I have the Pro Comp Xterrains. They have a similar tread pattern, and are not loud on the road (though they do get noisier with age). However, they are nowhere near as good as the Pro Comp ATs I used to have. The ATs are better in everything but mud. I like the look, but am going back to AT next time.

I buy tires based on looks and these are my 2nd favorite looking tire behind the Nitto Mudd Grapplers. The grapplers last forever, but all mudd tires will be kinda loud on the highway and will not perform that great on wet pavement.

x2. The Pro-Comp "All Terrain" is truly a top-notch tire in the 285/60R18 (31.3" O.D.) size. The Pro-Comp A/T weighs only 43 lbs and is Snowflake/Mountain rated. The other tire you should seriously consider is the infamous General - Grabber AT2 in P275/65R18-116S (44 lbs/32" O.D.) and is both studable & Snowflake/Mountain rated.

If you really want to be special, you can join the very elite 35" O.D. club of which there are only a few VX members. The perfect 35" O.D. tire size for the VX is 285/75R18 and will still fit on the OEM 18x7 Stock Rims and there are only four(4) tires made in this rare size:

LT285/75R18 (35" O.D.)

(1). Toyo - A/T (Only "A/T" tire made in the world in this size, and my personal favorite in this size).
(2). Toyo - M/T (Traditional M/T tread pattern, non-studable).
(3). Maxxis - MT-762 Bighorn (Only "studable" tire made in the world in this size).
(4). Good/Year - Wrangler M/T-R with Kevlar (Only "asymetrical" tire made in the world in this size).


BTW, you mentioned you don't like tires with a "roar" factor. Well then; you should stay clear of all M/T designed tires, and only seek A/T designed tires. A/T tires are far more quiet and offer a more comfortable smooth ride on pavement, whilst still providing great traction in many varying terrain conditions. Just food for thought.
