How loud are they on the highway? I just got Michelin LTX put on mine, super quiet.
Haven't noticed a difference in noise yet from the stock Hankooks. I haven’t been over 40mph yet but doubt it’ll too noticeable if I didn’t at 40.

any lift on it or stock?

It has the Fox 2.0 upgrade, so about 2 inches of lift in the front. I told them I wanted it level, so maybe only 1.5 inches in the front.

I've tested full lock going in reverse and forward, no rub.

I will say there's no way you could fit 285's on stock rims, the 275's are pretty close to the spindle.

I'm running duratracs as well, and once they wear a bit I can definitely say they are a good bit louder. Mine start to really hum after about 45 mph, although I don't hear them much at 80 since wind noise takes over. But they do seem to vary in loudness, not sure why but some days they seem a good bit louder than others at like 50-60.

That being said, these aren't mud terrains so they're not THAT loud.

I'm also on Duratracs, and love them.

That's strange, especially that it is not constant. I don't notice much extra noise. Maybe it's a size, ply, P/LT or PSI difference. I'm running LT285/70-17 D rated at 37PSI.

Even switching to my winters, I don't notice any noise difference.

Could be, mine are p rated (couldn't argue with the price) at 265/70/17, so maybe the P compound is softer and therefore noisier. I keep my PSI around 35, but I'm not great at tracking it since i currently don't have tire pressure sensors.

I've always liked the looks of DuraTracs, but the constant complaints about road noise as they start to wear has kept me away.
