I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up Hak9s. The LT3s are not significantly louder that the Falken AT3s I run in the summer. In the Hakka lineup, the studs fit slightly into little pockets that I think help alleviate some of the noise. In contrast the Michelin studs were noticeably louder.

I thought I would follow up on my prior post for anyone that might be interested. I opted for the 285/70/17D and put a winter driving season on them. I’m mostly on ice covered highways, ice/snow covered city roads and gravel mountain roads up to ski hills. A couple of observations: 1) I...

My truck does the same when the temperature drops below -20C. Mine is a 2022 Sport S. It has creaked when cold since ~4,000km. The truck has about 8,500km now.
