Any AT Tires that don't get LOUD as they wear down?

I had a set of "Fierce Attitude" 35x12.5r17 on my 2013 JKU and doing a 5 tire rotation every 5k or 6k miles and I got 80k miles out of that set. They were quiet, good in snow and wore like iron. I kept them at 35 psi and that seemed to work well

The key to keeping your tires running quit is to cross rotate X.

I'm a religious 6K cross rotator!

If you find your tires are getting noisy at 6k rotation try 3k rotation.
Once they chalk up and get noisy no mater what you do they will always be noisy.
I found on my jeeps 2k to 3k works the best.

I like noisy tires.

Part of the fun for me is tire noise. I told someone a few weeks ago that I didn't care if my Gladiator sounded like a B 17 taking off going down the road. But I do cross rotate my tires, not for noise reduction but to increase tread life.

When I was younger, I loved loud exhaust, loud tires and loud stereos. These days....the tinnitus in my ears is so loud I can't even watch tv without the closed captioning. So between my hearing, the soft top / wind noise..... I try to keep it quieter the older I get. But tread life is important, big tires aren't cheap

I know what you mean. I am old and deaf, even hearing aids can only do so much, but the Jeep has enough wind noise that I figure a bit of tire noise won't really matter. But I was not the average youth many years ago. I never wanted my cars to be loud, and I didn't insist on the people in the car beside me hearing my music.

BFG ATs since they came out in the 70s for my Daily Drivers , never an issue and never loud !

I scored some slick AEV wheels and want to put AT's on them and just keep my MT set with the trashed wheels for well, wheeling. I had Faulken AT's but they got so loud on the highway after 15-20kk miles. My general experience is that aggressive tread tires get louder as they wear. Anyone find ones that haven't? Looking at Toyo ATs.

I do tire testing, and for the price and 50k warranty, hands down Kenda AT2s. You can check the price on simpletire.com and then buy locally. I have over 30k miles, half on extreme trails, and they are awesome.

I've been running Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs in a 5-tire cross rotation, moving things around every 10K miles. The set has more than 60K miles on it and still working well and running pretty quiet.

Had KO2s for 50K before that in a 4-tire cross rotation, they were good on noise but really lost winter traction so they came off.

A 2nd on the MT Baja Boss! Like them much better than the Faulken MTs and after 15k miles, no appreciable noise increase, in fact, they're not noisy at all.

51K miles on Grabber AT'x and still quiet as can be.

I came here to say something similar.
We've had multiple sets of Gen. Grab AT-x in 37s for a JT and factory size for a 4Runner.
Both sets have been nothing shy of amazing and quiet, despite living in the mountains where every direction requires multiple mountain passes for any trip.

Even wear, and quiet from new to old.

All of our Wild Peaks A/T and M/Ts always get loud. M/Ts more so.
We've had 4 sets of the Falks in total and always replace them by 25-30k because of the sounds.
On a Jeep, the M/Ts are loud by 8k. Maybe they just need rotating every 2k or something?

Now we tried Toyo OC A/T 3s and while not loud, noticeably more so than the Gen. they replaced.

I am bummed to see that Gen. Grab. A/T-X in 37s don't seem to be made any longer?! Everywhere says, not available...

My tire guy told me with aggressive AT or MT tires should be rotated every oil change to avoid this.

He's a ASE/Nissan and Nissan GTR Master certified technician. He literally has $20k+ in Hunter mounting and road force balancer in his home garage as a side gig. He's the only independent guy w/i 500 miles outside of two dealers that can do carbon fiber wheels for Shelby Mustangs or C8 ZO6 Corvettes.

I've followed his instructions and my 37x13.5r17s Maxxis RAZR M/T are near dead silent for an MT tire. I currently have 27k miles on them with about 50-55 tread left and they were only rated for 40k miles. There must be something to his knowledge/certifications

I loved the Toyo AT3 I had on my last SUV. I miss them and will likely add them or the RT to my Gladiator this summer.

They were not too loud, held the road very well, and were great in light mud and sand, and excellent for winter and snow driving.
