Tires NITTO or Cooper
I just put a fresh set of Cooper AT3 XLT 31s on my truck. They're even more quiet than the last set of Coopers (ATP XL). The tread blocks are spaced wider, and are vastly more aggressive too.
I have the coopers, they work great in the snow. Likely a bit quieter than the toyos
Cooper's are good tires. I'm sure it varies model to model, but I find the ST Maxx far better than the KO2s I had.
Cooper makes a good tire, I am running a set of them at the moment actually... I wouldn't hesitate on those and would take them new over a used Michelin or Goodyear with 50% tread any day
Got rid of mine at 22k miles and put Cooper AT3 4S all terrains on in beginning of ‘21. Have 36k on the Coopers and they’re doing just fine. Will never buy Goodyears and I like having tires that were made in the USA.
I've had my Ridge Grapplers for about 4 years. Mostly highway. My only complaint would be wet pavement traction is not as good as I would prefer. Dry pavement is as good as I need it. Best traction of any tire I've ever had in snow. Road noise is pretty damn low for an aggressive looking tire. The best thing about these tires that will make me get another set soon is that I currently have about 100,000 miles on them.
Take a look for some Nitto in your area. Made by Toyo and decent looking tread patterns. And 3pms rated on a few.
I bought new Nittos and custom wheels that were about 1-1/2” bigger diameter. Each step looked better, and it looks really great now - except now its a little over-the-top, and my mileage is kind of terrible.
When I got my TRD Pro that came with the stock nittos I couldn’t stand the road noise, immediately swapped them out for K02s and it was a world of a difference, I haven’t run other popular tires but I would never recommend the nittos after my experience.
I have the Ridge Grapplers. Got them because so many people online mentioned how quiet they are. Their definition of quiet differs greatly from mine. They will also get progressively louder as miles go by.
