Quiet tires?

I have the tow vehicle in my sig. I currently run BF Goodrich All Terrain KO's. It seems they are increasing in noise as they wear. I think I might get the rest of the summer out of them. I am starting to do my research on replacement tires already. I would like to stay with an E rated tire. Probably and all-terrain or maybe a hwy tread. There has to be something quieter than what I have. Recommendations? Thanks, John.

I have run both and IMHO are both very good towing tires.

Okay guys. Can anyone tell me the difference between the Firestone Transforce and the Firestone Destination tires. I looked but couldn't tell. Thanks, John

I've put BFGs on every truck or SUV I've owned. I love the tires, but they are noisy, and not great for fuel mpg, either.

I think I'm going to go with the Michelin LTX MS2 for my F150 and see how those do. I've never owned a set, but they get great reviews.

I have Firestone TransForce also and they are quiet. I hate noisy tires it's one of my pet peeve's. Just replaced noisy BF Goodrich tires on wife Santa Fe with Michelin X radials and they are quiet.

General Grabbers, highway tread yet great wet weather and snow traction. I'm on my 3rd set.
Priced right too

I have the BFG All Terrains on my F150, and yes they seem to get louder with age. Great tires other than the noise. When putting new tires on my F250 I opted for the less aggressive BFG Rugged Terrain tires. They are much quieter, but still have an aggressive tread. Performed great this winter while plowing.

I have Yokohama Geolander. Have had them about 6 months and no issues so far including tow my fiver that weighs about 13,000 lbs.

Also had no issues with heavy rain, or snow and ice.

Both Michelin LTX AT2 and MS2 are quiet long wearing tires, AT's being all terrain and MS being a highway tire, yet rated better than the AT in winter, but are not winter rated.

I have run both and IMHO are both very good towing tires.

X2! Have run them for over 10 years on 3 different Tow Vehicles and 2 heavy trailers. Great tires and have no intention of changing at this point.
