I found the factory tires to be very, very quiet, but they have very little tread depth. And no, its certainly not obnoxious. Pretty standard highway hum. Id say its a bit worse than i remember from Cooper AT3's & Firestone XT's. But nowhere near as bad as Cooper SST's or BFG TKO's. I dont think...
I guess VAMike doesnt know what he's talking about...
So i didn't actually get to do any serious 4x4. Everything in SC was dry, and i mostly walked around. But i can report of everything else. Highway noise is substantial. Its not any worse than other All Terrain tires, but its certainly not...

I called the dealer, and am bringing it back in Monday morning.
any advice on what I should ask...
