you should look into an A/T tire then or all terrain instead of mt or mud terrain. definately look for a radial for ride, noise reduction and better/longer wear/life. Maybe try tirerack.com or summitracing.com.

Why do they sound bad? Explain? What are you running now?

I'm guessing the howl or whine of the knobbies on them, you know how they "sing you to sleep"

Those are the best tires I have had. nice and quiet and handle great on the road, aggressive look, great in snow and mud and last a long time, I won't buy any other a/t tire. they also have a solid white letter which is getting harder to find.

yeah the white letters was one of the things i like the most about it living in a snow area and driving this truck everyday i wanted the best tires out there and these look great and from what i read that handle great in all weather.
