to replace soon.  I have heard BFGs are more quiet, but have not personally run them in years.

I loved the factory trail runners quiet ride, exceptional wear and great fuel economy.  They didn't have the street presence of a dedicated off-road tire so I switched up to the grabber ATX .  They wear well.... But they suck for daily driving.

Quiet and all terrain don't always go hand and hand. You will still hear most of them at lower speeds but nothing at higher speeds because of wind noise.

 

Toyo Open Country AT3's are some of the best for your money. Sell the Goodyears and make a bunch of your money back.

Changed my factory Goodyears out before its first winter, wanted a more snow leaning type of tire without going to a full winter type and another set of rims. Went with the Toyo Open Country AT3's and agree with CamGTP as they are quiet.

The BFGs are a good choice. I don't really notice much tire noise at all.

The Hankook Dynapro Extremes and the Cooper AT3's are other choices, they are a decent amount cheaper than KO2's and the Toyo's.

i have tried them all, duracraps ko2 toyo and the trailrunner that came on the truck. i call them duracrap because they are, at 50 percent tread these tires are dangerous in the winter. bought the ko2 and loved the tire until they were at 50 % and they became very loud but still great traction. then i bought the toyo at3 and it is a good tire but tread life wasnt great and had to be replaced with in a year. i put 40k miles on in a year so tires get expensive. my truck came with the trailrunners and they are ok but at 30k miles they wont make it through a canadian winter. so next i am going to try the bfg trail terrain, it is a step down from the ko2 but gets really good reviews

I have around 58K on my Duratracs and they have been phenomenal.  I have maybe 15K left on them but they are getting loud enough to where I have realized I wont be buying a second set of them.  As far as performance goes though, they have been flawless and I wouldn't hesitate to put them on a truck that was going to see significantly more off road time than what I have planned for my daily driver.  Their off road grip has been second to none and the wear characteristics have be exceptional as well.  The ONLY issue with them is the noise, and its to the point where I've decided that the tradeoff between off road performance and noise is not acceptable to me anymore.

 

The Toyo AT3's, Cooper AT3's, Trail Runners, and 2nd generation of KO2's are all pretty quiet, so just pick a tread pattern that is aesthetically pleasing to you.  Good Luck!

This is my experience as well.  For some reason, my Duratracs are only loud at 55 MPH.  I'm also thinking of replacing with BFG's.

I have run Ko's and now Ko 2's for the last 3 decades on my trucks and have had nothing but great luck with them. Besides they absolutely imo  look better than any other tire on the market and it really is not even close imo, they also have the performance to match their looks.

 

My current set of Ko's now have over 50k on them, the original Ko's would dry crack at this point but the ko'2s seem to be made a bit better imo. Still i will be replacing them soon as they are nearing a decade old now.

 

Yup you will most likely pay more for the BFG tires over most other types but the added price is worth it imo, like i said i have over 3 decades of positive experience with BFG all terrains, i bet you will be hard pressed to find anyone else here on this website that can confidently claim the same with another brand!

I have been researching this topic for a while and it seems the majority from all the sites and FB groups most really like the Toyo Open Country AT3's  I'll more than likely go that route this spring.  Just not liking the $1,500 cost.  I know prices have climbed up,  My BFG KO'2's a long time ago were only $800 installed.
