......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.

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.
