What are the quietest tires-

Machado7 · 11-21-2007, 07:31 PM

I have an 04-(285/70/17s). I had the BFG Rugged Trail TAs and they were quiet, but wore out too fast. I replaced them with Kuhmo's Road Venture ATs, but the tire noise is so much louder that I am considering a swap.
What are the quietest tires on the forum??

Which Duelers did you have? Because I've had excellent wear with the Revos in the past, and they are pretty damn quiet.

Sammy, See my edit. I ran downstairs to be sure I didnt have my friends tires and mine mixed up (we both bought Kuhmo's when our OEM's were gone. He has the duelers on his Chebby. I had the BFGs.

Sorry about the edit- caused a 2nd post (had edit page open too long?).

The quietest tires would be passenger tires.

I hear no difference between the Rugged Trails and the Revos.

ditto on the Alenzas, i just recently put on a set and the ride and lack of noise reminds me of the michelins i had on my previous vehicle, the only difference is my wallet is about $200 heavier.

Too many rock concerts in my youth...can't hear that well. I have also been married for many years and I have an "auto-filter" on my hearing. I can tune out anything.
