Anyone running Large A/T tires that are "quiet"

[panthermike]

I got the P-metric 275/60R20 vs. the LT because I don’t need the load capacity and I wanted a decent ride.

I’ve not had them over 65 yet, but they’re good at that speed.

A hair more firm than the Michelin LTX, but not firm compared with many trucks I’ve ridden in. A good ride.

A hair less steering precision than the LTX, but not bad.

I haven’t taken a long road trip with them - so I can’t give a full review yet.

If you wouldn't mind, please update. Would love to hear your impressions after a few more miles

Yeah, I am trying to figure out if I can get away with P-rated. The only reason why I would go LT is puncture resistance. We use Sequoia for really long trips, but then I will go to places like Ophir Pass, Imogen, Webster etc. and I would hate to have a puncture there. I am not sure whether Aramid would provide enough protection in P rated category.

The vast majority of half-ton pickups come with P" rated tires that qualify for what ever payload, towing capacities, etc. stated by the manufacturer.
Can't speak to puncture resistance.

Correct! One needs to look at the load ratings. There are usually two load ratings on 1/2 ton "P" truck tires. SL for Standard Load and XL for Xtra Load.

Yeah, I am not worried about towing. I don't tow, and I know tow ratings correspond to whatever tire specifications the vehicle comes with.
I will probably do 95% of HWY driving and 5% off-road. So I want something with superb HWY performance but also good puncture resistance, I am thinking of an LT version of Defender or something like that. Would like to get away with P rating, though. Thinking that Nokian nAT might be good compromise bcs. Aramid walls, but P rating.
I don't want a flat here:

The last thing I'd want, is a license plate that's easy to remember, especially on a supercar.

"Yes Officer, the McLaren with '2.0 GPA' on the license plate, was exceeding the speed limit by 5 miles per hour".

If you feel compelled to show 24/7 to the public that you are at the point where you can afford a supercar and that you had a miserable GPA, then some serious insecurities are going on, and police is the least of an issue.

Thanx. That looks interesting. I checked Tire Rack, I like that wet performance.

I found them quite wander prone on the highway, at least on my lifted Tacoma. I did have the LT though, so probably deeper tread. It was bad enough that I dumped them.

They did do quite well in slush and snow though.

I found Goodyear All Terrain Wrangler with Kevlar to be quieter on the highway than the original Bridgestone A/T tires on my Colorado. The Goodyears shed mud from the tread quicker than the Bridgestones too.

I recently brought a set of Milestar Patagonia XTs and they’ve been surprisingly quiet for how aggressive the design is. Not noticeable compared to the HT tires that they replace. Silverado 1500.

Good traction off road and balanced out easy. It’s an extreme terrain/hybrid tire. If you’re going for looks, this is probably the best segment to be in. not as aggressive as MTs but road manners are a lot better.

I figured that went without saying.

BFG ATs fit the bill nicely.......like always.

but for the price the Sumitomo Encounter is appealing.

Find me a highway tire in that size and i'm in!

Will see. If I don’t sell Bridgestone Dualer Alenza I currently have on 20” wheels for the summer (I would get 18” wheels off Facebook) I will keep them this summer.
Maybe pick up this then next summer. Toying with idea to go Defender LT load range.

I'm very late to the party, but I put a set of Cooper Discover Road+Trail on my truck and their dead silent. They're only 32's, so not big by any measure. They aren't super aggressive, but meaty enough to handle what I do with my truck. They also carry a 3 peak rating if you need that.

 

[svtrit]

Not sure why you need tires like this? I know bunch of people who do serious off roading using Michelin Defender in LT version. Find size that has tires like Defender, Continental TerraiContact etc. With hardcore off road tires you are not only giving up quietness, but mostly wet performance.
I plan to do with Sequoia Ophir Pass, Imogen Pass etc here in CO, and will get Michelin Defender in LT category.
They don’t look badass but guess what, they do more work on and off road.

I have the Defender LT on my 2017 F150 that sees off-road use farming and have been deeply impressed with them in mud and snow. This is the first set I’ve had.

I have KO3’s on my Wrangler and like them, but they do have some noise.

Goodyear Wrangler Adventuretrack with the Kevlar sidewalls are very quiet and great both on and off-road.

Those are stealing the show on the tire rack reviews right now. If I was in the market, I’d be looking at those and the new Bridgestone dueler ascent. I also quite liked the Yokohama G015 and the Continental TerrainContact, but for this thread I suspect both the yoko and conti may be a little light duty.
