I need to buy new ires, and like the aggressive look but I am sick of the noise. I am also concerned with wear, wet and snow traction. I have been running Cooper STT and STT pro and have been happy with them aside from the noise. What does everyone like/recommendations?

Hankook Dynapro here, good tire so far. Had them for a couple years now, no complaints other than they like to hold small rocks at times. I would definitely buy another set

I was eyeballing the new Cooper AT3 XLT, I like the sidewall design over the regular AT3

I like the Toyo Open Country AT2 tires, 2nd set ive put on my truck(just put new tires/wheels on today) they do great in snow/wet/ice.

tires i just pulled off had 26,931 miles on them and tread depth ranged from 6/32 to 10/32, new is 17.1 per toyo, i waited too long to rotate them, low spots are in the center. only reason i pulled them is i went to 18'' wheels.

wifes expedition has them on them and so did her 06 denali, cant speak to how long they last, haven't ran a set to the end.

Kind of an oxymoron. Aggressive tires make noise. I haven’t driven on many but I really liked the traction from the Toyo MT

I've got the nitto dura grapplers. Mildly aggressive and quiet on the road. Very happy with them so far

Try out the nitto ridge grappler, kind of aggressive but pretty quiet on the road in my opinion and mine have lasted awesome.. Should get 60k miles or more even looks like..

I went with the Ridge Grapplers, and so far I am very happy with them. They balanced well, ride nice and are quiet.

Falken Wildpeak AT3, General Grabber ATX, Kelley Edge are all good tires that don't break the bank.

My LB7 will be getting a set of the Grabber ATX put on in spring right before towing season.

I have used Cooper AT/AT3's for years for summer, and Cooper Discoverer ST's studded and siped for winter. My last set of winters were Discoverer ST Maxx, still running those and love them. They run quiet for the tread type and I am also considering running the ST Maxx without studs for the summer.

All I can say is DON'T buy Pathfinder A/T's. Wet/Snow traction isn't good.

I didn't end up with them by choice, so don't hate on me too much.

I had Michelin LTX tires on my LB7 and they were great for "normal" driving. Not so much with a 4wd launch.

Here are pics of my truck after the Nitto Duragrapler came apart at 70 mph while towing our 9k lb/35' TT. Damage was over $5300. Fortunately, the tire was sent to Toyo and was found to have a defect so their insurance company is paying the bill.
The truck now has LT285/75R16 Ridge Grapplers...
