If you are really that worried about road noise, though, you should go with an all-terrain tire. Most tires such as the M16 and the Toyo MT (both on the mild side of the mud tire spectrum) will start out only slightly louder than the stock BFGs, but even with religious rotation, they will get progressively louder.


Thanks for writing back.....and ya, I am that worried about noise. I have lifted f150 that I've had IROKS and CLAWS on.....and they would spoil the nice quite interior, one of the reasons why I bought this truck, with their intrusive noise. It's exactly what I DON'T want being I will be doing alot of 1000 mi + road trips with it.

It doesn't sound like either the toyo or the swamper would be right for me. I think my only two AT choices in a 37 diameter 22in rim would be the NITTO AT and BF TA KO. My main concern with those is..... that they will not look rugged enough and my truck will look like a pavement princess. Which is the exact look I want to avoid.

I've never seen the nitto to compare...... Which AT in 37 / 22 will look the most aggressive?
