    I have these on mine now, like them a lot. They are as loud as any regular A/T, havent had them in snow yet but should well.

    I'm using Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires right now, kinda noisey though. Have had pretty good luck with A/T Falkens on my R.R. LWB (this will be my third set...). I'm running the Coopers on my Series III, but can't tell if they're noisey or not...

    I've been running Cooper Discoverer M&S tires a couple of winters and they haven't let me down, even off-road. They are load range 'E' tires for light trucks, but then, at a little over one and a half ton, what's a Discovery?

    I know they work well over-all, I've used them on long highway trips and year round. I've been running the same ones for about two years now. I can't say as how loud they are, as my Series is pretty loud on it's own.

    For the last 18 months I've been running Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2's and think I've finally found a great tire. Last year we got a boat load of snow here in Minnesota and the truck handled awesome. We had an ice storm and the roads were like a skating rink...again, the truck handled awesome (as best it could on glare ice).

    I drive everyday for work around the Metro area and the handling is great, the road noise is not too bad (depending on the asphalt below me). I talk on my cellphone via blue-tooth headset and can almost always hear while driving 60+mph.

    I highly recommend the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 and think you'd do well with them.

    I have 225/75R16 BFG Mud Terrains and they fit great. Little taller than stock and still narrow. I notice the new MT's are quieter than the K/O model 265/75R16's I have on our lifted D2. Not a Michelin ZXL but still very aggresive looking and similar in profile. Same size Camel Discoveries used for the 1997 Mongolia event.
