So I bought my 2015 Silverado used about 2 months ago. It had a newer set of BFG All-Terrain KO2 LT265/65 R18 on it which is load range E which is perfect for towing our camper.
When I test drove it I noticed the tires were kinda loud. But since I have significant hearing loss and wear aids in both ears I didn't think it would bother me much. Well it's getting on my nerves as well as anyone that rides with me. So for the heck of it I downloaded the decibel app today. Sure enough, I hit 35mph and I'm at 87-91 decibels. At idle I'm at 55 decibel. It stays steady at 87-91 regardless of my speed over 35. They quiet down a bit if I'm making a sweeping curve on the freeway, but otherwise they're loud.
Curious if anyone else is experiencing this with a similar setup?
Hate to pull nearly new tires, but I think the money would be well spent.
I had that exact size on my 2012 F150 Screw 4WD and they were really quiet. Don't know what you may be hearing. What I hated was their lack of traction in the rain. For that reason, I won't be a repeat buyer. I was running them at 47 psi which is what I needed in rating and where even tread wear was shown by the chaulk test.
