Kuhmo/Nitto/Pirelli which is quietest?

[jim.LR>AR]

kumho's here no increase in noise. Do track pretty bad in bad spots in the roads. We just got 6 inches of ice and snow they did ok. The road crews here SUCK . The salt here is more sand and it takes days to clean the streets off. The wider the tire the worse performance in the snow. I went any where I wanted to passed 20 cars in the ditches. There seems to be min. wear on them with 13000 miles. Worse thing is the tracking in the ruts next time I'll get skinner tires because I'm seldom off road.. They do look sweet . The other sday a fine ***** young lady came up and was hardly able to control herself after seeing them .....no not really , but they are sweet

Ended up with Yokohaha Geolander 52's in 255/55/18 after finding the reviews section in i think it was tireracks website they had the best overall score on noise and snow/ice ratings in my price range. $668 installed.

So far i'm very impressed, they are definitely way quieter and smoother than the stock bridgestones, my driveway is all ice and snow at the moment and they get me up and down there much better too.

So, thanks everyone for the input, incidentally i did try the local Cooper tires dealer, they would not supply them as they were a different rating to what was called for for the VX, softer wall i think he said.
