Smooth, quiet 33" tire?
Did a search for various tire threads and came up with nothing. I'm about to make the plunge into some tires/wheels. I don't do anything off-road with my 07 Mega Cab, just pulling my enclosed motorcycle trailer. I'm asking for advice on the quietest riding 33" tire you guys have used. I don't want the drone of an "extreme" off-road tire. thanks for the great advice everyone always gives on this site.

My Extreme AT's are almost "noiseless"......

Not a big fan of the BFG AT's, they seem to pick up nails and screws like a magnet.

you da man,
YOu did not say what size rim! Or maybe I am illiterate. I have some 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Pro Grade that are real quiet. They have a 50k mileage warranty. I have yet to find another D rated tire with a true 50k mileage warranty!

I run the M/T Baja ATZ. It is a 33x13.5x18. I was very surprised as to how little sound these tires make. I only get a slight hum at 85.

The Nitto Terra Grapplers are nice and quiet...

the whole 20" - 33"-35" look is silly on a 3/4-1 Ton work truck... spend your money on the toys its supposed to haul...

Here is my combo. Tires are actually very quiet while looking quite aggressive.


Pics are kinda crappy. They are all I have right now. Mods are in my Sig.
