Kuhmo/Nitto/Pirelli which is quietest?

[LittleBeast]

31x10.70 Nitto terra grapplers (285/60 R18) They fit the stock rims, aren't loud, perform great, and look better than any tire out there!

Pete,

Tirerack.com has a good cross section of the market represented in their "off-road all terrain tire survey".Ck. the stats. on the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo. The only downside's are price & the fact that they don't make them in 18" sizes for you guys w/ newer VX's. I'm getting Revo's mounted in a week or two (265 70 R16) & am anxious to see how well they do in snow.
Good luck in your search, Ldub

So it sounds like the Pirelli's wear a little quicker and are a bit louder which relegates them down on the list.

The Kumho's are quiet but not so good on ice and snow which we usually get a bit of here in MN ..they sound like the favorite so far though

hmmm...

Cyrk, how are the Toyo's for noise? also have you ever used them in snow?

I've just been informed that a tire place here has them on affer at 25% off right now.. I'm just about to call and get a price

Pete:

Check out this tire:
.
http://www.mastercrafttire.com/us/en...itle=SUV+Tires
.
Mastercraft tires are manufactured by Cooper. The 255-55-18 Mastercraft Courser HTR Plus was a tad over $100 per tire - mounted and balanced .... including lifetime balancing and rotation. The tire looks good, rides and handles good/well, and is relatively quiet. The sidewalls are especially 'beefy' and have a raised area to protect the rim.
.
I have these installed on my VX.
.
btw: This tire is also available in 265-60-18. My VX was equipped with the 265-60's when I purchased it. I had them swapped for the 255-55's.

I have these on my vx and I think they are great, like I have said I live in the great state of ND, and I get around just fine with my toyos on my vx, but they are a little noiser then what I would like them to be.
